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?

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....

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. 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...
Hello Im preparing for the installation of Thumper Racing 325 big bore kit. Inspecting everything as I take the bike apart as you would. Noticed there is a 17mm ID x 60mm long back pressure restriction in the exhaust header. See pic. Has anyone removed or modified that in any way ? Per previous, Im pla...
Hello Just completed 3 magnificent days with John Stains West Coast Trail Bike Safari through South West of WA. We started at Johns base in Kirup, hacked through bush trails, scrub, tall timber, pines, creeks, fire breaks, hill climbs through to Pemberton. There were 13 bikes , only 2 air cooled 1 x T...
Hi, I've been riding bikes for longer than I want to admit to and have recently added a TTR to my garage. I am based close to Drayton Manor Park, Tamworth and hope to have a go at "green laning". Unfortunately, I don't know where I can go.........guess I need to join the TRF and take it from there...
One of our customers mentioned in his email:We rode this year http://rideonmt.blogspot.com/ the infamous road to Tynda and beyond to Sachalin(Eastern Russia) following the BAM railway with a TTR and a XR600. The XR broke down (very rare) but the TTR went on as happy as can be. In 2 years from now we wil...
