As above, can anyone please talk me through adjusting the headstock bearings? The MOT guy said there was slight play, so I want to get them sorted. Cheers Mud

Anyone been able to source a torque wrench adapter to use on the 13mm nuts on the side of the TTR cylinder head please? I bought one of these but it actually has 12mm and 14mm ends and not 12mm and 13mm as it says in the heading As an alternative would it be possible to fit a 12m or 14mm nut in place of the origin...

Fairly new to TTR forum, and just wondered what the main differences are between the 3 models. I gather the raid has a larger petrol tank, but other than that, what else is there? Thanks

I stripped the carb and cleaned/ retuned it plus new plug and vac out the plug hole and clean the cylinder plug seat as the engine was missin...

I have been in email conversation with Peter Gray of Wilderness Wheels Morocco. They run a small fleet of blue TTRs alongside their KTM 450 EXCs. Peter says they find the TTR to be a totally competent off road bike in Morocco and is his preference over the KTMs for a ride over the mountains. He has passe...

Wollongong lies on the narrow coastal strip between the Illawarra Escarpment and the Pacific Ocean, 82 kilometres south of Sydney. I have owned my TTR for near 13 years now purchasing it new in 2000 but I have n...

Fellow TTR riders - This may be of assistance to you ...It is possible to remove and refit the spark plug without having to remove the petrol tank.Firstly, as mentioned by somebody else in the forum I used a smaller soft pipe gaffer taped onto my vacuum cleaner hose to suck out the dried mud and stones...

To see the listing click HERE I know nothing of the bike, the seller, or anything that can't be read in the advert. I do know that the seller says the sp...

Hey guys my new front sprocket that i put on is making a noise, i read that if i greas it and the chin it will go away(have not done that yet).

As above, I don't use her that often so I figure the foot option would be a useful backup. Any ideas? Cheers Mud

I have a 2004 ttr250 There is a K&N filter fitted and a motad exhaust fitted. Its worth noting my ttr stuttered at high revs,so I took out the uprated jets and replaced them with the original jets, the bike still pulls clean but does not stutter at high rpm anymore. Dave.

Sadly due to the family and a new toy I am letting my TTR go. I have hung on to it for the last 10 months thinking I may get back to riding it more than once a month and then only on roads, but no so it has to go. Great runner was used for a daily 6.6 mile round commute until new toy arrived. MOT until July Some se...

My 2004 originals are knackered. At 60 mph they self fold inwards I've seen small diamond shaped ones, maybe on here, but so far 'searching' for them hasn't been successful. What I'm after is something with a slightly wider span than originals, but less affected by wind when on the road. Any ideas folk...
