Hello all! Just joined this useful forum. I'm a TRF member since 2010 (Herts group), looking for a TTR for laning. I've been on one of them there orange bikes for the past few years, but I'm after something a bit more easy going and lower maintenance! The cash is burning a hole in my pocket...
Hi Today I rode for about 15miles and the bike spluttered as though the fuel was running out and I needed to switch to reserve, I did this which seemed to solve the "issue' however the bike died about a quarter of a mile later. I then had to push it for a few mins as it would not re start. After trying agai...
Really been needing a luggage rack for the back of my bike but there was no way I could afford a couple hundred dollars for a new one. Got this rack on eBay for $30 including postage from Tasmania to the Hunter Valley. Its from a Kawasaki GPZ750 and needed a little creativity to fit. A bit of flat bar steel an...
Hi, as above. The sun shone so I went for a spin and came back minus my freshly polished right hand side panel on my 93 open enduro! Gutted! If anyone can help please drop me a line. Cheers Mud
I saw this while doing a quick search and like the colour (spelt Australian) scheme VERY MUCH! I thought I would share this picture with people as it is the first time I have seen it (I have been on here a year roughly). All credit to Brian for doing such a great job (as usual). Just finished refurbishing a 1...
On the exhaust side. Side cover and battery cover there is a silver sticky tape shielding protecting the plastic from melting.. Sort of like the material Dr smiths space suit was made of in the show lost in space. Without going to Mr Yamaha and paying a fortune, is there anything you guys have used to giv...
I bought a few crates of TTR parts last week and in amongst them was this generator cover. I have chipped off the Chemical Metal so that the damage is obvious. Got to be about the worst I have seen

Well the old girl has just had a top end rebuild, the speedo fixed and some nice new shoes, D606's again to be exact.... My nephew gave her heaps but now she is ticking over like a TAG Heuer from the Philippines. As I can't seem to think about riding anything other than my juicy Tenere the TTR is now in the ha...

Hello fellow TTR riders, After fitting the main nozzle from an old 4GY 1994 model I thought it was only ''fitting'' to take it for a test run. Let me tell you- doing this has made the performance much better and the O-ring fitted makes it a lot ''smoother''. Here is a vid of the test run... [video=http://...
Today I went out for a ride with Steve and Rob………… Steve on his OE and Rob on the Serow equipped with a tow rope and hells angel rear Maltese cross as a rear light.

Back home now - great company, great weather, and very nice pasties/ice creams/pot of tea and carrot cake Rode 43 "green lanes". Only covered 49 miles in 6 hours. I must confess the snack stops did take up a bit of time Ride report to follow on this thread! Brian
This would have been asked before I guess but here goes. What engine oil seems to work in the TTR ? I had been using a racing 4T (maxima) oil in the XR & never had a problem, been thinking about a semi Syn oil 10w 40, I'm using the same in my Triumph's but they ask for a semi syn oil so I'm using 10w 40 Maxima. ...
