Hello to all you TTR250 fans out there, I am tossing up whether or not to include a full re-built of my carby into my 1999 model TT250-RLC Build ''Rebuild started'' thread or just make a separate thread? I thought i would ask the veiw...
I came across a YZ 250 with a blown engine. I can get it for $500. Does anyone know if the TTR 250 motor would fit. I'm thinking the TTR engine reliability + the YZ suspension (with the aliminum frame - 40-50lbs lighter) would be a great bike. Anyone know if it will work. Brian your thoughts would be appr...

I have been looking through the parts diagrams for my '04 US-spec TTR & am unable to find the tool kit (mentioned in the AU manual I have) which leads me to belive that the bikes didn't come with a kit as they were not sold as street-legal machines here. But I would like to carry some tools & since I s...

Are the exhausts for the earlier white bikes the same as those fitted to the later blue bikes? I have a 2002 bike which has a non standard silencer which is annoyingly loud on the tarmac between the lanes and just want to know which ones I can look out for on ebay. I know they don`t come up very often. I may hav...
I was just looking at Matteo's (wonder where he's gone?) posts from earlier in the spring about fitting a WR exhaust on his TTR as I came across one myself pretty cheap. Anyway, as I am following the Mikuni thread, etc. the exhaust swap made me wonder if anyone has tried a WR carburetor on a TTR? The stock c...
Fmf q4 paid £260 can't get my bike to run tidy with it on . It's not the exhaust it's the bike got a splutter and fmf makes it a lot worse so selling it . A lot lighter than stock exhaust lovely sound not to loud and looks really good . All the fittings and jets for carb. Offers ?

I seem to spend a lot of time waiting for work to be done by tradesmen which is delaying my other projects so, being a gluton for punishment, I thought I would see what I could do with this Raid: I have the cylinder head and other bits in boxes but there are a few bonuses - kickstart, decompressor (but missin...

Steve Harcus (previous TTR owner and member of this forum) had organised a short Saturday morning run and invited me along at our monthly TRF meeting.The weather forecast looked horrendous and, being a fair weather rider, I had prepared my excuses but, after a bit of email bullying from Steve, I deci...
Ok. This is what happened. I got the TTR home. Took a short test ride. Did not have patience to warm up properly. Stalled the engine couple of times. Plug fouled and the engine refused to start. Rolled to garage. I replaced the plug. Good spark. Still wont start. Puffs and spits to carb. Removed airbox. C...
F'n new guy here. Just picked up a 2000 TTR 250 for $450. The carb hasn't been cleaned and the bike sat for 2 years. Already busted the main jet, all varnished up. Gots to find a way to get it cleaned and back together. The only other Yamaha in the garage are a FJR, 1979 YZ80, 3 Hondas, and a moped.

Hi guys. I've been lurking around here for a while, trying to make a decision which dual purpose bike to buy I think I'm going to buy a brandnew one, because I don't know too much about engines, and I didn't feel comfortable with the people I rang up who are selling their bikes. I don't want a bike that's b...
Hi all, I'm looking at taking up greenlaning and I'm looking for a TTR 250. I've been riding bikes for over 30 years but I'm new to dirt bikes. Would prefer a bike that's been we'll looked after but would consider something that needs work. I'm looking for a post Y2K blue bike and I' m in the north east of Eng...
