Gday from australia, I just bought a 2005 TTR250 a few hours ago and look forwards to learning about them. I come from a sportsbike background but Im getting a bit older and my body doesnt bend like a coathanger anymore so I got rid of the sportsbike and thought I would have some fun touring around the bush...
Im only really new to dirtbiking - and the brother inlaw heard I got one so he borrowed a KLR650 and came visited. We both got bogged (he got bogged a few times, and I got badly bogged once while I was stopped sitting there and laughing at him trying to unbog himself, turns out my bike was sinking the whole ti...
Morning all, I'm currently running with 14/44 sprockets on my Raid but when i bought it, it came with a Renthal 52 tooth sprocket and chain to go with it. What will i notice putting the 52 sprocket on? How will the bike differ? FYI - i only do 'lane' riding with a bit of road to link up the lanes...no commutin...

Before I go pulling the dash cluster apart to diagnose the issue. I thought I would ask to see if anyone else has had troubles with there Speedo dash and if there was a simple solutions. It’s a blue 99 model with the analog speedo. Cable and speedo drive are both new. I’v spun the cable from the speedo drive...
I have been given a complete bike late 1970's that has been stored in an old stable for over 20+ years I would like to get it on the road or at least find out more information about it It Has frame number and engine number that match but I have no other documentation and no number plate etc. It seems I may have t...
Hey guys. I'm taking apart my old 2002/2004 Q Plate that my friend built from two crashed bikes. The frame needs some TLC and I want to spruce it up with some new parts I already have for it. I am missing the rear grab handles, all indicators, tail tidy, I have no brake cylinder bash plate either which I woul...
I don't know how but I have lost the gearchange mechanism retaining pin from a crankcase I have been hoarding. I need a replacement if anyone has a duff crankcase they could salvage one from please? I hope its clear from the photos below what I mean. If it has got a proper name I don't know it Beer tokens av...
I am trying to find a Headlight lens for a 2006 blue TTR 250 The one on the bike was broken and unable to read the number can any one tell me the number on it. i have an old one that was in a light surround that i brought, it has the number 50R-0045965 I see that the German website below has this one, is it correct...
I purchased new in 2007. It has done 3900 miles and has recently had new tyres, chain and rear sprocket. It‘s been regularly serviced, and garaged when not in use. The bike is fully original with the addition of a CRD sump guard, B&B frame guards, Acerbis hand guards and has the Totally TTR decompr...
Got my 94 raid on the boat road after it’s been sitting for a few years but getting a bit of clutch slip, can get replacement pattern clutch plates for £20 or ebc heavy duty with updated springs for £45, is it worth the extra?
A mot question, was wondering if anyone had come across. Fork seals are generally covered by rubber gaitors and hidden, to inspect them the tester would have to release the clip to do this. Never had an issue but never known a tester to do this, looks like the seals are overlooked
I'v never had alocking fuel cap but had this delivered today, works well and decent quality. Ebay job. -- Edited by wobbly on Monday 29th of November 2021 05:38:57 PM
I managed to break my headlight on my 2006 250 ttr today. Does anyone know wher i can purchase one. I see that you can get halogen ones that are ment to fit, are they any good.
I’ve just joined the forum after buying a bike from a member on here, I’m hoping to do a few green lanes in the Dales, I also own a Fantic 500 Rally but that’s to nice & new to throw at the scenery.
I mainly use the TTR during winter but through the rest of the year I do the maintenance and take it on short rides to keep everything moving. But yesterday I switched the ignition on and everything acted like a flat battery ie dull lights engine would barely turn. Took the battery off and tested, all fin...
Hi, After much deliberation I decided a TTR was the best bet for me with its unique combination of attributes - 6th gear and leccy start in particular. Just spent a few days in Devon with a few other old gits trying to relive their youth - and in the company of a CRF450L, XR400 and DRZ400E, the TTR gave away l...
As seems to be the case when I am leading a trail ride, I find very little opportunity to take photos! Anyways up, here are a few from a trail ride with my brother in a very muddy East Devon. As we hadn't been out for quite a while (Trev reckoned 3 years for him!) we only did a morning's bimble - just over 2 hours...
Yesterday afternoon I noticed that one of the original frame welds had a stress fracture, resulting in almost total separation of the joint. Metal is a bit thin for an arc welder with 2.5mm electrode, but managed with a bit of skill on low current and just overdid the weld to make sure it was stronger th...
I am very pleased with my 02 street legal TTR250.....with one exception. The forks are way too soft. The front end dives when you touch the front brake. I was told to run 4psi and that is what I am running. Can I buy spacers to make the springs stiffer, or buy stiffer springs? Thanks!
Headed out to Stuarts Point north of Orange NSW Australia for the weekend. Some good rides - dirt roads, fire trials and a mate of a mates farm with homemade motocross track
I recently purchased a bike that someone had previously bent the valves. Valves were installed in the head but everything was in pieces. I have been putting Humpty back together but have a couple parts I have no idea where they go or if they even go to the bike. Please look at the image if I can figure ou...
