Hello All, Just signed up to the forum so thought I'd say hello. I have been into bikes for approx 35yrs and am fancying a TTR for a bit of trail riding and as a daily hack for work (it will allow me to take a few short cuts!). The TTR appeals to me as it's electric start and appears to be faily gentle and light...

Hi, I've seen some scary looking stuff posted on some other forums of LARGE bits of engine caught in sump screens which made me wonder if TTR even have one, in addition to the filter? Did the requisite oil/filter change when I got the bike but you never know how it may have been looked after. Happy Holida...
Has anyone used aftermarket front fork boots. Like the ones on ebay. fittment issues ??. Are they any good or best to stick with genuine nuless they are over priced..
I've just completed a gearbox upgrade on my TTR. Although I enjoy using all six of the standard gears I found the choice of ratios a tad limiting. To make riding more interesting I looked into the possibility of a gearbox upgrade. I think my choice is quite an accomplishment. Afte...
Had a search but can't find the answer. What size fuse should be in a Raid? It has 20A in the holder but the spare is a 15A? Also the afermarket headlamp wires have fused themselves together. If anyone has a yam raid headlamp for sale let me know. Cheers Spud.
My 93 TTR has always been able to start on the button whilst in gear. Then last week I decided as a bit of routine maintenance to spray wd40 in every electrical connector I could find. Now the bike only starts if you put it into neutral. What is the norm on these bikes? I've either unwittingly repaired i...
I've just dared to venture out this afternoon following what seems like weeks of rain and floods. The lanes have changed dramatically in the interim, so beware. What were comparatively easy, pleasing trails are now flooded, sludgy, grooved, stepped and holed in the extreme. If anyone isn't carefu...
only happens when bike is idling for long periods but some times only happened 2 twice that it has backfired through carb once it cut and started straight back up and other day it did it after it be raining heavenly and heared a pop on airbox while riding didn't cut just a slight hesitation, not sure what i...
After Nic's please for pics to show how the TTR goes back together, I thought it might be useful to share some pics of a dead standard bike. I have printed and laminated a couple of these and keep them in the garage to help with rebuilds. I will add more pics as I find them. Brian
2006 TTR250.. Approx 10,000 k's.. This thing sat for a long time after blowing a clutch.. Finally got it started and huge amounts of white smoke came out of it. Mind you it had been cranked alot and about half a can of Start You Bastard in the carby.. Anyway it now starts 1st or 2nd go with kick and nearly eve...
Hi All... My name is Marty and I live in Brisbane Australia.. Have not been back on a bike for about 22 years. Was back when there were places to ride locally.. Always liked the TTR's all the way from the late 80's.. Was looking for a bit of a project and picked up a 2006 TTR250 that has spent all it's life as a t...
I have just finished peeling the spuds and preparing the sprouts for tomorrow's family dinner and it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! The table is laid with festive decorations and crackers so maybe we can have a lay in tomorrow morning before it all kicks off. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Y...
The TTR and my eldest lads KTM 250 EXC, both lads went out and had a great time getting very muddy, I have a bit of work to do on the Yam after a tree jumped out at Matt (so he says) LOL
Hello to all you TTRfans out there, I have just re-joined the forum.. My bike is still in bits & waiting for parts to arrive. I do have a pic though Oh no some say he's back lol .................... Jarrah.
Think I must have missed something over the last couple of days leading up to jarrah depart from the forum but I would just like to say its a shame he has left the forum after all the work he has put in over the last few months, I am sure there will be a few people on here that will wish him all the best with his ttr...
Very well done dude! And here I thought I was anal lol.... Don't make me strip my bike back down again to start painting stuff! On another note, I'm thinking a valve job might be in my near future. Had a lot of carbon deposits on the intake side. I dosed it the valves with seafoam and let it soak, then scrubbe...
Just rebuilt engine. reson bent exhast valves. fitted new piston rings, cam chain and sprockets, clean the carb Bought the bike cheap because it did not run. its running now but backfires and wont idel. is it up or down on the air screw to make it richer?
Hi all,
I have been presented with the problem of having to take both a van and the TTR home for Christmas.
I can't do the trailer bit because I have no space or tow ball and I have found an awesome tow ball rack that will carry a dirt bike but again no tow ball.
Long story short I have measured up and if I r...
I am looking for the airbox snorkel for my 1995 ttr, I am assuming they are the same on all models, there should be plenty if these laid under people's benches! -- Edited by domski1 on Friday 21st of December 2012 08:51:54 PM
Greetings all, I thought I would post my build as suggested by Jarrah. I picked up a 04 ttr250 from a old farmer up here in ND, USA. It was the first one I've ever seen for sale in this area and thought I'd snap it up. Here's what I started with, minus the seat.
Is this it? CLICKY LINK THING Mmm, can't get link to work normally. Highlight it and right click - open link.
