Just got my used 05 ttr250 yesterday. Still trying to make sure I prep the bike for years of riding. Any helpful hints would be appreciated. I will search the site to see if I can find anything. Is a valve adjustment a nessessity? That may be a little out of my mechanical league.
Right apart from tottally ttr's wemoto and eBay can anyone recommend any sites where I can buy bits from? When I had my Honda crf there was a site with the full parts catalogue to order all the genuine parts. At the moment I need the tank decals as mine have all bubbled up ( common problem? ) a return spring f...

I've just finished checking the cylinder head of my TTR after a worry some grit got in when I removed the spark plug. There was a bit of fine grit/sand on the crown of the piston but the valves 'seemed' to be clean and were seating ok. After the rebuild, the bike initially started but stopped after a coupl...

Here is my 2000 TTR It has acquired a "used" look since the day the picture was taken but it has been well used. Needless to say it was the TTR man that sold it to me. He also does a very good job in selling bits to maintain and improve it, very reasonably priced to boot. There, that's my 10% assured...

Hi, I've had a TTR250 since mid 2007, 6500 kms on the clock, just got it out for the first time in a year and put its road gear on and blew out the cobwebs. What a blast, was being as bit of a hoon on it. I bought a DL650 Vstrom and since then the poor TTR has been a bit neglected. I have 2 sets of wheels one with knobb...
