My bike wasn't started for a while now, I did a carb cleanup and replaced the fuelling issue, but now it feels like it doesn't suck air in but the exhaust side works, can this be a valve being stuck? Or a timing chain issue? I don't want to open the engine, it's hard to find the gaskets here
Got out again today on the TTR, 160kms around the Adelaide hills dirt roads along with the odd summer track. Not nice weather with a high of 15c & showers, dressed for it & was dry & warm. The TTR feels great, still have to take it easy with my hand which I may add is bloody painful, I am hoping ri...
From April 2020 ALL new motorbikes / scooters in New Zealand must have ABS... I think there will be quite a few duel sports that will no longer be imported... DR650 for one.. ..
Two parts to this. I laid my bike down and cracked my gas tank and need to replace it. So I'm looking to purchase one if anyone has one available. On a side note, I had considered trying to repair it myself using JB Weld or some form of plastic welding, but I'm hearing that it can be tricky, especially on gas t...
Put rego on the TTR this morning & took her out, didn't want to over do it so I did around 60-70kms. Was good to be out on the TTR & first ride for two months. The TTR is a little easier on my body than the WRR & at least I can pull the clutch in on the TTR I also changed the gearing back to stock & it...
Some of the text here is a straight copy from my "modernising" thread but I am aware that different owners will look at different threads so please be patient with the repeated info. I have just finished a long restoration project on a dead standard blue 2003 TTR that hasn't been on the road f...
Hello my name is Konrad and I new here! I just new here and I wanna ask about Yamaha TTR250. It is gonna be good for beginner? The motorcyclescreens.eu brand inspired by the idea of an ambitious motorcycle fun was created to produce a wide range of Yamaha windscreens and deflectors for motorcycles wh...
Hi all, I'm looking for clarification please. I've read in a few posts in here that the top piston ring is the ring with the marking. As I see it the only ring that will have a certain orientation, and thus require marking, is the scraper ring - because it's important what way the taper faces.However the T...
Rode up-to gingers creek and back today lots of dust a wide range of tracks good to get the ttr out a bit further since its rebuild. The first 125ks it took 4litres to fill back up supprised me abit . Checked out the old gold mining sites along the way and rode the Doyle's river forest for the first time a grea...
Unlikely I know but anyone got a scrap blue frame and willing to cut off the front and rear tank mounts for me to weld on my purple frame that I am using for my 350 build? If so, please PM me and we can work something out Brian PS These are the bits I need:
Hello, always thought a ttr250 would be a good addition to bike family. Picked one up for my son and we’ve been having a great time going thru it Until today we found 2 broken cam caps (left side small ones) so I joined and posted a wanted ad. ive been around MCs most of my life and enjoy working on, riding...
Well, it's been a while everybody! I just wanted to let all you fellow TTR enthusiasts that all has been well except for a split intake stub. I discovered this one day when I went to adjust the needle in the carb, and the stub separated in two when I tried taking the carb out. No worries, I simply ordered a ne...
Hi all, sorry if this has been asked many times before, but what is the usual distance you can travel before going onto reserve when off-roading. I appreciate a lot will depend on the terrain and so on, but would I be right in thinking about 100 miles or that is that asking a lot ? Thanks in advance for your c...
Hello.I have an upcoming 3 days ride in the mountains in june.I had some oxford saddlebags from when i was touring with my tl1000r.I decided to build some racks to be able to mount them on the ttr.I used 5mm ss rod.I could believe how strong it is.I will be incorporating a place behind the right rack to mou...
Having read Punkawalla's thread, I decided to do the conversion. We live about 1/2 mile down a bridle path which is pretty rough, and I am a retained firefighter, so sometimes I have to travel down the lane a little more rapidly than is healthy for normal 4 wheeled vehicles. So thought a trail bike would...
I have a 99 TTR250. I noticed a semi-wet spot, nothing major, on my engine black and began to investigate. I noticed this weird part sticking out of the engine and I assumed it was something stock, but after further research and reading through the service manual, there is no mention of this. What could...
hello, bonjours, I'm looking for this cache. --------------------- I changed the engine.I found a 1996 engine.my old engine is from 1999. I do not have the same cache output transmission.---------------------
Hi folks, My wifes miserable flea-bag ate the seat on my TTR today. Paddy Dakar is fast approaching and now I have no seat for the bike. The TTR Shop has the seat covers and they are available on EBay but does anyone have a seat sponge for a 250 Enduro 1993 ? Please include price of shipping to Ireland. Than...
Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone's ever experienced a similar issue, and could offer advice? I've got some oil blowing/leaking out the front of the engine block from the header-pipe intake. Please see pic attached (you can see the dark oil patches on the fins of engine). I initially thought i...
I have a favour to ask of anyone in Australia: I have just bought a Husqvarna TE610e. 2000 era model. Electric start, proper oil filter, balancer shaft motor. Absolute animal (but nothing like as good as my TTR in the tight stuff). Anyway, it has a measly european spec 9 litre tank but our fortunate cous...
Just bought this Husky TE610E. Why? 'Cause I've never had one before! Hell it's quick, but it's no match for the TTR in the woods. No steering lock and a bit heavy, but it's a bit of a hooligan given some space. I'd like a bigger tank for it (see the wanted section) Thought I might use it for longer tours than...
