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 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...

Hi, I am new to the TTR as I just bought a 99 TTR-250 Blue enduro a couple months ago im looking into fixing it up. I would like some opinions on what i should look at for replacments, small stuff. The bike works fine for now. First off ill be changing the chain and sprockets, i think ill be going 13/51-52. As f...
Hi just looking for confirmation from anyone in the know. Changing out my front drive sprocket, am I right in thinking its a left-handed thread? So turning it in a clockwise direction will undo it? Strangely enough I can't find confirmation in the yamaha workshop manual or the handbook or remember fr...
Hello all. I am trying to figure out what jets to get for my bike. The only mod done to the bike is an UNI air filter. I need a different pilot jet because it starves for fuel at idle to 1/8 throttle, however after 1/8 throttel the bike runs just fine. I am trying to find jets according to THIS topic. I am usin...
After my 1st carb removal and strip I'm pleased to report things are improved greatly. It's been so long waiting on non cojone freezing weather that I can't find my original post describing what I found. Briefly, some of the holes in the 'shield' round the needle were blocked possibly by dirt gettin...

Hi,I am currently riding my TTR250 named Shiva to Japan. I have already done the first 1000 miles on it and currently is in Sintra, Portugal. This information from this site was really helpful when I was prepping the bike for the trip. Though to be honest TTR250 is so good that it doesn't require much pre...
I have run out of spare speedo pickups for repairing. Most customers buy the pickups outright rather than take the exchange offer and therefore don't send back a unit for repair. If you have a duff sender unit surplus to requirements then I am happy to pay £12 (to include your postage) for one that has a s...
