Number 2 is it myth or not the throttle stop screw needs adjusting as mister Yamaha prevents full throttle? Number 3 if I have an FMF after mar...
Hi ,
Just registered and thought I would introduce myself. I feel a bit of a fraud really because I haven't got a TTR yet! I'm still searching for one though. I have owned and ridden bikes since I was 16, some 40 odd years ago! My first bike was a BSA Bantam D7 which I bought for £7 . I soon upgraded to a BSA C15 S...
Finally managed to log in- thanks Brian! I bought my bike about 3 weeks ago, in ignorance and a hurry, but I've had some great rides in the hills here in France already- first thing I learned is that the bike is a lot braver than me! Now trying to put the bike back to more stock condition- I hadn't realis...
My TTR shortly after I bought it. Just needs chain and sprockets and it'll be tip top again. Not used it in a year due to injury but will hopefully get back on the lanes in the new year
Hi guys well here she is, did 5 miles today and loved it, the engine is so quiet but it says its done 19k!!!!! Hey ho and all that, starts on the button and love the riding postiion. Steve
Hey just wondering if anyone could give me advice one what seals to get my front fork has started leaking a little. Il probably do a full oil change as well. Just wondering what parts I need and what everyone else was using. any particular brand better? Also what oil do people run I'm about 95kg with all ge...
In an effort to quiet down my after-market exhaust system, I have inserted a copper grill scrubber into the end of the muffler. I was also hoping to reduce the flow and help the bike run a little smoother. (She seems to prefer to run with the choke on a bit.) If the bike is not running poorly with this add...
My side stand can be a real pain to kick down/up again. I've dismantled the linkage, greased it and nipped it back up. It continues to misbehave! Seems it needs a bearing or something for it to work properly, don't have this problem on my DRZ or CBR600, or any other bike I've owned. Ideas please?

I have removed the following parts which I have to sell: - Bash plate -TTR raid luggage rack - Acerbis 22lt tank with 2 fuel pectcoks - Self made luggage system as per attached pictures - Used carburetor Offers accept...
Hi guys ok so my bike is 04 with full FMF Q pipe, standard apart from that I reckon. I dont expect miracles from the bike but what should I do for best results bearing in mind ive had DRZ 400s KDX 220s so not expecting that power but they both had mechanical water seals fail hence wanted air cooled.... Air...
A few hours ago i just finished the disassebly of my Top End. I want to ask some questions. 1st: Α piece of gasket glue fall down from the cam chain... Is it going to do any damage to the engine? It must be taken off? 2nd: i had the engine at TDC but while i was trying to get the piston pin out i moved it a little. Th...

First of all, I really like my new (to me) 2000 TTR-250. But, is there a modern, small bike on which this is a more difficult task to do well? First of all, little bay in which the plug is placed is a terrific place to collect dirt leaves, small rocks, sand, etc. Second, you can't see what is there to make su...
Is the polisport item a viable UPgrade or is it the SAMEgrade. I mean is it much brighter?? My friends have polisport lights on KTMs but there 100w, I noticed the polisport item is the same wattage as standard. Any other suggestions?? I have an Open Enduro BTW.
Hi guys just wanted to post as looknig at getting TTR after advice from a friend, had DRZ recently, KDX220, CRM 250 etc etc but like the look of the TTR. I will be occasionally green laning in Cumbria and some commuting, 5 miles a day max. Will the bike be good for this and why should I buy one guys??? Got an...
hi just joined the forum, and am looking for a TTR (have posted on the wanted page), its been a while since i've been off road and that was mainly the odd jaunt around a field on an old 250ER Suzuki. The last time was an impromptu trip on the Triumph Tiger taking a shortcut whilst in Spain, not that i'd recco...
My rear gear lever appears to have developed a reasonable amount of play on it, side to side and now rests nearer to the engine than I would like for my foot to "find" the lever I've just had it apart and it seems loose in the mounting hole - any ideas on how to sort this/what bits I need to replace...
My turn to ask for help I am rebuilding a carb and want to go down from a 52.5 to a 50 pilot jet. The replacement jet looked right but didn't fit as the small diameter section was a tad too wide I have a new genuine Yamaha 50 pilot jet in my spares box but it is much shorter. See pic below: The shorter jet fits fi...
A few pictures from a ride we did on 3 December just south of Kingston, New Zealand. We reached a maximum height on this ride of only about 1500m. Lake Wakatipu is in the back ground.
Hi All Any Shooters out there ? well I am and I have a 5 gun safe and only 1 gun, the safe came with 5 trigger locks, well guess what, they work perfectly as disc locks as well. Handy hey BMSteve

Hi. I'm Pete from Stafford. Just purchased a 1996 TTR 250 to have a go at Green Laning with my son in law. I think this is my 3rd mid life crisis after giving up on touring and bikes altogether about 5 years ago.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just got her tested and road legal yesterday so looking forward to getting b...
I recently bought a TTR that had starter gear problems and was kickstart only. It was only used off road so had no need for lights etc. The previous owner must have been quite knowledgeable about bike electrics because he managed to get a working TTR using only a very small part of the original loom as in t...
