Hi all Can anyone tell me what this thing is, I pulled it appart the other day and it was full of water and the various parts were all full of sludge, so it's all clean now but what does it do and is it even needed ? Can't I just connect the breather pipe from the head streight to the airbox ? Pic Thanks Steve
Hi all, i did a big ride at wkend and on cleaning bike up after had real problems getting dirt/stones /grass and all the other stuff out from behind the plastic cover that holds the electronic reader for the speedo, the speedo doesn't work any way and i don't need it. After removing it to clean around fro...

I've just been trying to remove my acerbis handguards, the expander bolt thing inside the bars and try as I may I cannot get them to budge! Am I just being dozy and missing something obvious?? Cheers
Do all TTR's run underwater or am I just lucky? I ask because I was laning yesterday with a couple of friends and during several long water crossings where my bum was underwater my TTR never missed a beat (thank goodness!) but both the XLR 600 and MT350 cut out several times. Now I've not done any special p...

Hi guys, I've got an '01 TTR250 that's been converted for street use here in the US. I lost my low beam a while ago and went searching for a new bulb. The bulb in there is a "KOITO 35w/36.5w Halogen" and its 30 freakin dollars to replace. The bulb doesn't cross reference with anything, but an H...
Got a few mates with various bikes and levels of experience every 2nd weekend or so ( when i finaly get my bike back together )So if anyone is interested in any level shoot me a MSG the more the merrier. Although I'm not sure how many of you guys are in Melbourne.
What is the castle like structure on the top of the manifold?. Can i remove it to make a bit more room when removing the carb? ie push the manifold back into the airbox. Must say looks a bit permanent.
Hi, I am a month into owning a ttr 250 93/94, my first bike, loving it and is great for NZ riding. I am taking part in a trail ride on Saturday, which specifies you have to have a sprk arrester, do i have one on already? if so where is it. i have down loaded the manuel online, which states one but is probably for a...
Hi All, Graduated to a TTR from a Serow about 8 months ago. Generally bimbling around my local (Northants, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire) lanes on weekdays throughout the year. (Can't ride at weekends normally which rules out local TRF runs unfortunately) Compan...
I was going to make some new stickers for the TTR, my usual job is as a signwriter so easy enough to make some new ones but to save time and effort does anyone have any original templates, preferably as PDF or EPS vector files, would be very helpful. If no one has any, is anyone interested in a set (the setup f...
Well decided to check my swing arm and all the linkages and give them a regreace. I havnt had a look at them since I got the bike a year ago...... Well let's just say the idiot who had the bike before me hasn't looked at them since the bike was made in 2000. Soo looks like anouther expensive rebuild. Some of th...
Hi all, just picked up my Raid yesturday and doesn't seem to be a great deal of oil in it, How much should I see through the sight window on LHS of the engine? I don't see to have a dipstick (told you I'm new to this machine) so I'm guessing the window gives you all the info you need. I'm looking to do an oil and fi...
Have a 1995 OE, have recently noticed that if I 'snap' the trottle open quickly (with the bike standing still & warmed up), the engine splutters & sometimes dies. If I open the trottle normally, every thing is ok, with the engine revving with no issues. This issue is not apparent when riding an...
I am just about ready for another rear tyre - any suggestions on what would last the longest? Would a trials tyre last any longer, such as a MT43? I typically ride 30 miles on road to the Peaks and it is wearing the rear down at an alarming rate....

Can anyone enlighten me on what plates to fit to a 95 raid please, and does anyone know if they are compatible with any other bikes as finding parts for this bike out here is like looking for rocking horse s..t Cheers Daz
Hi, I have been riding roads bikes for 19-years and the TTR-250 is my first ever off-road experience. I bought it back in January, immidtaely joined the TRF and apart from a few local trails and a day out in Wiltshire it has mostly sat in the garage for one reason and another. Anyway, the little beast wa...

Hi all, after front and rear lights and side stand (complete as in pivot bolts etc) for the above. If not what after market items would you recommend? Many thanks Glen
Hi all, just picked the bike up today. Needs a bit of tidying, and maintenence, but thats part of the fun. Bought it for laning, after a 6 odd year lay off. Am really looking forward to hitting the lanes again. So if any one local is up for a bimble PM me. OK guys take care.
Hi all, very new to my TT250R (Raid) in fact I've only gotten as far as paying a deposit, will post a piccie when I've picked her up, and cleaned her up a bit. She will never be mint, but she will be used. Looking forward to picking brains and nicking good ideas
)So if anyone is interested in any level shoot me a MSG the more the merrier. Although I'm not sure how many of you guys are in Melbourne.
