I have now vacated my storage "facility" where I had been keeping my TTR250s that I rescued from Spain so I am a bit over run with the things here at TTR Towers to the extent that there are a couple of 'em lurking on the lawn with plastic macs on I have started going through them with a view to sell...

The bike I am told is built on a 1993 frame, with a 2004 5GF engine having a Wossner graphite coated forged piston, CRD performance exhaust system,SHOWA 47mm i...
Does anyone happen to have a broken indicator switch unit lying around? Mine works fine but the bloomin little bit of plastic on the end of the tiny indicator stalk disappeared on my last ride. I think it was held in by a minature screw underneath and i guess that vibrated out. I'm selling the bike soon an...

Hi guys, I have taken the plunge and bought a 1994 TTR Raid so as to go out with my mate who has a WR250. I absolutely love it, and have got a bit of laning done along with a lot of road miles since I got it a couple of months ago. It needs a bit of TLC but I think that was reflected in the £650 price which didn't seem t...

Checked spark cap all looks good changed plug... R...

No need to spend any more money on parts, just get out there and ride it.It’s a pukka UK-supplied bike so has electric & kick start, and speedo in mph.It was first registered 04/2005 and h...

Hi all Can anyone tell me what this thing is, I pulled it appart the other day and it was full of water and the various parts were all full of sludge, so it's all clean now but what does it do and is it even needed ? Can't I just connect the breather pipe from the head streight to the airbox ? Pic Thanks Steve
Hi all, i did a big ride at wkend and on cleaning bike up after had real problems getting dirt/stones /grass and all the other stuff out from behind the plastic cover that holds the electronic reader for the speedo, the speedo doesn't work any way and i don't need it.

I've just been trying to remove my acerbis handguards, the expander bolt thing inside the bars and try as I may I cannot get them to budge! Am I just being dozy and missing something obvious?? Cheers
Do all TTR's run underwater or am I just lucky? I ask because I was laning yesterday with a couple of friends and during several long water crossings where my bum was underwater my TTR never missed a beat (thank goodness!) but both the XLR 600 and MT350 cut out several times. Now I've not done any special p...

Hi guys, I've got an '01 TTR250 that's been converted for street use here in the US. I lost my low beam a while ago and went searching for a new bulb. The bulb in there is a "KOITO 35w/36.5w Halogen" and its 30 freakin dollars to replace. The bulb doesn't cross reference with anything, but an H...
Got a few mates with various bikes and levels of experience every 2nd weekend or so ( when i finaly get my bike back together )So if anyone is interested in any level shoot me a MSG the more the merrier. Although I'm not sure how many of you guys are in Melbourne.
What is the castle like structure on the top of the manifold?. Can i remove it to make a bit more room when removing the carb? ie push the manifold back into the airbox. Must say looks a bit permanent.
Hi, I am a month into owning a ttr 250 93/94, my first bike, loving it and is great for NZ riding. I am taking part in a trail ride on Saturday, which specifies you have to have a sprk arrester, do i have one on already? if so where is it. i have down loaded the manuel online, which states one but is probably for a...
Hi All, Graduated to a TTR from a Serow about 8 months ago. Generally bimbling around my local (Northants, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire) lanes on weekdays throughout the year. (Can't ride at weekends normally which rules out local TRF runs unfortunately) Compan...
I was going to make some new stickers for the TTR, my usual job is as a signwriter so easy enough to make some new ones but to save time and effort does anyone have any original templates, preferably as PDF or EPS vector files, would be very helpful. If no one has any, is anyone interested in a set (the setup f...
Well decided to check my swing arm and all the linkages and give them a regreace. I havnt had a look at them since I got the bike a year ago...... Well let's just say the idiot who had the bike before me hasn't looked at them since the bike was made in 2000. Soo looks like anouther expensive rebuild. Some of th...
Hi all, just picked up my Raid yesturday and doesn't seem to be a great deal of oil in it, How much should I see through the sight window on LHS of the engine? I don't see to have a dipstick (told you I'm new to this machine) so I'm guessing the window gives you all the info you need. I'm looking to do an oil and fi...
