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...
Have a 1995 OE, have recently noticed that if I 'snap' the trottle open quickly (with the bike standing still & warmed up), the engine splutters & sometimes dies. If I open the trottle normally, every thing is ok, with the engine revving with no issues. This issue is not apparent when riding an...
I am just about ready for another rear tyre - any suggestions on what would last the longest? Would a trials tyre last any longer, such as a MT43? I typically ride 30 miles on road to the Peaks and it is wearing the rear down at an alarming rate....
Hi Guys I'm currently building a rear carry rack and want to do some welding to the rear frame I've added some mounting brackets and want to position everything in place then spot weld My question is is it safe to weld in the bike directly, I was going to disconect the battery and the CDI Some advise from A...
Can anyone enlighten me on what plates to fit to a 95 raid please, and does anyone know if they are compatible with any other bikes as finding parts for this bike out here is like looking for rocking horse s..t Cheers Daz
Hi, I have been riding roads bikes for 19-years and the TTR-250 is my first ever off-road experience. I bought it back in January, immidtaely joined the TRF and apart from a few local trails and a day out in Wiltshire it has mostly sat in the garage for one reason and another. Anyway, the little beast wa...

Hi all, just picked the bike up today. Needs a bit of tidying, and maintenence, but thats part of the fun. Bought it for laning, after a 6 odd year lay off. Am really looking forward to hitting the lanes again. So if any one local is up for a bimble PM me. OK guys take care.
Hi all, very new to my TT250R (Raid) in fact I've only gotten as far as paying a deposit, will post a piccie when I've picked her up, and cleaned her up a bit. She will never be mint, but she will be used. Looking forward to picking brains and nicking good ideas
Has anyone had to replace the electrics under the seat ? the wirers that are under the seat that run from the rear of the bike to the core appear to have been damaged by wet and mud . I was curious to how differcult this would be ?? cheers Rich
This is not a question most dirt-only riders could answer, but... Has anybody had experince with AirHawk inflatable seat cushions? Sometimes we do eight or nine hours in the saddle on-road and the butt suffers cruelly...
How many times have you looked at some parts lists only to find that the TTR isn't listed I need some brake pads soon and thay are currently 50% off but no TTR listed, does anyone know for certain if any other makes or model are compatable with the TTR Thanks Steve
Sadly I'm the opposite of the other posters on here. I'm about to put my TTR up for sale and am also looking for a small part for it. Thought it would be more polite to say hello rather than registering, sticking an ad up and saying nothing. In my defence, I have bought a couple of bits from Brian! Can say for...
Hello I bought a new TTR250 2006 model and have taken it out about 2 times in the last 5 years, because all the crap going on at work, the missus hassling me to take her shopping and holidays, kids causing drama, mum visiting.. blar blar. Anyway have decided to tell everyone to nick off this year, and hav...
Yet another successful event from the Welsh Trail Riders Association, althought there were issues on Saturday as the ambulances hadn't turned up and so the whole thing was delayed by about three hours. Thankfully I was just in for Sunday so I wasn't effected. The course was made up of three 35 mile lap...

I am having to vacate my storage "facility" where I have been keeping my TTR250s I rescued from Spain so I am a bit over run with the things here at TTR Towers I am going to go through them and sell the best as "projects bikes" to get a quick gain in garage space and will break the rest f...

Hi, Swapped my YZ250 last year for a 2006 250TTR and love it. Had no issues until a moderate crash put the throttle grip into a bind with the barkbuster. I had to remove the throttle assy to correct the problem, I had no issues with the reassembly but the bike now idles very rough with a mild backfire and se...
