Hello all. My 1997 Open Enduro has developed an annoying problem, which is that I cannot select neutral while the engine is running. In all other respects, the gearbox seems fine. Can anyone suggest what the problem might be? Thanks. David

I have for sale a set of Michelin Trial Competiton tube type tyres which are suitable for the TTR, they came off my '94 Raid (and other bikes obviously).

Just picked up a 2002 TTR225 with just over 900 miles on it. Found a good deal on the TTR, which will serve many purposes. Primarily it will be a teacher bike. That is, it will give us a bike that I can take off-road to get reacquainted with the dirt after many years of straight street riding. It will give us...

Hi all, My bike says 3.00-21 front - which equals 80/100 21" but the back is a 4.60-18 - what should I be fitting a 110/100-18" or 120/80-18"? What do most older TTR riders fit? I'm looking for road legal but knobbly for getting muddy (Such as Michelin AC10). I've done some searchin...
I just purchased a very lightly used 2002 TTR. My guess is less than 500 mi and most likely sat in barn in Colorado for many years. I have already had to rebuild/clean carb - seems to be running fine now. Also made it street legal for AZ. I may start working on unkorking the thing now. Thanks for all the grea...

Had to take the bike in for its MOT on Friday. On the way back I thought I would have a detour to a little beach at Slaggan Bay. The track is a public highway, so ok to ride on The track is in very good condition, this is about as bad as it gets. At the end of the track is the no deserted crofting township of Slag...
Hi, Just bought a new TTR250 and i have no idea what a bike is or how to ride one. So time to learn! i hope i can get alot of help here. Fist thing im going to have to do is lower it to suit me. can anyone help?
Here's the new rack pictures, still painted in Red Oxide primer, I may leave it that way. I decided to use flat bar and square tube as it gives much more surface area for strong welds, also that's what I had hanging around in just the right sizes I used the 3mm flat here because I ran out of the 5mm flat Bette...
after reading the Africa and back post it prompted me to ask if anyone has a template for and knows how to fit a wind shield to the TTR I think a small screen would be good to deflect most of the wind and weather I bet I will have to design and build one myself, there is a serious lack of these types of things for t...

Can anyone tell me, if the exhausts from other yamaha models will fit to the TTR 250 (1993 OE model), as frankly i dont want to import one from the states or OZ and no one over h...
So the headlamp on the Raid seems quite rare. I've had melting wires issues with the aftermarket one on mine so looked for a new one. Having taken it off I reconised the plug as the same on my 350LC. Maybe a lot of yams have this plug? So I bought a copy 350lc headlight from Busters for £30. After a bit of demel...
