Hi all, discovered motorbikes in my 50s and looking at a dual sport. A 2005 TTR250 with about 3000 miles on it is up for sale in my area, road registered. I can find lots of off road info online but not much re on road. I'm about 5'9, 88kg, just wondering how they go at 55-60 mph for 30 or 40 minutes at a time (lik...
Hi! I recently had my engine siezed (at the motorway). It is now partialy stripped and it is obvious that the Conrod big end is stucked to the crankshaft. Also, at least one of the crankshaft bearings is affected (the crank can turn but it shows difficulty). Lastly, each one of the small camshafts caps (...
There is a Taiwanese manufacturing company selling our one way starter clutch assemblies on Ebay. The company is Frontier Motor. The price is incredible and they ship worldwide. I ordered one and it appears to be OEM quality. Does anyone have any knowledge about this company? https://www....
First of all, special thanks to Brian and members of this great forum for providing all of the comprehensive technical instructions to rebuild anything on the TT-R250, and most of all, to Steve at Totally TTRs.com for providing the specialty bits that made this project possible. My love for t...
I wanted to see if I could reduce the slope towards the tank on my Raid seat, while also getting some added padding and making it a little higher in the process. I'm 6 foot 3 (192 cm) and feel a bit cramped on the bike, especially as I keep sliding forward and down towards the tank. I have never liked a forward...
Just a quick note to say hi. Just bought a 94 Open Enduro from a nice chap in Leamington Spa, maybe some of you know him. Have’nt had a bike for ten years, so super chuffed! Previous was an XL600lmf, the TTR is about half the weight, with much quicker steering, which will lure me onto the green lanes soon......
Hi all. I have a 250 Raid model with digital speedo.Was working fine, it still lights up but does not now register any KM/h, it just reads zero. I have read through forum which has been a great help.At the sensor near front sprocket I am getting 5v on blue wire and about 4.7v on yellow wire.When I spin the w...

I've renamed this thread so that I've got a single place to put all my questions and updates about my 350 build. ~~~~~~~~~~ Making slow progress on my 350, got the top end of this morning and was peering in at the crank. Does this look like a normal amount of blueing that one might expect from the heating o...
I have purchased a second hand "Pro Circuit T4 muffler that needs to be repacked, and pipe bent to fit. Two questions 1) what's the best form of packing a) Blanket type or b) Fiber packing? 2) I live in Sydney Australia, and recommendations for a good muffle shop to put a couple of bends in the pipe to f...
I have a really nice TTR250 FMF Powercore 4 exhaust for sale here in Exeter, Devon, UK. It is quite loud and would probably need a decibel killer fitted to make it totally suitable for ear-sensitive trail run leaders! It is fitted with the pucca FMF Racing spark arrestor insert S9000 (screen type) whi...
Need some help. Just got this bike on a trade. 03. Rebuilt the carb using all new parts with STOCK jetting sizes. Bike runs bad lean no matter what I do. Even with the airbox off. Black plug. Sooty pipe. Black smoke. I'm not a carb newb. Pulled it back off three times now to check things ...
Here's a pic of my 2011 TTR250. It's a great bike but just recently after completely destroying the sump bolt I found myself with a big dilemma. As you can see by the pics below I really butchered the sump bolt when trying to loosen it - basically it'...
As the title suggests I have increased the power to weight ratio on the TTR, perhaps a bend of the truth a little. I've been really busy putting our house on the market, moving stuff & cleaning, painting etc. Well the house sold in a week & for 50g above what we wanted with the bonus I dropped from...
Got a used GYTR tailpipe. Are some tailpipes just a slip on with no clamp needed ? Looks as though there never as been any clamp. Its a nice snug fit with extra thick pipe on the tailpipe where it joins the header pipe. All mounts line up good. Is it as the word goes. ( A slip on ). -- Edited by Markvan on Wed...
but it still managed to consume bet part of £700, just need to choose some tyres. Thank-you to Steve @ Totallyttrs.com and Brian Sussex for master cylinder assistance 👍 Happy with the 14.52 gearing and standard Renthal height, I'm 5'8. Upped the fork oil to 5w and added an extra 15mm to the level. On...
New to me 2003 TTR250, the carb slide is sticking half way open periodically. After some reading I understand the coating on the side starts to fail, which is the likely cause of this? Does anyone know if I can just buy a new slide? If so, from where and what is the part number? Thanks, Ryan
Hi everyone , So stupid me started a restoration on my bike thinking to fix the electrical problem I had about 3 years ago :O. So I had a problem after another putting the bike back together so I finally put the thing together about 2 years ago and it was super rough so I thought of ordering a carb rebuild kit...
There are always so many questions about sprockets so i thought i'd make a list that we can all agree on (i think). This subject has so many variables like tire size ,snail position ect. to take into account but i think all info should be correct. I am prepared to be wrong if need be as it it a very complex sub...
(See here if you are looking to replace your fork seals - http://www.ttr250.com/TTR_renew_fork_seals.htm ) If your fork seals are good but you are not sure of the age or quantity of oil in the forks, it is a relatively straightforward job to change it. First up after removing the forks from your TTR is...
Afternoon all. Any of you Raid guru's know what the two holes in the front and rear of the toolbox are for. I see there's a drain at the bottom, the other 2? Cheers Andy
My engine has a lovely clutch and gearbox and the alternator works. That's about all the good I can say about it so I either need a blue bike with a good engine in it, or a good engine. Not looking for something that looks showroom fresh at silly money, it will be doing 1000s of miles per year on the lanes so...
I really like my 2005 TTR250, it was the one bike I have always regretted not buying new when I had the chance. I bought this one 3 years ago having run a TT600RE for quite a few years, I ran them both for while whilst deciding which one to keep. For me, the 250 was the clear winner, lighter, 6 gears, better on t...
