I realise I am looking for the proverbial rocking horse droppings but I gather here is as good as anywhere to start looking. Hoping to only spend around £1300-£1500 ish for the right bike, preferably with MOT, tax not as important and it doesn't have to be a paddock pony, though it does have to be reliabl...
Hi all, I was very pleased to learn through this site that it is possible to fit suspension linkage bolts and nipples from the earlier models to a blue tank model in order to be able to use a grease gun to grease the linkages.However, when I looked at the parts diagram for an earlier (White) model via the li...
This link was recently bought from a forum member but does not give the result for my requirements. It is in excellent condition with only a minimal defect to one seal but as there is a grease nipple installed,there is no fear of any substantial ingress. PM me for price and pics if required.

See here - a fairly positive review! Why should you be interested in the report I hear you ask? Well, there are a few comparisons to the test rider's companion's TTR325 Robin Webb's 325 (or 315 to be accurate) uses the same Thumper conversion as I have done and is getting big mileage on it with no mecha...

Hi All, welcome from sunny Cheshire, After many years deliberating I am finally hoping this year to cut my teeth in the world of green laning and fancy a TTR250 OE as my first steed. I am immersing myself in the forum and associated pages to learn as much as possible but will probably be on here with a list o...

Hello again. My 'Blue tank' model TTR came to me with 14 - 44 gearing and a 106 link chain. I want to lower the gearing while ideally using the current chain, which is in good condition. I read on this site that 13 - 48 fits well with the standard 108 link chain. But I also read that 14-44 was standard gearing a...
Mrs Cubber decided she needed some shopping therapy so disappeared early mid morning for the Topsham area of Devon and Dart's Farm. I decided that I needed some TTR therapy so donned my boots and waterproofs (even put my Sealskinz socks on for their first try) and off we went. It was decidedly chilly bu...

After a 40 year gap I'm back on motorbikes, I lived bikes for about 10 yrs until I got married first time in 1975. before that I used to make up trail bikes and mainly ride in wales, also I entered the Exeter trial twice. My last trail bike was a Bultaco Matador, which I rode up Snowdon one easter - I would get...
It's been years since I rode off road and forgot, the lower limit for tyres running without tyre clamps, and typical pressures with clamps for trail riding using AC10's? Also with trail riding being on/off road, what sort of pressures do you use? I often ride out 30 miles to the trail meet, so is it a goo...
Hi All, Just wondering what the front indicators on the OE fit on to? I understand the blue models have brackets for them, is this the same for the OE? Has anyone got a picture they could post up please. Thanks Ian
