I don't think I have posted this article up before but, if I have apologies for this duplicate. Robin Webb has been a long time fan of the TTR and has had a lot of adventures on his bikes.
There has been a lot of talk about the benefits of the shorty header pipe on the TTR , but all the evidence anecdotal from magazines and rider impressions. General consensus is a 2 hp gain with the shorty. That's decent, about 10 % on a TTR. Recently Kiwi Jeff offered his opinion on his shorty header af...
Searching for a good condition / good price silencer for a 2003 TTR. Slip on wanted, easy to fit for Tech Inspection... Not too noisy, so that I can use it to go to beach in sunny days ¿ Cheers from Basque mud !!
Hey guys! If I have blue TTR, and I want it to be white (plastics), would it be better to paint or wrap? As far as Iam concerned, the tank cant be wrapped, because it start to bubble after time. Is it possible to get a nice matt white finish at home? The frame would be painted by professionals. Does anyone...
After looking at a brand new but oldish stock TTR that stood at a dealer for months I finally decided on buying a DR650 which I rode for nearly 7 years. On a back road trip with a friend on a GS1200 I realised that the DR was still too heavy for my liking. I went looking for a TTR...no luck new and no nice ones 2nd...
I finished overhauling my TTR a little over a year ago, still have some cosmetics to do. I love this motorcycle and it’s been one of the best years of my life.
I just bought a new FMF Q4 slip on exhaust, and thought I would remove the header pipe and clean it up while I had the muffler detached. Though the retaining nuts and plate came right off, there doesn't seem to be enough clearance to actually remove the pipe. I can't pull it forward enough to clear the main...
My buddy sold all his stuff and skipped town this summer so I had to take this old bike off of him, couldn’t let it go. Unfortunately, I also skipped town and had to leave it behind until I can go back to get it in the spring. 1980 Kawasaki LTD 750 just needs a couple gaskets, new tire and a blinker relay
Hi there Ladies and Gents!I amn’t a big poster on here (I just tend to stalk around in the background!) but wondered if anyone could offer a bit of advice.I want to update my TTR’s lighting to LED, but I hear all sorts of tales about how you can’t just switch incandescent bulbs out for LED’s. What is your ex...
Looks like yahoo are winding down groups . Got an email to download all data before it goes . Does anyone know will this mean that the forum will eventually be gone or is groups and forum seperate .
Je me présente, je m'appelle clément, j'ai 27 ans et je suis le propriétaire d'un 250 TTR de 2005 depuis moins d'un an! Je suis du sud-ouest de la France près de Bordeaux. Je viens sur ce forum pour échanger avec des possesseurs de TTR et vous faire partager ma petite expérience. J'ai déjà eu une douzaine...
Hi, I've just been out on my 350cc rebuild after treating the bike after it took me to Nepal from the UK last year. I am planning on riding across Russia from home in 2021 and really would like to retain some sense of hearing. I have repacked my jardline exhaust and fitted a small db killer but it's too lo...
Hi, I am looking for a fuel tank in any condition. (just to use when going for heavy off roading in order not to damage my original and pristine Raid tank) Anyone has one for sale (cheap)? Thanks
I'm a RAID owner with a standard rear shock unit that looked as though it had never been touched. Given that my bike is a 1994 model, time for a strip down, clean and oil change etc. I acquired an old standard rear enduro shock unit from ebay and decided to strip both units down simultaneously, so that an...
So I bought these levers on Amazon. It said that it is compatible with the ttr 250 up to 2013. I've installed the clutch lever with no problem but cannot figure out how to install the brake lever. It does not seem to be compatible. Any ideas?
This happened to me Sunday I have a little pond in the garden near 3000 gallons ok yes laugh I keep Koi as a home hobby and have a youtube fish channel to boot. Well Sunday I had finished filming the video for the week and left the camera running as I was feeding the fish for some back ground shots and a Bird of p...
Hello all. I recently tore down my carb and cleaned it out because it had been sitting for a year and a half. I got it installed and put the bike back together, but when i turn on the pet****, gas comes out of both overflow lines. is it possible that i bent my floats?
I have checked and re-checked but cannot find a direction arrow on the sidewall of the tyre I am about to fit. Makes me think maybe the D605s are reversible. Anyone know for sure please? Can't find anything on Google It would be nice to get this job done now as the tyre and workshop are warm Brian

Over the years I have come across many wheel rims that have corroded on the inside next to where the tube valve and/or rim lock fits. Water (and maybe even salty water in the winter) gets in and starts the corrosion. The best way to prevent this happening is quite simple. Fit seals to the tube valves and a r...
Recently purchased from a friend a 2006 TTR 250. New MOT and first ride revealed the tyres are a bit old and hard and the forks may need some lighter oil in them. I was pinging off most things up front. Picture to follow. Jez
