HELLO ALL! Found you via Google. Im 67 and riding since about 10 years old. Started on those Honda 50 and 70's we all love. Got a used 2003 TTR250 for $1400usd. When I went to get it he agreed it had a idle problem. Would stall if you didnt hold a little gas on. But other then that rode and ran great and shifte...
Hey all, just getting back into riding after far too long away. I want/ need to do some jobs on the old girl but would like a paper manual.... Ive got the computer version off Brian but find it a pain. My question is.... was the 1998 a weird year or something as all the manuals ( Hayes and clymer) don't come up...
Well after some serious health issues last year & an operation to correct it, plus was not allowed to lift for 3 months. I rode the WRR 4 months ago in pain from my left hand ( Viking hand) could not pull the clutch in & didn't use the clutch most of the ride. Pulled my finger out & had another ope...
Is there a replacement cable or one off another model that will fit ? I can find new ones but they say I'll need to wait 14 days ,and I need one for the weekend as I'm doing a long distance trail on Sunday.
So I've just changed a leaking fork seal and refreshed with new oil. Now we nipped up the 14mm base valve nut at the bottom of the forks with the idea of fully tightening when the fork is back on the bike. We can't get the nut to tighten and it sounds like somethings spinning inside to fork. So a bit of digging...
Hello! I'm Nev and I'm a fairly recent convert to riding. I bought my TTR last year from Wales having only ever really ridden a classic C50 moped. Bought knowing not a lot about them, I've since come to love trail riding and have become very much attached to my little Raid! Me and a few mates are going trai...
It says "Removing the carb can be quite a big job if the air box is removed first.". Actually that's the easy way to do it. I think this should say "Removing the carb can be quite a tricky job if the air box has not been removed first and you don't know the technique, but it can be done without damage to the in...
So a simple (ish ) job has become a nightmare! I was torquing the lower pinch bolts up to spec and was just thinking wow that's tight and snap doh. Any advice how to remove and where to get said bolt? Its the lower yoke pinch bolt top bolt ( caliper side. I cant seem to upload a photo? D
I just purchased a 2002 TTR250 I took apart my carb for cleaning and I noticed when putting it back together that the check valve that sits in the bowl is missing. Before, the bike was running poorly. Im not sure if the valve fell out when I was cleaning it, or if I bought it that way. Could the poor running b...
Selling my 2004 Yamaha TTR250. Lovely little bike for a first trail bike and has served me well. It’s done roughly 18k miles and has 12 months MOT. It has been used as intended, off-road, so it’s no show pony. That said, it scrubs up well enough and it has been looked after in my ownership. Work done in my ow...
Hi, i would like to enlighten me in a strange issue : after light signs of cracks on tank cap rubber seal and leakage from the keylock barrel, gas cap of tank was changed on TTR '97. After the change, engine switched on and drive about 200m to garage with tank filled by 1/3. Petrol tap has turned off and bike...
I just purchased a 2001 TTR250 in California. Previous owner said it was originally from Colorado and hadn’t been ridden in about 20 years. That being said, anything I should take care of right now? Tires are old so I know I have to take care of that, carb was just cleaned. Also I heard these bikes come in m...
Hi. Lately I hear a strange sound in the engine from my TTR250, it is a model from 2005 with over 30000km. One friend (a mechanic) said how it was probable the timing chain but I am not sure. I will try later put the sound here. Mostly I hear it more when the engine starts and it is not specially hot. If the timi...
Spotted this on a TTR sales site in China..does any one know if it will fit and is it an easy fit. It says it's a Piagio oil cooler - about 40 pounds... will it fit - any ideas? Daz

I find it difficult to shift up when standing on my TTR250, and I'm wondering if a shorter shift lever might help. Time to replace the lever anyway as I bent it yesterday. Does anyone know for sure of any shift levers from other bikes that will fit on the TTR 250? I've searched for aftermarket TTR 250 ones b...
Hi all, My seat is missing all of the foam damper pads from the bottom. This means there is a lot of play in the seat when fitted and it rubs on the petrol tank (to the point that I had to get the tank welded as it had rusted through). Is there any specific type of foam / sponge that I should use to fit new dampers?...
May break this Raid if enough interest for various bits message me. it would be a shame as a good little project as a complete bike for someone UK REG1999 but believe it to be a 1994 models, I bought these bikes early 2024 so my daughter and I could ride Vinduro events of which we have done 5 over the past e...
The gear on my starter motor got shredded. i replaced the sprague clutch, and the 1st gear attached to the starter...a reduction gear...it had some wear too... i put a new starter on there. It still has issues...i am starting to shred this new starter motor. I am wondering if anyone here has dealt with t...
Hi, Apologies for the long post that follows. As the title says, my OE tilts to the right when taking hands off. It does so at all speeds and even when hands on, I still have to sit to the left side of the seat. As it's my only vehicle and I do long distances with it, it is pretty annoying and tiring having to ti...

Hello all! on a whim I picked up a 2006 TT-R250 this month at an auction. Super clean. trip odometer says 105 mi. Hoping that is all it has on it. Wouldn't run without the choke on even after the auction house stated "Runs Great".... cleaned the carb and now she is good to go (1 little grain of something in...
Well, it had to happen, the wee yin’s cost me money. Apart from tyres I’ve had zero expense for 20 years so no histrionics from me. MOT FAILED! Rotten exhaust pipe + hole in silencer which I thought 🤞might justneed re-packing. Yamaha parts £300 approx, Dominator (from Poland) parts + del. £150 Quality...
Hello folks. Very pleased with my new(ish!) 1995 Raid, lovingly restored by the previous owner. Took it out for a proper run in the Devon lanes today after delivery last week: didn't miss a beat, such a great bike - feels much lighter and more nimble than the CRF300L I had a couple of years ago. -- Edited...
Wanted Raid model (with the round headlight). Lower mileage / reconditioned engine, quieter exhaust preferred (if possible). Based in Exeter. Cheers 🙏 -- Edited by DevonTTR on Tuesday 27th of May 2025 12:25:03 PM
