Thought I would throw a new 14T sprocket on the front of the TTR, I went back from a 120-90 to 120-80 rear tyre with a 13T sprocket and as I want to use the TTR to reduce the KMS on the WRR Anyhow as soon as I removed the sprocket cover I thought the nut may be loose & yes as suspected it was loose, only just loo...
Hi, Had my TTR about 6 months and never had a problem with it until the last couple of weeks. I'm a pretty casual rider at the moment as i Go out alot with my son on his PW50 (he's 5) so maybe every 2-3 weeks. Have checked and charged the battery and replaced the spark plug (correctly spaced) but still the sam...
Well I pulled the trigger on a new Yamaha trail bike. I really enjoyed the restoration process of the TTR250 and felt like a new challenge. Currently a little rough around the edges but here she is: -- Edited by Benjah on Thursday 2nd of May 2019 10:14:33 PM
Hi all, When I removed the cylinder head from my 2003, blue tanked TTR250 a couple of weeks ago I found two washers under one of the four large bolts that hold the cylinder head down. The other three of these bolts each had only one washer each. All the parts diagrams that I can find on line show only one wash...
I am trying to make some space in the workshop and came across the cases under a cover that I had put back for my bother's big bore build. Sadly, he has hot his priorities muddled up and has allowed his house revamp to take priority so they are no longer needed. They have the matching "scratched" Yamaha num...
The Resurrection of an Unloved Motorcycle has started. The bike has been entombed in my basement for years and after a quick dust-off and preliminary inspection I discovered that it's in remarkably good condition. For background information: https://ttr250.activeboard.com/t65315848/new...

Morning All I spend the day yesterday replacing the bearings in the front and rear wheels, which apart from a few rusted spacers all went ok. I then moved onto the swinging arm 😫. 3 hours of hitting, heating and screaming and finally the bearings were removed. I then tried to gently knock one bearing i...
I heard a rumour that there is now a porous wrap available for plastic fuel tanks - ie doesn't bubble up with the fuel vapour coming through. I can't find anything on the web though. Anybody know anything? Simon.
Due to a lack of time to ride, Ive decided it's time to sell. £1195ono The bike has had a good going over by RN motorcycles and runs well, a few cosmetic flaws as you would expect for age and type of use.

Hi all I passed my MOD 2 (4th and final test after CBT, theory and MOD1 🙄) On Monday , so I'm now all legal. Bike is All legal,but I'm just struggling finding BOATS in the S Wales Area. I'm surrounded by mountains but they are all public footpaths and forestry roads. I can spend 8 hours on these roads and se...
Lovely day and improved by a trail ride around the SE corner of the Dartmoor National Park with my brother Trev on his TTR, Jim on a Djebel, Kev on his Honda 250 and Mike on his kickstart-only DR350.From start to finish the day was nearly 8 hours. We covered a total distance 91 miles and rode 24 lanes.It tak...

So my wheels have a number of holes in the rims. I assume for rim locks as I can't think of anything else. I don't have rimlocks but will the holes cause issues? Won't the inner tube try to get out? It hasn't done as I've pumped them up but i wouldn't want it to change it's mind at speed. If they need blocking u...
Went out today on the WRR, testing out my new boots, 170kms around the dirt roads in the Adelaide hills, 75% of the ride was dry & then it poured, quick stop to put my under jacket on, good traction & some lovely twisty roads, came across a couple of riding buddies so we had a chat. Couple of photos f...
Took the ttr out its rained just enough to lay the dust so a bit different with some bits being a little slippery a combination of fire trails single track and not quite tracks Great start to the week -- Edited by ttboof on Monday 10th of June 2019 02:58:48 AM
Thought it was time to put up a build thread on my TTR. I got it as a low km tidy stocker with a GYTR pipe.. I bought purely as a trail bike for my then teenage kids to ride in the bush. I had recently downsized from a series of 250 2 strokes and 400's / 450's to my first Yamaha, a WR250F. 250 four strokes a...
A great wee first over night trip away a couple of weeks back! First of many, I hope - lots of fun!! A good mix of bikes too - everything from an Africa Twin to a Honda 125!! https://youtu.be/tRsu8xdthY4
So I recently did a service on my TTR after I bought it. The manual says 10w30 or 20w40, but I went with 10w60 (local motorcycle store is pretty high end so they mostly cater to hardcore enthusiasts). Is this ok? I've read on some online forums that it may cause more wear over time on low temps like at startu...
Hi All I went for my first ride on the bike after building the new one and I ditched the lowering link this time. First ride without one. AND holy hell doesn't that make a difference. It shocked me (nice pun Leigh!!) how different it was. I've always ridden with a 2" lowering link and thought the bike h...
Hi, I fitted the jets from the all balls kit, however the bike is running rough. it accelerates ok but pops through the silencer, on steady throttle it hesitates but no prblem starting. it takes a bit of time sometime for the tickover to settle down. Rob
Yet another problem I have encountered.... I have serviced the carb (ultrasonic cleaned and All balls service kit fitted) and the bike sounds and runs lovely....until I hit a long strech of uphill road in high gear and the bike eventually cuts out. It seems the carb is being starved of fuel. The bike wi...
Hi all,During deceleration/over run I get a popping/backfiring. The engine also hunts when I'm at low load/low revs. It also jerks when I'm just rolling the throttle - such as rolling up to a T junction and gently pulling away without stopping. Everything is fine when I'm loading up the engine wi...
