Knowledgable enthusiast semi professional sought. Hi all, I'm looking for a keen amateur or part time semi professional TTR 250 mechanic for work on my engine. A very knowledgeable TTR guy, or lass, that has stripped and rebuilt the engines many times and really knows their way around one. I'm not...
I thought I would upload an easy way to install an on/off switch for the head-light. The reason I have done this is because the Cobra websites way is absolute hogwash (in my books). It gets the blue wires the wrong way on the switch in the diagram given. Also they ''butcher'' the main wiring harness? Rat...
After a winter of work and other commitments, I realised I had a window of opportunity to get away at the end of March for a while. Having a love for Morocco, a last minute "f**k it, I'm going" urge came over me and a ferry to France was booked. Too last minute for anyone else to come, and I was feeling antisoc...
At last a problem with the TTR, near side fork oil seal badly gone, looks a fairly straight forward job, just wondering best place to get the seals and what oil to use. and anything I should be aware of. thanks.
I managed to pull the switch end of the clutch / ignition lockout switch out of the lever assembly. And it wont go back in. Nah, she's stuffed, mate. Is there any method of disabling the clutch lockout? Otherwise, I'll just try & wire in something to hold the pin inside the cable in. Meaning the...
Been a long time since posting, & a seriously wet spring + health issue (gout! in gear change foot) meant seriously restricted biking. Anyway I’m fit enough to get out again and the wee bike has been a star. Thought outside storage had knackered battery but Optimate did the business. However, eit...
I am currently building a 2004 TT250R engine but I am not sure what goes in the two holes pointed to in the attached picture. The holes are behind the clutch and the only picture I can find in on the TTR250 website and they look like rubber patches, the top one appears to have a smaller hole in it. My best gues...
Hi and thanks to Brian the forum moderator I couldn't make a new account so an email to him and I got an account, I joined because I have bought my first dirt bike it happened to be a 1995 TTR250 Open Enduro, well I bought a $300 Honda CT125 first to learn a thing or two from and it was only a farm bike it never got...
I want to try a more enduro type headlight on my Raid, I’d put the Raid one back on for winter use at is it does create a really good beam but I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the aesthetics of it, sometimes I think it looks great and other times I don’t I’ve found and read a load of threads about up...
I am looking at buying a carby rebuild kit for my 1995 TTR250 carby but I cant find one, I have found kits for 1999 to 2012 carbies from All Balls they seem the same as far as the carby bowel gasket goes and the same for the top gasket where the slide is housed but for the rest of the kit I dont know if its compatib...
I am in the process of putting the engine back together, having had the bore de glazed and new piston rings installed: the instructions indicate to fit an 'O' ring on the base of the cylinder and the new gasket below the 'O' ring. Is this correct; it doesn't feel like that will make a good seal! The 'o' ring...
Hi everyone! Bought a ‘94 Raid about 6 months ago and have been riding it over here and over on the big island doing some southern TET sections. Coming from a KTM 690 supermoto I’m loving riding off road (have been riding mountainbikes for about 10 years) and the very useable power Have done a few upgrade...

Hello all. Just wondered if anyone had ever had a problem with a slight leak in the carb when standing and not even running. I think (not sure at all) it may be coming from the lid where you access the diaphragm (photo attached). I took the carb off and then tightened everything up. However, still leaki...
Does anyone know if the rear wheel from a TTR225 will fit the TTR250? There don't seem to be many TTR250 rear wheels this side of the Atlantic; but I could get a TTR225 one if it is the same size.....
My fuel tank has rusted through from where the seat has been rubbing on it. Previous owner must have left it bare metal like that for quite a while and there are two holes on the one side. I've attacked it with a wire brush attachment and this is the result: What would you all recommend I do to fix this? I h...

Just started a couple days ago, noted that my speed was fluttering by up to 20kph, now, wildly. I even saw it at 170kph today which is obviously impossible. Can some wise head advise, is this likely to be the magnet in process of breaking up or the sensor malfunctioning?

Competing in vintage enduro yesterday and engine revs suddenly rose to run at about half throttle. Cables all ok and throttle returning to throttle drop screw. Completed lap by turning out throttle stop screw, but then the bike kept stalling at critical moments. Had to DNF. Carb recent overhaul, ne...
I thought my bike sounded a little loud on my last ride, turns out my exhaust was severed at the join with the header! Rusted through I need to get a replacement pronto - can anyone recommend a UK supplier? I'd rather go aftermarket than stock replacement unless it's super expensive. But if anyone know...
After several years delay (!), I finally completed my sidelined top-end rebuild. All new parts (Wossner piston kit), all machine work sent out to a first-class machinist, 1mm over bore, new valves, cam sprockets, cam chain, etc. Set cam timing meticulously. Before reassembly, I checked the big-e...
Ok. My TTR has developed an annoying habit. It has cut out a dozen times at idle over the past few weeks, so I'm asking for ideas on what might be causing it. Today I took it for a 10-15 minute urban run at 30-40 mph, a 2 mile return trip up a dual carriage way at +60 mph, and finished off with start / stop, 1/4 mil...
After doing the starter clutch & kick starter, I re-fitted the exhaust, as you do. Got the torque wrench onto the exhaust studs and it wouldn't tighten even on about 8 lb.ft. Oh well, **** happens. Any interim repair, other than helicoil? I have a spare head that I will have serviced and fit so I c...
