With Troy (Advrider name Trokel). Bit further for this two dayer. Troy came up from Albury and spent the night, so we could get away at a reasonable time. My Base Camp prepared maps don't work if they don't get loaded onto the Zumo. I didn't realise the first day wasn't loaded until about the start of t...
Had a call last week from my mate Dave (we both have TTR's WRR's & Scramblers & been riding together for close to 50yrs) he wanted to know if I wanted to come up to his holiday house on the coast. I said yes in the blink of an eye. TTR on the trailer, 160kms up to his place, Monday afternoon we headed So...
Took the 350 on it's first proper ride out on Sunday. My mate Paul came round on his mahoosive KTM 790, very nice looking bike indeed, I made us bacon rolls and coffee before setting of, to pick the TET up near Hayle in Cornwall and ride back to Okehampton. We decided to take the scenic route to Bude and then...
It's been 12 months today since the local forests started burning. Today the local forests reopened Did a 170k loop around the more open parts of the valley. Good ride not much dust but the snakes are out again it's very hard to be bitten one I managed to stop with it between my left foot and the bike must...
A day ride, with Dobbo. We were going for lunch at Jingellic. Took a little longer than I suspected. Woomargama NP would be around 100km away by the normal route. Who wants to be normal? Lunch on the return ride was pretty late in the day. And I've bought new tubes too. I've been riding with spare tube...
I've been out a few times over summer, with different blokes from the group we have via Adventure Rider. I've used the GoPro and then taken longer than the rides lasted to edit the recordings. So, figured I could share. Not particularly good videos, of course but not unbroken / unedited either. Thi...
Hi TTR friends, I’ve just bought 100 acres just south of Braidwood in NSW Australia and needed a bike to get around a bit quicker and easier. Always love the Yamaha’s and after reading great things about the TTR’s, about myself a 2011 TTR250. The bike will be arriving here shortly and can’t wait until s...
I was looking at installing higher handlebars on my TTR and was comparing different bikes trying to find a suitable one. I can't find these parts new here and I can't get them delivered from outside, especially now that almost nobody is traveling to/from Europe, so this is the only alternative. I foun...
I’ve been wearing glasses for a while, which now that I’m going to be wearing a helmet on the bike, poses the obvious question. As a condition on my licence to drive cars and trucks, I have to wear glasses. I'll have to do the same when I get my riders licence. I’ve seen enduro helmets with drop down viso...
I have an early Raid with the digital speedo, where the LCD display has started degrading and it would no longer show the distance/trip meter, see the photo below. I also had a spare speedo which would not light up at all from a bike I had broken for parts, but which seemed to have a good LCD panel, so I decid...
G’day. I got a 2002 TTR250 about a month ago but I only discovered this forum yesterday. I live in the countryside of south west Australia and I had well and truely outgrown my old TTR125. 6’4 me had my knees in my face. I was looking for a 250 and I saw a TTR for a good price. Since I knew that TTrd were good and I...
I have been a creeper here for some time and truly believe groups of enthusiasts like these, when they get together and share experience, are what drive my love for riding. Thank you all for all the jams you've got me out of in the past. Maybe I am using the wrong verbiage in my searches but this is what I am c...
right when it comes to riding clothing what would be best just ordinary textile jacket and pants or proper dedicated enduro riding gear, would the enduro stuff be more hard wearing for riding past bushes etc thanks
Hi. I have a 2002 TTR 250 that has no stickers on it at all. I want a full sticker kit, not just the tank decals. I don’t mind if it isn‘t Yamaha. Internet searches have only came up with $300aud custom graphics kits or shoddy looking tank decals. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hello, Recently refitted indicators to bike, they currently just stay on permanently when operated. have tried led ones and standard ones, both the same. Have bought a new relay to try, still no luck. There is also no indicator tell tale up front, bulb new wondered if there’s any common wiring faul...
Recently purchased my 01 TTR250 was a bit abused but got for a good deal. Having experience with mechanics or dirtbikes in general looking to connect with others to help out with issues I might have. Any help is always useful. Looking forward to meeting everyone, from what I have already seen everyon...
EDIT BY BRIAN - SEE http://www.ttr250.com/Floatpost/TTR_float_post_repair.htmFOR AN UPDATED REPAIR GUIDE!Since it seems to be a common problem to break the float pin support mount on the TTR carburetors i thought i would add this simple fix to the problem.Thanks for reading, Cheers.The ho...
I never thought I would be posting something like this but Australian TTR250 owner Gavin Merchant lit up the Facebook "Yamaha TTR250 Riders" group when he posted this photo of his e-TTR alongside his standard bluey! He said: I love my blue 250 but the electric conversion is scary fast.. instant torq...
Hi all I have just opened up the clutch case to replace the heavy duty springs back to standard on the ttr350 and I have seen that the cam chain guide has snapped at the base for the second time. I have ridde around 16,000miles minimum as a ttr250 over the last few years and I upgraded to the 350 big bore ki...
Do any of you guys run an Anderson plug on your bikes directly from the battery? If so where did you mount it? I'm thinking of putting one on my TTR. Reason being to be able to trickle charge the bike with out removing the plastics. Could also plug a mini jump starter pack in it or even a little 12v air compres...
Hi again, I heard my girlfriend's 325 started to sound strange and has been off the road since. I just took a look and have found the front cover/plate is heavily scored, as is the first friction plate and the steel one. I was even more shocked to find the rear one exploded, thankfully all parts have be...
