My earlier bikes were: 1. Honda XR 250 1997 and 1998. They were reliable, pretty light, bulletproof. But had one minus - kick starter (that was pain in the ass when doing enduro riding), no electric starter. 2. Bought KLX 250s 2010. This one had injection and electric starter, was heavier than XR, had n...
What is the highest you have seen on a straight engine? I bumped into a fellow TTR rider at the weekend and he had 40k on his one. Although he told me it had 4 owners so someone may have done some engine work in it I guess...
Hi all, My bike starts okay however my cams are both slightly off level when tdc (single mark). I have recently replaced the cam chain (2000 miles Max) so wasn't too worried. Having rebuilt the bike to a 350 and using a air fuel ratio gauge I'm trying to ensure it's running nice however I'm having a bit o...
I've been having some trouble with my bike bogging down and cutting out when I apply the throttle. After a few chats and looking around I decided that it would be best to clean the carb. There was some build up and so I cleaned it no bother and put it all back together and slapped it on the big. When we went...
Hi, my Australian 2006 ttr250 has recently developed an oil leak which seems to be coming from underneath the starter motor. I have done some reading on the forum and understand that it could be a cracked generator cover case caused by the sprang clutch making a clack noise on shutdown and sending a sho...

Now that my TTR has got panniers to do shopping and we have been allowed out on our bikes now, thought I would blow the dust of the WRF and take her for a spin around my local lanes We both needed it!
Hi Guys, I have been buying the rear shock seal(seal head) and repairing the shock for 3 times now, but it ends up leaking. What could be causing the seal to get worn out fast? runs for like 3 months then starts leaking again. Can I use honda xlr 250 Rear Mono shock instead? Repairing the shock every three m...
Hi All, It has been a while since I last posted but I thought I would get back on the 'horse' - power that is. I have recently had to spend a lot of time getting my old TTR running again because of old fuel and a battery that is also getting old. Normally when I know it is going to be a while before I can get back o...
Back when we had no water and fires I said I'd never complain about rain again. The rain hasn't stopped for ages it's all green and can't see where the fires have been. Still enjoying the rain not sure about the mud Finding the metzler 360 on the back is still wearing well . I have said its slippery I'm th...
I have a 2006 TTR 250 that sat for a few years. After it was taken out of storage, the carb was soaked and rebuilt (All balls kit), fuel lines replaced, inline fuel filter replaced, etc. The pilot jet continually plugs up. I've had the carb off countless times (I've actually gotten pretty good at it)....
Hi, does anybody know where I can get the just the pet**** filters from? They‘ve all but disintegrated on my new project. They’re not listed as being able to purchase separately - I‘m going to install an in-line filter in the fuel pipe but as I’ve got the fuel tap off to clean the tank out thought I may as we...
with lock down relieved me and mate managed to get out on a few green lanes in Northamptonshire yesterday. Bone dry but still great fun. Saw quite a few other bikers and a 4x4 Suzuki. Great time. Neil.
G'Day, just joined the forum. I recently bought a little TTR 250 and am looking forward to having heaps of fun with it. It's not as flash as the ones shown on this page but I hope to get a good sticker kit and clean her up a bit.
Hi Team, I am not new to this forum, I had posted a while back that my rear shock keeps leaking after repairing it. Lasts a few weeks after I install a new seal head bought from Totally TTR. After riding for a month or so it starts leaking again. I have followed through the manual for repairing(shock repai...

Just the normal wearing on the bottom edge. I will take some better photos in the next couple of days I'm after £50 delivered or you can coll...
Hi. Thought I'd show you some pics of my coronavirus tinkering. Since I can't ride the trails I thought it an excellent opportunity to stop the rust taking over the back of my TTR. Had it not been for lockdown I'd probably not have bothered as I prefer to be out riding on a day off than being off the road bec...
