I am guilty (and I am not alone in this!) of forgetting to cancel my indicators on trail rides and this causes concern amongst following riders for some reason Anyways up, I bought one of those 12v buzzers from Maplins about 18 months ago and have only just got around to fitting it this morning. With...
The new addition to the family arrived last week, a bouncing baby Tenere.. Havent got a picture next to the TTR as the little mule keeps me company down at my workshop, but here is a sneak peek of my new baby... And how it looked last Saturday And the Video evidence... hehehe http://www.youtube.com/wa...
It's been pretty cold lately and while out the other day my face nearly froze off so decided it was time for a full face helmet so got one of these, wasn't intending to spend this much but it fit so comfortably I couldn't say no A Thor Force II Carbon Fibre, $300au, last years model, same as this years, diffe...
G'day all Thought I'd pop in and say hello. I've been visiting on and off for the last six or so months, but haven't registered until now. The info is great, so thank you. Below is a pic of my '09 TTR250. I'm a beginner rider and bought the TTR with 1500km on it about six months ago. The only mod it has as far as I...

We all make mistakes but I seem to make more than most people I bought a batch of cylinder base O rings (Yamaha part number 93210-78544) when I really wanted valve stem oil seals So, if you would like one of these then I am selling them at £5 each inc 2nd Class post. Always useful to keep in your spares box!...
Is there anyone that fancies a bit of a tootle in and around Derbyshire next Tuesday (the 10th) afternoon? I've not organised a ride out before, but after having a PM from a lurker, I realised that there might be others in the same boat as me, so nothing ventured, nothing gained. It'll be steady and nothi...
In very good all round condition. Some scratches but in better order than most I have seen! I sold the hub to an owner who is hoping Talon will build him a new wheel around it so am left with the rim to sell. Ideal if you are looking to build a new wheel yourself as the rim can be powder coated whatever colour y...
I actually remembered to take a couple of snaps whilst out on yesterdays tootle... As you can see, I'm getting into this posting pictures lark... -- Edited by SHarper on Monday 2nd of July 2012 04:23:56 PM
just to let you all know i have just got the ttr back for the second time a bit beaten up but all fixable ie side panel on exhaust side, ignition, headlight, stand, chain guard, fork gaitors, fuel cap and hand guards. so all in all not to bad even had oil in it still and started on the button!! takes a lot to ki...
I am having a bit of a tidy up and this exhaust has been sitting in the corner for too long and needs to be used! The can itself is in good condition although it has some marks from use and repositioning of the clamp. It would probably fit other bikes. The front pipe has seen better days and is a bit thin in plac...
Hi all, just testing the water (as I watch something on ebay!!- don't tell the wife) Any interest in a Raid out there at the moment? Can post more details and piccies if want (will need to dig out the old paperwork) But it is taxed and tested and overall good condition. has done more road than off road work a...
I have rebuilt linkage and rear absorber bearings in my 96 OE with all balls linkage kit and after putting it all together I have found that there is still a significant swingarm vertical play. I have realized that collars, that come with all balls kit (marked 27, 28, 29 on swingarm diagram from this si...
Nah then, eyup here are some piccies from off of my phone, sorry it's taken so long to get them here, but hey ho.... Houndkirk Moor Totley Mam Tor Dead Sheep Hill -- Edited by SHarper on Friday 29th of June 2012 06:24:59 AM
An early morning call and Mr TTR said that he was about to venture forth with Bro., did I want to go? Well, since the recent winds had blown themselves out and since the rain had stopped horsing down, I thought "Why not?" I arrived at TTR Towers on the dot and Mr TTR was readying. Young Bro. was su...
I replaced the linkage bearings on my TTR yesterday and, having dug through my spares box, decided that I don't need so many spare relay and link arms! So I spent a grimy day today pressing out all the old bearings and cleaning up the arms. Out of 8 relay arms that I "processed" there wasn't one...
Hey, I'm struggling to jet my 1995 250 Raid. It has an FMF powercore 4 exhaust, and has had the top of the snorkel cut off. Can anyone advise on a good pair of jets for this setup?
I am selling my kouba lowering link, it's almost immaculate just one small bit of one seal is folded but it still seals fine and all bearings are in excelent condition. I'm looking for £70 plus postage or collect for free from near Stanstead airport UK.
Cheers

If anyone fancies a day out in Shropshire let me know. We have some great lanes here, mostly easier riding through some great, largely agricultural scenery. Would suit those that haven't done much green lane or trail riding.
Having just gotten my TTR, I am going through repairing the odds & ends that are damaged or broken, one of which was the headlight/plate. It had a broken tab on one side, presumably from a spill & was bouncing around pretty good when I got it. Instead of repairing the one tab, I decided to remove t...
Well I thought my bike was running rich as the spark plug has a sooty black appearance. ( not shinny black) However I read that if ur exhaust makes a popping sound it's lean.. My exhaust makes this on deseleration. ( i always thought this was maybe a bit of extra fuel burning). Any ideas?? The exhaust is an...
I have just re-assemblyed my TTR raid, after replacing the piston rings. When replacing the cam shafts, as soon as I tighten up the bolts the cam shafts become too tight to turn by hand. Even if I just do the bolts up hand tight they are really stiff. Is this normal? I have completely re-assembled the eng...
