Carb sat with fuel in it for about a year. Of course the gas went bad and gummed it up. I tore it apart and cleaned it. First start it ran extremely lean. Bike had no power and would cut out above quarter throttle. Tore it down again and did a better job of cleaning it. Jets appear to be clear. Put it back togeth...

Hi. The previous owner of my bike had the tank re-sprayed to a good standard, however he tried to apply the 'standard' TTR stickers to each side and it didn't go so well! They are also now peeling at the front as well and would like to replace them. I like the 'retro' 80's colours and would like to stick w...

This is, hopefully, going to be a simple restoration of a 2006 TTR to as near new standard condition as I sensibly can. The before pics look better than the the bike originally was when I bought it as I forgot to take pics before power washing it, fitting a legal exhaust, side panels, plus fitting a headli...
Trimmed the airbox snorkel inlet. As anticipated, the fuel screw was turned out to compensate (out about 3.75 turns now). The a$$ dyno feels a slightly stronger pull on bottom, but sort of falls off up top. Any Comments or concerns? I'm running an UNI air filter with a Mikuni vm28/486 42.5 pilot and a n1...

Is there anywhere that has longer clutch cables or is there a cable from another bike that's longer & will fit the TTR... need about 75mm longer.. Just fitted fat bars & risers...
Hello, My 2004 ttr has developed a rattle. Its actually more of a jingle that happens when the engine is not under load. I wondered if it could be the clutch plates having worn tabs but any thoughts would be welcome before dismantling anything. Thanks Alex
Take advantage of another one of my mis-orders - this time for genuine Yamaha LH (disc side) wheel spacers.I meant to have ordered the plain "collars" for the RH side on the white TTRs but bought RH ones by mistake If your existing spacer is grooved where the oil seal fits then it will allow d...

Hi All New to the forum. Am on the hunt for a TTR after my DR350 was stolen out of my back garden last week! Pikie scum no doubt :( I've never really done any serious off roading as I was just using my DR to commute to work and back, but I definitely want to start riding some lanes :) Mike

Hi all I had a quick look to see if I could find a guide to removing a rear shock but couldn't find one on here. Am I missing it or if there isn't one could anyone offer some advice or pictures if you have any? I'm sending it off to Justin Gibbs, as recommended elsewhere on this forum. Thanks Scott

After my first ever day out trail riding I was coming back along the main road and the bike all of a sudden lost power like it does when you run out of fuel. It then picked up and then did it again, so I switched the bike to reserve thinking I was running out of fuel. However this continued until I stopped at tra...
After being dormant for two months my ttr has finally woken from it's hibernation. I just got a brand new Michelin AC-10 enduro tire as well as a Tusk Enduro kit. Sorry for the bad pictures, phone sucks. Will test ride soon!
