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...
There are a few areas of Devon that don't get ridden often as the lanes are quite far apart but today we gave some attention to the Tiverton area.We met at mine (me and brother Trev on TTRs, Jim on Djebel, Kev on Honda 250 and we met Mike (DR350) at our brunch stop in Tiverton.We rode for just over 5 hours, co...
Took the WRR out today for a loop around the dirt / gravel roads, first time I've ridden the WRR since breaking my ankle in the Victorian High country late March. Not great weather with a high of around 12c & showers, I missed all the rain until around 5kms from home so all good. Really enjoyed the WRR,...

Due to a lack of use (sorry - bought a KTM 400exc) I'm selling my 2004 TTR250. I purchased the bike in August 2011 (5 previous owners). Just over 12,000 miles, good condition, recent oil change, good tyres and chain, lowering link fitted (have original), sump guard, owners manual, some spares (CRD sil...
Hello good ttr folks, Edit: Upon checking back with reality I lowered the price to 2500. I'm selling my lovely blue ttr250. It's the 2001 model with just over 2000 original miles on the clock. The engine is virtually just run in and it rides lovely. Has been on the lanes but ridden responsibly and the TRF...
Went to start up this morning, cranked over, fired but did not catch tried again ,now cranking faster than normal no sign of starting. Checked with the kick start, by hand no resistance worth mentioning. Has anyone had this problem, there was no unusual noise at all and it was running perfectly w...
A mate (Big Jim) recently had the same op as me and had a stent fitted but had some additional issues so it's taken longer for him to get back on his trail bike. So a mutual friend (Hamster) arranged a gentle re-introduction to the lanes and I was delighted to be invited along as he really knows the local lan...
I'll consider anything especially after I've posted a question about what will actually fit my 1993 OE. Please send me a PM with what you have -- Edited by TTRfan on Sunday 26th of May 2019 10:50:35 AM
ok im thinking of getting a ttr 250 and turning it into a supermoto, so apart from the outlay of the bike I would need supermoto wheels and maybe a 325 engine upgrade and what else would be needed ? . and also I think I would want (seeing as im a shorty) is a lowering link preferably to be the same height as my se...
Greetings all, here's some geeky things to talk about, tell us all your favourite 2 Android or OIS apps and why. Make sure you put the authors name so you can get the right one. So many people cheat when a good app comes around and use the same name. My Phone, Sony T2 UltraOpen Source Camera By Mark Harmon...
So here we are after 8 years. As you can see it's nearly finished as I've put the tank rubbers on now. Actually a forum member who's name will be secret in case he gets inundated with jobs built the engine up for me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/zU2KcL...
For Sale. FMF MegaMax full exhaust, the header/downpipe appears to be stainless, and it is all in reasonable used condition. I never had it fitted to my bike, but believe it had been before I bought it, the bike is now gone to a new owner so I here it is. What is it worth, an oldie but an FMF all the same! I an o...
There has been a number of questions about changing the TTR's oil and filter so I took some pics of the oil change I have just done. I will explain how I do it but you may well decide to do things your own way. Warm the engine first as the warm circulated oil will drain more easily and carry any debris with it. R...
I have had little luck finding a replacement headlight bulb for the '00 US TTR. The local dealer *may* be able to get one in a few months for about $65 each - seriously? I have a Polisport Halo that I intend to fit at some point but I wanted to repair the existing setup for simplicity. Well... this is what I di...
Well the TTR still looks pretty good, I've had it for 5 years now, it still runs great. Took it around the block yesterday, 1st time I've ridden since breaking my ankle 7 weeks ago, riding is ok but stopping is still an issue or should I say supporting the bike on tip toes with my right leg is not good. She is s...
