After several years delay (!), I finally completed my sidelined top-end rebuild. All new parts (Wossner piston kit), all machine work sent out to a first-class machinist, 1mm over bore, new valves, cam sprockets, cam chain, etc. Set cam timing meticulously. Before reassembly, I checked the big-e...
Ok. My TTR has developed an annoying habit. It has cut out a dozen times at idle over the past few weeks, so I'm asking for ideas on what might be causing it. Today I took it for a 10-15 minute urban run at 30-40 mph, a 2 mile return trip up a dual carriage way at +60 mph, and finished off with start / stop, 1/4 mil...
After doing the starter clutch & kick starter, I re-fitted the exhaust, as you do. Got the torque wrench onto the exhaust studs and it wouldn't tighten even on about 8 lb.ft. Oh well, **** happens. Any interim repair, other than helicoil? I have a spare head that I will have serviced and fit so I c...
If I didn't take it, it was off to the tip. Far too good to just throw it away, so I took it and got it out of the weather. Wasps had taken over as the top of this insect motel's food chain. I removed all of the plastics, what remained of the seat (I think it may have been sheep food), and the engine came out. Th...

My original clocks are heavy and prone to getting smashed so here's may solution. A sheet of black nylon bolted to the standard mountings. Completely ditched the speedo drive that kept failing anyway, just kept the housing on the front axle, nothing inside it. Orange LEDs on L side are day and nigh...
I was trying to find some thorough details on fitting an oil cooler. It's pretty messy in here, with half a dozen different threads which either drop off unfinished, or don't really give sufficient information. What I've gathered so far is that there is one bolt, located inside the clutch cover, tha...

I am now the owner of PO55 OTS; and very happy with this lovely bike - apart from the mystery of the disappearing oil! There is no evidence of oil leaking, it does not smoke but at the end of every ride ( usually about 50 miles of gentle, Cornish lanes) I have to add at least 100ml of oil just to get the level vis...

Hey all, My bike started running rough, bogging quite badly. Took it to a professional who said the rubber joint between the carb and engine neeeded replacing. Picked it up and it seemed to be running okay when I started it before leaving. Tried taking it out for a ride a couple of weeks later and it start...

Hello, I’m busy renovating my 1995 TTR 250 Raid which I have been using for classic enduros and TRF green laning here in Northumberland. Stripped top end today and find a small amount of rocking play at the small end. I will order a new gudgeon pin first, but I suspect I may need a new con rod. How much play...
G'day guys, There is nowhere on the internet that discusses this topic. I still have the original Dunlops on my bike. I want to change to an exclusive offroad dirt tyre. What brand/types do you recommend? -- Edited by AussieChookchaser on Saturday 7th of December 2024 09:10:45 AM
Well owners have been waiting ages for the latest batch of 6 kits and we have had a bit of a disaster The machinist has started (at last) to work on the barrels and has found 2 of them have not been cast correctly, this means we will only have 4 kits available. I will be emailing all 6 owners, to see if anyone w...

Ive looked through some of the older threads and I cant seem to find anything on replacing the front wheel bearings. Does anyone have a guide for that project? Also the torque specs for the axle nut and pinch bolts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank y'all in advanced as always.

Thanks for having me. I live near York and have just bought a 250 Raid on a Q plate, with a lot of receipts for work done over the last few years. What I'd really like to do is find some history for it before it was SVA'd in 2006 Anyway I imagine I'll have a lot of questions and will try to contribute when I can. I...
