Grabbed a mate and did wombeyan caves road today. weather was perfect this time. mate nearly got hit by a kangaroo, i nearly got hit by some kind of hawk that was sitting on the side of the road and decided to fly at me as i approached it. I also had a fly go up my nose at 100km/h on the way, and i couldnt blow it ou...
These two combinations are almost identical, but even with a combination that IS identical, could there be some differences at high speed?
For example, would the 14 front resuce revs at 100km/h or not.
Aain, this is for a combination that is identical say around 4:1
Jusy trying to work out what...
For those who live around me, wanting to do a nice trail ride with a few little river crossings, magnificent views, a lot of hills, and also a nice stop and fun on a very long and high swing bridge over the coxs river, i suggest riding out to the Six Foot Track. Here is a link with some views. You can enter on th...

Hi All, headlight on my Raid doesn't want to play, I've checked and changed bulb but still no joy, looking through the owners/ service manual etc can only locate 1 fuse (main) is this right? everything else works so am I answering my own question by thinking something like a dodgy connection? and have t...
Should also read in pissing down torrential rain with no wet weather gear for 250km ! Day off today, and had the dilemma of chosing between running new race tyres in on the ducati, or taking the TTR out for an adventure. TTR won. I left goulburn early and the sun was shining. I got to Taralga which is 50km aw...
Now then, I have found with cars that spotting an unexpectedly poor fuel economy can be one good way of seeing how knackered an engine is. I have been commuting from Keighley to Wakefield in West Yorkshire this week, a round trip of 47 miles all on busy roads at rush hours. I have 1994 Raid, standard eng...
Evening all......any other TTR riders in the Herts/Beds area out an about on Saturday? I quite fancy a ride out if anyone wants to come out...not sure it'll be a whole day thing due to family time but a good few hours at least! Shame i've not had the chance to change the rear sprocket as yet though...never...
Great to have the new bike and she's a beaut! Bought this off a top bloke (TTRRaid on this forum) and i'm delighted. Went out yesterday and here are a few pics of her while we were out and about. [IMG]https://i1270....
Morning all, Bit of novice help required here if possible? The biting point on my clutch lever is a bit too far out and i want to adjust it...but i'm not sure how. There are quite a few little nuts and adjusters on the cable etc (longer cables fitted to my bike as bar risers are fitted too). Can anyone assist...
Anyone using throw over panniers or other luggage? Something neat and tidy. I'd like to see pics of how people are setting their bikes up for touring if possible to get some ideas.
I like the wolfman stuff but there may be something better out there.
Beatifully crafted seat that has been professionally rebuilt with a very nicely stitched cover. Despite its "thinness", it is surprisingly comfortable. Just as well really as it was intended to support a lady overlanding the TTR through Mongolia Although shown with the big Acerbis t...
Morning all, I'm currently running with 14/44 sprockets on my Raid but when i bought it, it came with a Renthal 52 tooth sprocket and chain to go with it. What will i notice putting the 52 sprocket on? How will the bike differ? FYI - i only do 'lane' riding with a bit of road to link up the lanes...no commutin...
Morning all..New member to the site here so Hello to you all......I'm seeking a TTR right now and seem to be suffering with an under supply situation! I live near St Albans (Herts) but am willing to travel for the right bike, Seems a lot of TTR's are owned in the S/W (Dev & Cor) funnily enough! I'm hopi...
Having confusing problems with my '94 Raid. If I charge the battery up and put it on the bike the bike will start and run perfectly happily. However most times (but not every time) after about 1/2 hour the battery will be flat but the motor will still run as long as I don't stop it (then it must be bump starte...
Im after a gps. can anyone recommend a model that has roads, fire trails etc and the option to add maps downloaded? doesnt have to be colour but that would be nice, and im after the cheapest one that will have the above features to use when exploring new areas.
Has anyone out there in TTR land opened up a standard silencer? I'm interested to know what's in there, ie a cat. I quite fancy getting hold of a second hand one and taking the grinder/mig to it.
Hi chaps, I have got a leaky something on my engine, front right hand side possibly top of the crank case or similar. I've taken some photos, since them I have cleaned round it to try and identify where it seeps from in future, however I just wondered whether by looking at the pictures anyone could have a...
Just installed a number 3, 5.5L Nomad Tank. It is fantastic. It came complete with mounting bolts, rubber straps, fuel tap, fuel filter, fuel hoses and T piece to add fuel line into main line. All parts look well made, and fees very strong. I found it quite hard to get the hose squeezed on to the T piece,...
Finally got out on the green lanes with my very good friend Matt. He has a Yamaha WR250R on a 60 plate and has gone on quite a few TRF runs over the last year, and took me out to show me a good mix of routes. First up was meeting at Keighley Gate. This is part of my daily commute so I was quite happy blasting along h...
So, I'm now about 3 weeks into the world of motorcycling. Getting a good feel for the limits of the bike, and working on my stance, slow-speed maneuvers, etc. I've decided this weekend to leave the safe confines of my backyard and empty next-door lot for a little bit of offroading. As luck would have it,...
Hi, I want to increase the spring rate in my forks a bit to compensate for the addition of a 22l acerbis tank. i figure the neatest way would be to get a factory spacer tube and use a lathe to machine off a couple of 4mm (ish) sections does anyone have a spare spacer or two they can sell me? if so pm me i should be a...
