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
Hi all i’m In need of a lowering link to fit my 1996 raid might have to sell the bike unless I can lower it and I really dont want to i’m Ok when sat on it it’s just getting on and off. stupid dodgy hips from past misadventures lol any help would be gratefully accepted cheers Carl
So my TTR250 20016 blue model confuses me a bit. The only remnant of indicators is the indicator switch on the handlebar. There aren't even any holes or brackets where indicators used to be. Also no trace of a relay on the harness. So I've gone and bought LED indicators as well as the appropriate relay. I...
Just fitting a new set of D&D decals and started with the rear mudguard as it's the easiest to do. I haven't fitted decals for ages and it took a little while to remember the little tricks. Quite pleased with the result. Fork legs next, then side panels and tank.
Ahhh, 2km from home in rush hour traffic... Pushed it for a km to a local 7-11. Got a new cable coming tonight. Unfortunately I live at the top of a very steep hill....
OK – so this doesn’t feature a TTR tank but the principles will be the same! I went into my workshop one morning and it stank of petrol. The cause was a filler patch on the bottom of my BSA C15 petrol tank falling off and petrol dripping out of various pinholes where the tank had rusted through. Having attac...
Hi guys, please help, I just can’t seem to get the rubber seal from the generator on the crankcase to seal, it is, as they say”pissing out”. I’ve tried squirting gasket gunk round it, but so far to no avail. All sensible ideas welcome, cheers, Brad
and nearly put the TTr up for sale!!!!! It had sat in the garage unused since June and I had not ridden it since March. However, our bi annual trip to Normandy reminded me how bloody good these things are. So it is now in bits , orders placed with Steve, spot on service as usual, a few bearings replaced and ou...
Long time since I've been around here! Back on the TTR and have been noticing some odd gearbox behavior. Specifically, un-cooperative shifting gears when idling at standstill. Doesn't like going from Neutral to 1st or 2nd, or indeed shifting down from any higher gears if I coast to a standstill. Lev...
Hello to Everyone. Love the website, interesting members, and all of the precious knowledge being shared. Purchased my first TTR recently this past August. It was a 2005 with the original tires on it. Someone replaced the stock exhaust with an FMF and rejetted it, but it had a slight miss at mid-r...
Hi recently bought my TTR 250. The first ride revealed that the front end seems to ping off most things rather than suspend nicely. The original owner had put new seals on and replaced the oil for 7.5wt. I was wondering if anyone uses lighter wt oil such as 5wt to soften the forks? the tyre i noticed are in...
Bought a TTR in the UK from this forum a couple of months ago. Really enjoying it. Such a capable bike and ownership is made easier by all the helpful info on the site, so thank you all. The bike had been rebuilt a few years ago and includes some nice mods from totallyttrs.com First pic near Beachy Head star...
Hello all. New to the world of TTRs and new to this forum. I'm quite pleased to have found this site and the wealth of info contained within. I have been reading through and learning a lot from many of the threads. I do however have a specific question. I bought a non-running project bike and have thus far m...
Hi there does anyone have a spare oil pump pin for sale or know the dimensions? I have lost mine during the rebuild process. If you have the dimensions then potentially I may be able to use a hardened needle bearing (cut to size)? Thanks, I'm annoyed I lost mine!
Hi, not sure if I gave the right subject title. (bare with me) Hi all, Francis here from Kampala Uganda. A few days back bought another TTR250 Raid and even though the dealer suggested that its a 2000 model, I know its a 1994(will share pictures) I got the bike a few days back and my local mechanic suggeste...
Hi there, I am in the process of repairing the bearings in my crank cases whilst it is apart. I have used the oven to remove all bearing and replaced most of them however there are two which I am not sure about. I have tried getting my head around codes but I'm making no progress. I have 2no. I am looking for....
I have splashed out and bought a £25 Chinese Speedo off ebay. It came with no instructions but I have now wired it to show high beam, indicator left and right and neutral. Has anyone else used one and if so where did you mount the sensor and magnet and how did you calibrate the speed. I have made notes of the w...
My bike, after sitting for almost a year, would not get full power under full throttle First gear wasnt as noticable, but anything beyond that it seemed like it was choking on itself. Almost like a lope on a muscle car. I pulled the carb out, and I have a question about the accelerator pump thingy. Th...
i have a front & rear hubs for sale if any one interested. They will be good to build supermoto wheels to go straight into a TTR250 using the original spacers. I was going to do the same but changed my mind hence why they are for sale. John, Yorkshire area £120 for both
Anyone mounted a set of these on their TTR? https://www.rg-racing.com/browsetype/ClicknRide/ They look like a great idea, didn’t think they were too pricey either considering what I expected them to be.
Hi all, just bought a Raid to replace my Suzuki DR Big. It will become my commuter bike which I use daily to commute to the office and to rush around to various sotes I work on around london. Due to the new ULEZ (ultra low emissions zone) in central london which is due to expand to the north and south circula...
I found this instruction sheet whilst sorting out some graphics the other day and couldn't recall if I had ever posted it up before so, just in case I haven't. here it is!! If you, like me, struggle with installing the exhaust-side panel graphic then this might help. I can do all the others no problem bu...
Hi, selling my TTR after 5 years happy use. MOT runs until 21.8.20, advisories are "slight fluctuation of brake effort front" - a small ding from an off. Front pads close to limit. Real wheel bearing has slight play. I have All Balls replacements ready to go in. New Vapor speedo fitted about 4 years ago a...
