Hello again.I'm preparing the bike for the new season and i'm about to order tires. Other people that ride in Greece recommend Dunlop, a d952 in the front and a d606 in the rear. I have searched the tire threads and i think the D606 Rear 120/90-18 65R will fit (chain adjuster is on number 8). I'm not sure h...
Hi there, I have searched for my problem on here and found a few comments within a different (unrelated) thread and thought for future reference and people it would be useful to have a separate dedicated thread. When starting my bike recently I have had a few loud bangs, once running the bike is fine. I...
So there I was, bike wheeled out from hibernation, started fine, (thanks Optimate) warmed up all ok. Wheeled back into garage while I decided on my outfit Back into garage, horrors Big puddle under engine, gunge from bash plate with a decided petrol stink. Much dripping from carb. Fuel line had a nic...
Ok everyone, I have finally nailed some proper good exhausts They are being made up for me by Phoenix exhausts in Devon, same as the shorty header pipe. Now they have been road tested and no re jetting is needed for standard TTR, just plug and play , Keith who was testing it liked it so much, he bought it! I...
This little tank arrived from India (via eBay) this morning. I am going to use it to test carb float levels and for leaks BEFORE putting the carb on the bike and save myself possible hassle I am also hoping that it'll save the inevitable spillages that occur whenever I try to do anything involving petr...
Or, to ask the question in a different way, does the bolt go in from the RHS (exhaust) of the bike or LHS (chain/sprocket side)? The manual shows it both ways
Caught up with my brother and nephews last weekend rode three days took the ttr out one day and the Dr two days the young guys were stuffed I didn't admit I was running on Panadol and coffee Was a great three days
Hi, So I am a bit of a mechanical newbie (first post here too). I have a TTR250, but it stopped running. So I decided to try and clean out the carb as the first thing I've ever done to a bike (or even a car). Seemed to go alright, but after putting it all back together it has started leaking petrol out of the brea...
for sale ttr 250 which has had a supermoto wheel conversion. Yzfr 125 wheels, had new sprag clutch and starter motor last year, new timing chain and shock rebuild and various bearings replaced a year ago. Speedo doesnt work. Electric start button doesnt always work. Plenty of mot left about 9 months....
1ST ride after the bushfires, 1st ride on the WRR for over 6 months, forgot how bloody good this bike is... Anyhow after 24 hours of rain got out today with my mate, low 20's & no rain perfect conditions couple of videos
Hi all. I now own a 1996 ttr250 and I really like it. I do have an issue with it tho. There is a black plastic sleeve that connects the carb to the head. I've noticed that it looks perished and bits falling off it. (On the head side) the engine ticks over okay but eventually it will make a big POP then cut out. I'...

Just a quick hello. I will soon be a proud owner of a TTR250 and have been eagerly trawling this forum for information. I hope to be around for some time. cheers Simmo -- Edited by Simmo on Wednesday 29th of January 2020 10:58:54 PM
as my bike is fairly new to me the previous owner cobbled up a rubber flap type thingy bob to protect the rear shock which worked fine until the fitting of a new ac10 tyre which after a ride in the peak district is now destroyed, my question is can you get a replacement or is it a Yamaha part only ? Ive tried pol...
The fork legs have been totally dis-assembled and the lower fork legs resprayed in hard wearing "wheel silver" All the parts have been thoroughly cleaned and are ready for re-assembly using a fork and dust seal kit I picked up from Totally TTR Towers yesterday - see here - the kits will soon be back in s...
Hi, I am trying to put the settings back to the standard setting, and the rebound adjuster says it should be "9 Clicks out". I have got myself confused and now wonder which direction "out" means. Is it out away from the spring, or out away from the lower mounting? Sorry if this is yet another daft quest...
Hi, The TTR was never a bike made in large numbers, therefore the availability of parts is not great. Over the last years i have been always looking for some other yamaha machine that could share the same engine, and therefore possibly extend the sources for parts. It seems like i found it! Found a yamah...
Hi and a happy new year to you all, Can anyone tell me what stops the kick start lever at the end of its travel when you kick down on it? On a friends blue tank model TTR250 the lever stops just before reaching the riders foot peg holder. I have the same model but my lever slams into the foot peg holder, and wh...
I bought a TTR a while ago that had been standing unused and unloved in salty sea air next to the Somerset coast for over 10 years. It certainly showed all the signs of neglect as you will see from the photos! All the plating has eroded leaving the fasteners rusty and, I am guessing, nicely seized into posi...
This forum is great, last 4 years I've found everything I've needed to know without posting. Thanks! Anyway, thought I'd sign up. I live in Mid-Wales & ride a 90s OE. It's been a brilliant bike for me, I ride on & off road, open hill, single track, green lanes & it goes everywhere my mates do o...
My b-i-l Keith's exhaust fractured between the header pipe and mount. He managed to repair it using a small length of flexible exhaust pipe with an inner diameter of just over 41mm. This meant he could use a standard TTR graphite exhaust gasket at each end. Ideally he needs smaller clamps. Not sure tha...
Bough a 2003 TTR250, whoever tried to service carb before me stripped and pinched off (with pliers) the accelerator pump nozzle jet. You cant buy this part and it doesn't show on the exploded ipc diagram. Anyone have a fix or a carb they don't need?
Greetings, I have a 2001 US model with the OE yellow spring. The FAQ states: "standard OE yellow springs have a spring rate of 4.9 kgs/mm - allegedly!" . https://www.racetech.com/ProductSearch/12/Yamaha/TTR250/2001
See Yamaha have released the revamped Serow, lot of familiar parts there. Tubeless rear wheel, should have good range. Wonder if any future accessories like racks etc would fit the TTR. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V92ppUbaxGM
