Hi all, I am trying to re-join the fold. I haven't posted here for a few years now, but am now trying to get my blue tanked TTR back on the road. After getting a very low compression reading from my hot engine (90psi) I had hoped that a rebore and lapping in of the valves would be all that was necessary to reviv...

Hi everybody! Longtime lurker, first time poster here. What a great resource for us owners. Chasing some advice before I strip down my ttr. I have a leaking base gasket that needs replacing. The breather isn't blocked, engine is not blowing smoke or have any other symptoms that would indicate othe...
I need some help determining the exact model of my TTR. The VIN is telling me that is a 1999 so I have that much down. I am trying to determine if I have a UK model or a US model. It has both electric and kickstart which, to my understanding, was only on the UK models; however, it does not have a speedo which shou...
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.

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...

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...
