My boy came back from a ride ( private land) and said that the bike battery died witch seems mad because I’ve just fitted a new battery, starter motor, and sprag, because it started to bang when switching off engine, so today we had a look and when I put multi meter on battery it said 12: 7 v battery ok! So th...
had a phone call from my mate yesterday & when I said I was taking the TTR out he wanted to come along, his TTR is at his holiday house so he took the WRR. Gravel roads, summer tracks & farm tracks, we had some rain, lightning & thunder. We went up over the ranges & back. couple of photos when...

I dont see chain tensioners on bikes anymore. My 1979 Yamaha TY 175 had one from the factory. Wondering why they have done away with them, is it because they have chain guides instead. Or maybe bikes these days have so much suspension travel that they wouldnt work and cause problems.
I have just done a bit of research for a customer so thought I might as well share the information and maybe there are owners on here that can add to it or correct it - please!The only big-bore kit I have found for the TTR250 is from Thumper Racing in the States - see http://thumperracing.net/index.php?r...

Leaving it a tad shorter than it should be I went to order a new one but it's a three month wait Over night I've tidied the end up and but a bit of metal putty on the end now all good until the new one...
Hi all, what about photos of current & past bikes, road bikes, dirt bikes, dual sport etc. Always good to check out photos or videos of bikes from around the globe Terry
Starts one km from home on the blacktop to the dirt through one area that was burnt couple of years ago. Thought I could show the area near where we live, we are right on the edge of the burbs in the Adelaide hills -- Edite...
I want to convert my busted digital speedo to mechanical unfortunately dt125 hardware are not locally available. What I can get is a TW200 head unit and drive gear. I can also get a drive gear for YBR125. If I'm not mistaken the drive gear on the TW200 and YBR125 are on the left side whereas the ttr250 has i...
I had to reset my Trail Tech speedo recently and have the options to enter some indication points for high rev range during gear changes. I've had a quick search but didn't find anything conclusive. It has the option to flash LED lights to change gears. Has options for High rev range and Danger. Any idea...
Hi, having just spent a fruitless search trying trying to 'Contact the Administrator' to unlock my account, after joining the forum and not receiving the confirmation email. Can you please explain in the application or put a link or something about how to do this. I have tried countless times and dou...
A mate gave me this tip and it seems to have worked! My airbox intake boot is a tight fit and it is sometimes difficult to get it to sit fully on the carb. One remedy might be (a) to find some pipe that is a tight fit in the mouth of the boot, (b) cramp it in tight. (c) pour really hot water over the boot, (d) pull ha...
Put rego on the TTR today so went out for a spin around the dirt roads, 70kms all up & only 7kms on the black top from my place. The TTR felt really good, I did my steering head bearings a little while back & after the last ride had to re-adjust. When I was chasing the handling issue ( head bearings ) I f...
I have been in email conversation with Peter Gray of Wilderness Wheels Morocco. They run a small fleet of blue TTRs alongside their KTM 450 EXCs. Peter says they find the TTR to be a totally competent off road bike in Morocco and is his preference over the KTMs for a ride over the mountains. He has rece...
I’ve just taken my bike apart to do the sprag clutch and i noticed that everting looked ok , except the starter spline looked really bad , so I’ve ordered a new starter motor, so I thought I would look on ttr thred and just noticed that there was no washers ( shins) on idol gear that got to be why sounds so bad !...
Yesterday I got out with a few friends around the North Yorks Moors. The video was taken by a mate so you get to follow my TTR for 46 minutes if you want to. I'm sure he doctored the video after the 15 minute mark as I dont remember falling off, twic...
2006TTR 250, set for a couple years in friends garage, was given to me. I cleaned carb and changed oil and air filter and put a new battery in it, it would run on idle with the choke pulled out but would die upon giving any amount of throttle. I bought and replace all new jets and still the same issue. it ru...
Hey guys, I'm thinking about making my TTR Raid a Little bit less bulky, can I replace the big Raid side panels with those of the Open Enduro? I thought about taking out the plastic box under the left hand one containing the tool kit, because I always carry the tool kit in my backpack. I live in Dominican R...
