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...

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...

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
