Hi guys, I’ve just got my first proper bike, a 1997 ttr250 open enduro, I’m gonna tidy it up a bit, starting with plastics. On totallyttrs theres 2 side shrouds that im looking at buying and also a front mudguard. The side shrouds look the same shape and have the mounts in the same places, I’m just wonderi...
Youtube gave me this to watch this morning. If my translation skills are correct, they are testing the suitability of their TTRs for a trip to Morocco... Could do with brushing up the hill climbing skills, and try standing up occasionally,...
Hi All just to let you know, we are keeping the shop open at present, for online orders only. We will also be posting just once a week on a Wednesday, this is to limit our movements from the house. Apologies for any inconvenience. Stay safe Steve and Lisa
First day out this year, my son is "in college" which of course is now just online but costs the same We had a few days of great weather and since its pretty easy to ride 6 feet apart we figured this essential activity was ok. Single track takes your mind off the apocalypse. 70 degrees when we packed it up...

Just an introduction, I'm REALLY happy I found this awesome forum first off! I bought my 1999 TTR 250(L)C in my home state of California(SF Bay area-ish) a couple years ago. Poor thing was sitting outside in the rain, sun and salt water right next to the Bay for several years. She was in bad shape and I, in...

Hey everyone, Some background: Last summer I bought a junky TTR because I wanted to learn some mechanics and get to know my motorcycle better through indirect practice. This TTR wasn't running when I bought it, but I did some work and cleaned and rebuilt the carb and got it running. I did a complete top e...
Hey all! So I bought a totally junked 2002 TTR 250 for dirt cheap awhile ago and have been slowly rebuilding it. Upon installing the starter I got a little confused as to some wiring and where the breather hose is. In the picture below, you can see that I have the starter wire attached to the top of the star...
Hello, I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. The tank on my 2001 Ttr250 was cracked pretty bad and I tried to repair it but in the end I wasn’t successful. It has spiderwebbed cracks all over and when it has gas it expands and they explode. Do any of you know another tank that will fit it...
Hi all, just got my 94 Raid and I'm in need of longer legs Spoke to a surgeon and he wasn't keen on stretching them for me, reckoned it would be a bit painful Cheeky bugger suggested stacked boots like the guy in Grease wore So it looks like the Lowering Link route is the one for me Do any of you gentlemen have o...
Hi, I seem to have a random starting problem on my '93 Raid. Sometimes when I press the button its completely dead, its not the battery because I can try it again 10 minutes later and its fine. All I can think its bad contacts on the starter button. Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, fellow TTR riders! I am Pedro, and I'm from Portugal. Just bought a 1997 TT-R 250, open enduro model, 4GY. Still on "learn mode" to take the best advantage of the bike, and to provide the proper care to a 23 y/o machine. Ride safe!

On the subject of rebuilding the rear shock, has anyone ever removed the restrictor needle that is in the shock shaft? Does anyone know which end of the shaft it would or should come out if indeed it does come out at all. There is supposed to be an o-ring living in there from what i can gather but that is all i...

Hello. Somewhere but I can't find it. I have a hard front forks. Will the bottom screw fix it and how to do it? I don't want to do anything with oil. Thank you
The boys wanted a little practice in sand so I took them up along the old railway, they soon worked out they had enough & I re routed the ride. We had one guy come off on a fire track, he was out for the count for four minutes & all over the place. We called for the Ambo's I told them the best route so the...
My usual forest I ride in reopened after being closed for four months due to the fire Heading out now to check it out. It's been raining last few weeks so the mud skills will be fine tuned again. Will take a few pics

My bike is exactly the same as the purple one on the top left of the homepage although mine is nowhere near as tidy anymore. One of the reasons for contacting the forum is that I have a 1999 Grey impor...
