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 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...

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.

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.

I am off on Sunday for a play down the lanes and really needed a decent sump and engine protection so bought the TTR bash plate Brian supplies. Most bash plates I have fitted need some sort of modification or d...
This weeks MCN is worth a look. They took four 250cc trail bikes, to Eastern Europe and back, one of which was a TTR that all the testers liked and found nothing with it to dislike. Worth reading. Peter
