Fancy fitting some Wavy discs to my TTR, but when asking about I have had a mixed response to the idea in general. Just wondered if owners who have fitted Wavy discs have found an improvement, and under what conditions? One silly question - brake grease - where do you put it and more important where don't...
Wondering why some of my posts have the new post symbol beside them. Also some of my pics are the wrong way up. Im doing all this on an iphone. Any suggestions to help me post better plez.
I have just stripped out a linkage arm where the previous owner had tried replacing the standard spherical bearing with phosphor bronze plain bearing It didn't work as you will see from the pics below
Had a miss-fire problem since I had the bike, thought I had cured it with a new plug and cleaning the plug seating on the head but it's come back again. I was wondering if it could be a faulty coil or plug cap - or anything else?. I can't see it being a carb problem - that's been cleaned out a few times. It mainly...

Hi all, I've got a few questions about distributing oil in the forks to get the correct oil level reading. The service manual that I downloaded from this forum gives details of how to distribute the fork oil when refilling the forks, but I am still not totally clear on the process. In the Front Fork, Asse...

2007 model. 9000 kms. Only had bike for 3 months so thought id check the plug. Looks like it maybe the original plug from new. Abit rusty. will crab a new one and keep it as a spare.
When attempting to adjust the rear suspension rebound damping on my 2005 TTR250 I discovered that it doesn't click when rotated. This is the knurled dial at the bottom of the shock. The manual describes all of the suspension adjustments in terms of "clicks". Can someone describe the cli...

I just got back from riding the TTR for a few days in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, north of Lake Tahoe. Since not many of you are in North America, let alone California, I posted the report on the XT forum. If you are interested in seeing the pics and report of my time there, I have posted a full report on th...
Packed and raring to go, off to the Isle of Man for three days green laneing, boat leaves Heysham at 0200 hrs Friday, glad I only live 1/2 a mile down the road in Morecambe. and yes top box comes off just leaving the rack
Opened up shed 2night after 3 days... just about got knocked over by the smell of fuel that hit me.... Even with the fuel tap turned off... 1/4 of a tank of fuel had managed to exscape... So I would say both the fuel tap & carb need looking at... "Get yer #@&% togeather Yamaha this things only...
I recently had the seat recovered and when I look at the underside it is obvious there were once a couple of rubber (or similar) pads on the underside and there is a 6mm thread for attaching same. Our upholsterer tells us that "No, I never saw any pads there". It looks to me as though they would h...
Thanks for the supplier list, besides what Brian stocks, any recommendations for a good UK Yamaha spares online supplier for items he doesn't stock. I've used Wemoto but they are mainly service items, and some parts from A J Sutton for my XTR, any others you have had experience with. Not that I need...
I decided it was time for an oil and filter change, however it seems that last time I topped up the oil I must have over tightened the filler cap, as today I could not get it off......... Needless to say, the bolt head is now rounded off. so two things: firstly, in the short term, can I get oil into the engine...
Hi, is there a particular type of grease that should be used to lubricate the wheel spindles ( are they called this, the shafts that come out to take the wheels off )? When repairing a puncture "in the field" it was pointed out to me that they shouldn't be dry so I thought I'd check if there was a c...
As title really, while at home its secure but I wondered what people recommend for when your out and about ? Im not after the thickest heaviest chain man can carry as I want to be able to move on the bike lol, But I feel something would be a good idea, looked at the small disc lock type of thing, any suggestion...
Took the TTR for it's first real ride... A few single tracks thought the forestry... but the Rekluse clutch was slipping so much I had to bring the revs on quite slowly to try and keep the slip to a minimin.. didn't really work but at least I haven't fryed the clutch or oil.. so I looks as if I will be back ins...
Hi there everyone, Matt here from Snowy Connecticut. So I finally got to ride my new to me 2006 TTR today. I REALLY love this thing. There's a lot of different thoughts going on in my head, I havent had a bike since I left London 25 years ago... Marriage, two teens, work, all the other stuff - then I lost m...

Hi Guys, I am swapping out my standard 14 tooth front sprocket for a 13 tooth one and noticed (as shown in pics) the current one seems to have rubber on both sides that the new one doesn't. Is this something I need to mount on the new one???? Or just an option that is not really necessary?? Thanks, Michae...
So .............. 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIAN
