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...

Hi everyone,
Having dived through all the forum topics i can find on aftermarket exhausts, i am now excuse the pun, exhausted.
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...

For you TTR riders in the US & Canada: My bike had some pretty tweaked plastic when I got it & while ordering a few things for Motorcycle Superstore, I took a chance on a Polisport fender for a Gas Gas FSE 450, (#351008) in blue, that they are closing out. Not much of a chance really since they are on...

Not something you come across every day! A complete kit for your TTR250 - all you need to add is the 20cc NOS bottle - available from the US. I have not seen these kits sold in the UK but they seem common in the States but usually big car kits. There is one advertised for the TTR here which looks pretty much t...
Hi everybody, here are some pictures of my recent trip to south lebanon on my ttr along with a friend on his xr. The ttr outperformed the xr everywhere from acceleration to top speed and offroading, I am not saying this because I have a ttr but we just tried them side by side and the ttr was the winner. Here...
