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...
Hi there, Just got my bike registered & running well enough to start taking a few shakedown runs on the roads around town. Still more lighting & things to add to before it's inspectable & 100% street legal (USA). Tonight on the pavement, probably cuising in 6th, I noticed that the bars see...

Last year whilst riding in Spain and Portugal, the bike tended to bog and slow and stutter on inclines. So before this years trip I gave the carb the once over. All good across Europe, but just before Ankara the problem resurfaced, the problem seemed to be mainly in mid throttle positions. After a few ca...

im currently running 14/52 sprocket set and was wondering which way to go on the rear or front sprocket to get a bit more acceleration. not so worried about top speed as on the trails id be lucky to get abouve 70km (most of the time alot lower ). thanks
Hi All Having recently replaced the sprockets front and rear there is now an annoying noise comming from the front sprocket area, nothing is touching, case guard clear etc... Is it the new sprocket ? the original one, Yamaha had rubber moulded into the sprocket and was much quieter I think I think I rea...
Anyone tried getting decals for the Raid off Yamaha? Think I'm going to replace the ones missing off my latest Raid if I can. Seriously 90's cheese but what the hell. My other Raid can do without although I did get some copies from Sri Lanka so it may have to be cheesed up as well.

As the forecast was totaly wrong (thankfully) I thought I would take the TTR out for a whizz, did about 25 + lanes. Had a great time, can't believe how wet the lanes are tho , there is some seriously deep wet mud about.
Hi all, I've just stripped my bike down to totally refurbish it, ie getting the frame blasted and powder coated, wheels re-spoked ect, what I would like to know is, are there any uk sites that sell carburetor seal kits, or is there another type of bike that uses the same ttr parts..I have the 1996 OE vers...

My niece Eliza (aged 6 years) drew this picture from a model TTR and has made it look quite funky She and her family stayed a few days with us and by the time she left she and her brother knew most of the parts names and where they are on the bike - can't leave everything to non-petrolhead parents Brian PS Th...
Well after reading the many restoration story’s on this awesome forum I decided to share my own.My ttr was my first bike and as funds were tight and I needed a relaxing hobby. I decided to buy a cheap bike and try and fix it myself. I spent ages searching various sites and managed to find a 2000 TTR250 in d...
While out riding with Rattlyolddt the other day...he mentioned that my Raid looked lower at the back end than his OE model.....i thought the side panels may give the impression of it being lower (as they're bigger) but got me thinking...how will i know if my bike has a lowering link fitted?
The bike was pre-registered in 04 by a Kent main dealer and stored. I bought it in June 07 with zero miles and have only used it on sunny days around the local lanes. It has a lowering link fitted, original available. New battery last year. Its been garaged and is in showroom condition with exception of...
I've got myself a tank .... and now just need the matching Raid seat! Condition not critical, as long as the base and foam are intact and unmolested! I have a standard OE seat (and tank) that I will be happy to trade, which can be seen on the bike in the first post on this thread:- http://ttr250.activeboar...
