Hi All, Having had no problems with starting for the first few months my 2004 TTR 250 is now a reluctant starter. If I start on choke then doesn't like to be left on it for anything more than a minute before cutting out. Today was made worse because I had flat battery and had to kick start it. After sever...
It is with regret that I am forced to list my Yamaha TTR 250 for sale. It has been sat in my garage for a couple of years now with only occasional use to maintain it. This is due to two unfortunate injurys in August 2011 and August 2012 which have left me unfit to ride a bike for the forseeable future. This i...
I was out riding dirt about a week ago and I took a hill a little too steep for me. My boot slipped off the edge of the hill (small trail) and I tumbled down the edge, dropping the bike. I was fine but when I lifted my bike back upright I noticed that the gear shift lever had broken (right at the point where the le...
Hello... Ive just bought a TTR Open Enduro R reg that has been sat in a garage for 4 years. Bit tatty in places but a little bit of work and it will look fine. The engine runs sweet and everything works perfectly so a bonus. Fixed the front brake and new oil etc so ready fot its MOT next week. I cant wait to go ou...
Been a hell of a day I've been trying to bleed my brakes on the Kawasaki zzr600 and no matter how much new fluid we have put through its still not biting, just remaining really spongy and not stopping the bike at all, it has got new seals and fluid and still refuses to bleed, any ideas and too top it all off fo...
See here Aplologies for the short notice The Devon TRF Group run trail riding events. They are very much like a trail ride with lots of tea drinking and bumping of gums. This is absolutely not a competitive event. Regarding the difficulty you will find nothing that you would not find on an average rid...
There's a decent TTR on offer at £1400 via Gumtree It's been well looked after and modded. It currently lives in Cambridge. There is a video on the Gumtree site which shows how readily it starts - very cold, frosty weather too. Martyn
Not been out for ages so a group of us arranged a nice easy ride over Salter Fell a 4 to 5 mile track 1000 ft asl. Its a good steady ride but today there were frequent snow drifts/gullys that were difficult to get the bikes through due to the depth of the snow, so it was not as easy ride as first thought. A...
Hello everyone, I just bought a 1993 TTR250 Open Enduro a couple of weeks ago after pining for one for nearly a year, the best desicion I ever made. 70MPG, my Honda Varadero 125 did 75mpg, enough power to give me an adrenaline rush when I open it up in fourth, I can't think of anything better than it. I was...
Hi, new to the forum and I have managed to get a puncture on the rear tyre.
Problem seems to be removing the rear axle, I have removed the axle nut and placed a piece of wood over the axle and try to drift it out with a hammer but up to now no signs of moving any ideas would be appreciated to get the axle out....
Hi fellow TTR-ers, Possibly a stupid question, but what are the signs of petrol tap failure? After I've parked her up, I never turn off the petrol on my 4GY and it's usually fine... til last week when she peed petrol all over the floor and seems to have filled the sump with petrol too :-/ Do I need to rebui...

Rare opportunity to buy a brand new genuine Yamaha silencer still with its original packing. In the UK these exhausts cost £279.13 with a 2-3 weeks delivery and the customer can't cancel once ordered.This mint example is selling for only £215 plus carriage (probably about £10 in the UK). PM me if y...
Quick look at the bottom off the chain slider and appeared like it was wearing through dangerously close to swing arm. Manaaged to remove it for a closer inspection, fortunatly it had not yet marked the swinging arm. New one required. Brian are these available as your site appears to direct me to a diff...

I have a bent front brake disc on my 2007 blue TTR250. Does anyone know if a front disc from a '99 will fit? Have a lead on one for cheap. thanks, Chris
A batch of racks were made especially for Totally TTRs and sold very quickly. This example was bought by an owner who subsequently found his American import TTR did not have any of the require mounting brackets so we took it back. The powder coating has suffered some minor damage in its various voyages...

hi guys. Recently I have observed oil leak from a bolt (see pic.), although it is tightly screwed. I guess this bolt is for the oil pressure. Any ideas what to do? Have anyone else the same problem? Thanks
So i'm still trying to fix my friend's ttr 250 after it sat for 2 years outside. Before that the bike ran fine so I decided to tear down the carb to find it filthy. After a thorough cleaning with solvent and compressed air, I replaced the float valvle assembly before re-assembling the carb. I charged u...
Hi all, The top and bottom mounting points of the rear shock use spherical bearings. How do you grease these? The Yamaha workshop manual says that the linkage bearings are polylube type that never need regreasing. Does this include the shock mounting spherical bolts? Is this still true after eight y...
I have heard of at least three instances from owners where they had stripped and re-assembled their cylinder heads only to find that, when the camshaft journal caps had been torqued down, the camshafts were so tight they wouldn't turn. No obvious reason could be seen or found and the culprit is usuall...
