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...
White plastic tank in good condition 22 Litres capacity Selling cheap as i have now sold my TTR £200 -- Edited by Phil Trueman on Wednesday 23rd of January 2013 07:05:46 PM
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
Finally had the engine sealed up today and got to fitting the clutch cable. and check the clutch. Holy Cow but it is stiff / heavy compared to my kxf250 and crf250x. The clutch has been changed at some point as the nuts had a few marks on them and the basket has very little wear.I am thinking someone has fit...
I have a 93 OE with a raid tank so will either take a Raid seat to match the tank, or a sound, leak free OE tank to match the current seat on the bike. Anyone got either of these they would be willing to sell on? cheers Ian

I have had one of those days where I have made a catalogue of apprentice errors on an engine rebuild making a few hours work take a whole day a) dropped a gudgeon pin circlip into the sump whilst fitting a new piston. The first time since I remember that I didn't stuff a rag under the piston to prevent such a...
Hey all, This may be one for Brian or someone that has larger than standard jets installed. My question is as the topic suggests.....on a blue plastic tanked model TTR, does your breather breath properly as mine does not seem to even though i have made sure it is right. Yes i have taken the three sc...
Hi, I just joined the TTR 'world'. I've previously only owned an Yamaha once (S10 - XTZ750). Just bought (last week) an 1993-4 TT250R OE in pretty bad condition and I started repairs before I can hardly test ride the machine. I hope with your help I'll able to restore and repair this TTR in no time (alrea...

I've been seeing some lightweight custom builds out there on the internet & wondered what the engine/trans of our TTRs weighed in at, so I thought I'd ask if anyone knows? I've also wondered about the greater weight of the TTR vs. the YZ or WR seeing as how they have the whole water-cooled system tha...
Someone pointed me to this site from the Thumpertalk forum. New TTR250 owner, just bought a 2002 last Saturday and getting it in order. I'll make my way around the site to find the answers to some questions that the owner's manual didn't cover too well. Looking forward to some fun times on this bike... I...
Hullo all. I'm now in my ninth year of TTR250 ownership. My poor old bike has 64,000km on the clock, but has really covered about 67k and about 4,000hrs. This is due to the fact that it is a bike used almost solely for work in the far north pastoral area of my state. My bike is by no means a high-mileage exam...

I had a question about fitting new friction plates and the easiset way to answer it was to do a pictorial guide. I had to plagiarise an existing guide and use library pics as I am not due to renew any clutch plates soon so it might be missing bits. I would welcome experienced owners to have a look at the guide...
I had an email from Sean Perkins who has just fitted a few farkles (see PS) to his TTR inc. a blue plastic tank we sourced for him. Here is his email and pics. I think the tank suits the OE very well! The tank bracket was a simple bit of steel bent to the right width for the tank mounts that came off a TTR that I bro...
Hey all just thought i'd upload this article on the qld floods. It is pretty usual but people can see what we endure each year.

Hello everyone, This topic will be a little controversial but i'm hoping everyone can help. I am interested in getting to the bottom of how some people can be running jets as small as #137 main jet & #48 pilot. I have never been able to understand this fully. For example:...
