Just back from a tarmac ride to test the Klan heated jacket kindly loaned to me by Andy (Shack). Andy's vest uses a cigarette lighter plug which was ideal as I have one on the TTR bars to fuel my GPS. Very very toasty - lovely bit of kit. Might take a bit of thinking on the cables but for those trail rides where...
I am looking at purchasing my first trail/dirt bike. I have done a little research and believe that the TTR is the way to go. I have looked at a few second hand private sales and one particular stands out, but some issues to report. Blows whitish grey smoke (from exhaust) at times hard to start with start...

Do you think you would notice a change from 47 to 48 rear sprocket?
Just took the bike for a test ride with the 13:47 setup and she went well and still does over 110 km/h. Gearing commander says not much difference in top speed with a change to 48, but would there be a noticeable difference in down low resp...
The manual says to use a 520V2 but the chain below I was wanting to buy It's called a D.I.D 520VT2 T-Ring Chain Link Does anyone know if it's suitable ?? It's on super special this week Thanks Steve
This is such a simple thing compared to the monumental restorations that have been posted, but I am just tickled at the result. When I first bought my bike a few months ago, it had a (very loud) Big Gun exhuast system and a Mikuni TM-33-8012 racing carburetor installed on it. Great pick up, but it took fo...
Hi guys, Hope you had a good Christmas. I have been commuting through the snow over a moorland track on my TTR250 ('94 Raid), having a few slips trips and falls on the ice but never being let down by the bike yet. I recently changed my Sprag with parts I sourced from Partshark in America, I did it because I...
quick question, when riveting master links with a rivet tool (one i just ordered from America) how much do you rivet each pin? as in how wide should the rivet be after being pressed to confidently stop the link from failing. cant find anything on the net. would a mm increase in diameter be enough or too mu...
Hello fellow TTR 250 freaks, My name is Roland, 53y old and 35y motorrider. I'm from Flanders ( Belgium ) but I live in Morocco together with my wife, cat, Lada Niva and my TTR 250. Morocco is a nice country to enjoy my pension but difficult to find parts and experienced mecanics. My TTR 250 is build in 200...

how big a sprocket can you go on the back before you have to alter/lower the chain guide (if thats what it is called) on the bottom of the swingarm at the back that the chain runs through? im thinking about running 14:50 or 52 setup.
hi all, i just finished putting on the 47 tooth rear sprocket. already had a 13 on the front. took her for a spin round the block and initialy thought that it may be too short in 1st gear. Any thoughts? reason i put the 47 on was too high top speed. wanted to reduce it a bit and gain more response down low. would...
New England, specifically . I just bought a 2003 for my son's 16th birthday present! The hardest thing will be keeping the secret for another six moths! I ride a Kawasaki KLX250S, but my other Yamahas are a 2008 FJR1300 and my youngest son has a PW80. Will post up some pictures when I can sneak away to the b...

Hi all, just doing an oil change and found the large 'o' ring around the filter housing has snapped, but can I find a replacement?, the two smaller ones have seen better days as well, but might be able to get these a little easier. Where have (has anyone) people go replacement ones from? or it is worth just...

Hello all, My newly acquired TTR will be going in for an MoT test next week, but I have one question. The original number plate assembly (regular size plate, reflecter, number plate light) has been replaced by a slightly smaller number plate, with no number plate light and no reflector (it has a red...
mate any chance of posting a pic of the difference between your great looking footpegs and the standard ones. how much would these be shipped to Australia too mate? cheers!
Hi all, New to the forum (just found the site), but not new to TTR's. Bought my 1999 TTR250 back in 04, did a bit of bush riding with mates for a few months, then decided to do a 4WD trip around OZ so I spent the next 18 months planning, saving and preping the Hilux for that. Did the 4 month trip and came back with...
Hi folks Name's Mike. Recently picked up a 2006 TTR250 as I have decided I need/want to get some dirt skills. I've been riding road for a couple of years - I also have an Aprilia Tuono. They all look the same but everyone loves pics, right? The morning after I picked it up, all shiny and clean. It had never be...
Hi All, new to the forum, living in the NSW Southern Highlands, south of Sydney. been riding a 2000 model ttr for about 6 month/2500km. bought stock but now has a few mods, with more to come. were having the wettest "summer" i have seen in years and years so i will probably find some time to star...
Hello i purchased a fmf silencer for my bike and fitted it on, there dosent seem to be an increase in power, (just louder) was just wondering if anyone has fitted this exhaust and had to re jet it? Also if the exhaust will do any damage to the engine will different back pressure? (was thinking of putting t...
Hi folks. Hosed down after a ride a few weeks ago, put the bike away. Today, no start on the button or kick. Turn over but no fire. I have power, checked the spark, checked fuel is flowing, drained fuel from carb, checked airbox is dry. Removed tank to get at all the electrical connections. Gave them a...
Can anyone tell me the standard piston size on a raid , as I'm thinking of upping the grunt a little. Went to a local mod shop today in Bangkok near where I live and they said they can do a conversion for a bigger piston set up , has anyone any info on the largest piston that can be fitted to the raid without any p...
Hi I'm in need of a bashplate and have access to some good fabrication facilities at work. Would any of you be so kind as to take a photo / produce a quick sketch with the key dimensions so I can get one fabricated. I could of course take some measurements myself but thought it better to use a trusted design :...
hi there again. I have pulled my sparkplug and taken a picture of it. what do you think? it has both black and white parts. just trying to work out if its rich or lean. And while i have you looking, this rubber thing was sitting on top of the engine next to where the spark plug goes. what the hell is it and where...
