I have a 98 OE model with a cracked generator cover. Before I furbish Brian with my hard earned does anyone have one sat around or even a cheap complete ish engine? I realise this may be like searching for rocking horse droppings. Please call 07973 796340 if you can help Many thanks Stuart
Hi every one I'm Mick from Morecambe, just put a deposit on a a Yam ttr open eduro trail bike 1993 with 8,000 miles on the clock, Ive not seen the bike but from photos and what the owner told me its a good clean bike and runs like it should, the only thing worrying me is am I going to struggle with only having a 3...
So my mate has a white TTR250 which is in need of some TLC. The sprag was slipping so we decided to strip her down to fix it up. When trying to remove the flywheel I noticed the crank bearing had play in it and the flywheel can move up and down a fraction. Once finally removed (pain in the ass) we can see that the...
Hi everyone, I know that this is a 250 forum but I can't think of anywhere else to advertise these. what I have is complete top end including head, barrell, cam and piston complete clutch basket and plates, complete gearbox, flywheel, stator, all casings and the old crank with seized bearing. these wh...
I was thinking about this the other day when looking at how some cars are taxed less than my 250cc motorcycle - why should we pay any VED at all? If you agree then sign the petition here and spread it around - http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/36449 Brian
As the brake pedal support thread fitting has been torn out of the frame by previous owner I need to weld in a new 8mm threaded support. (I have that information thanks to a previous reply). What I would like to know is: Does the threaded support fit flush with the frame or protude a liitle. If it protudes b...
Hey guys, i'm writting from Greece and i'm really excited to join the forum! 1)I bought a '94 ttr 4 months ago which appears to need a pretty good maintenance to work properly but the biggest problem seems to be the front brakes The previous owner had installed a yamaha fazer front master cylinder which...
I thought I would share some pictures & vids with other owners from a recent trail ride. This is one of the easier trails but still has some technical sections to catch you out. The first time I rode this trail I was going too fast into a tight corner, that came up all of a sudden. I hit a BIG rock t...
I found the plastic gastank as the only solution for off road/enduro usage. I was lucky to get one from a SUZUKI DR350. It's cheap and it fit's easily with only a few and also cheap mod's. The result is better than you can imagine. Here you can also see my selfmade alu exhaust pipe and the wavy brake disk rot...
It's THAT time of year again for my TTR. Every year, in the UK, a vehicle has to be licenced (road fund) and if over 2 years 11 months and 30 days old it will need an MoT certificate. Together with insurance it all adds up! In order that my bike stands a reasonable chance of securing an MoT certi...
Hello all, I have got my bike jetted in and it runs great, but I can't help but to think of this tick. There is a slight tick audable from the motor at high RPM's, is this normal or should my valves be adjusted? I would make a video but i lost my transfer cord and i don't think the recorder would pick up the noise...
Hi guys! I'm from Santiago de Chile and I just got a TTR 250 2012. I'm just crazy about it, it's really awesome. Well I have a couple of questions: - The guy that sell it to me lost the Owners Manual, anybody knows a web site where I can find it? - Some lights are getting down: The break light (back of the bike) i...
Just found this forum which I am sure will be useful for tips and guidance formy 1993 TTR 250 Raid which I bought last September and finally managed to transport here to Idilevo in Bulgaria where I have a house. In the winter I come back to the UK and I live not far from Stratford-upon-Avon but summers are s...
I look forward to communicating with forum members. I have a 2009 TT250R that looks more like 20 years old than just 4 as it came from an outback farm where it was a true workhorse but not loved. I will resurect it with your help.
Does anyone have a broken speedo that could be stripped for parts?? Mine works but does not have the parts that sit between the A/B buttons to make contact with the circuit board. Many thanks STuart 07973 796340
Hi everyone! I am a fan of ttr 250 and is nice to find this forum and join you! I am riding a ttr 250 raid which looked like this at first: and now is transformed to a more "adventure" style: The extra parts come from a KTM 640 adventure. Here are some photos of a recent ride on mountain Chortiatis l...
I start up the bike, say, to take it out for a quick spin, when I pull the brake lever the back brake light does not turn on. When I press the brake pedal, still no luck. The back light must be dead then, right? Can a simple bulb replacement be done, What will I need? The ironic part is that I have another rear fe...
Hi my bike has been running lean,bog standard, done all usual checks, stripped carb blew with air line, rubbers fine,no exhaust leakage, new plug,when I removed the down pipe I noticed the valve stems are covered in a white powder.don't know when the clearences were last checked? my bike has 29000 k...
Anyone know if this fits the White model? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200810368149 Japanese so should be quality plus with import duty and VAT it only comes in at £75 or so.
Hi all I've got a plastic tank 2005 model that I need to change the right-hand fork on. Will the forks off any model of TTR250 be OK? Thanks Mark (Lama)
The Devon TRF Group held a new event at the weekend, the Axe to Exe (A2E), which was 2-day of guided trail riding in the East Devon area offered to TRF members nationwide. My brother Trev and I did some bike fettling on the previous Friday and then did a short trail ride. We stopped for occasional refresh...
Hi all, Thanks very much for the info on the flywheel puller. I finally got that off and went to replace the sprag clutch. Both idler gears and all bearings looked good. No broken teeth or anything, but after I got everything back together I tried to start it and got a really loud clunking sound. Now it do...
The TTR has been great except a couple of things I found which is no big deal but needed fixing. I cleaned the carb checked the cables and it still decided every so often to rev high even with the throttle closed and the slide seated properly. After inspection I have a split inlet rubber so I suspect thats t...
