Hey Guys, new member here. Got myself an 05 TTR250 about 3 months ago and its got roughly 8500km on it. My issue is it seems to burn approximately 100ml of oil per 180km (1 tank of fuel). It doesn't noticibly smoke, however if I leave it idle then give it a rev I can see some bluish tinged smoke out the exhaust...
TTR250 - set up as Mini adventure tourer. 22lt tank (Zen mounting kit), Renthal Bars (Jimmy Button high bend), grip warmers, gripper seat cover, DID chain (14/47 sprockets which is a great mix - does 100kmh easily but isn’t over geared for the trail) with less than 600kms, serviced regularly (oil ch...
Hello from Australia. My names Luke and I'm new to forums. My son has 2011 ttr 50 and my daughter has a yamaha 80.I have a ttr 250 1994 model. It is very orginal and has 2000 kms on it, like brand new really. I have got the old girl going again and discovered an oil leak in the stator and flywheel side cover. T...
Now that I have ticked off all the green lanes locally my thoughts are turning towards travelling further afield - say greater than 70 miles away from home for more adventures. Can't afford a van or towbar/trailer etc so its got to be on the TTR. I'm finding the roadwork can be a bit tiring with the win...
Brian... Now that the TTR is a discontinued model.... where do you see this form going.. XT660.com has shut down as the XT660/Tenere like the TTR are now discontinued ... Made me wonder about this forum... maybe Yamaha Duel Sport form... really there are only a hand full of regular posters on this form...
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.
