When I sit on one i noticed its higher then others i.e seat and ground clearence. i tried to find the difference, i replaced rear shock absorber to another ttr but it didn't make any difference. then after some time i wanted to change worn rear tire. The tires are the difference! pirell...
one of mine ttrs bogs on high rpm around 6500-7000. It seems like I hit rpm limiter, engine doesn’t reach full power. My second TTR reach top high rpm without bogging. I took these parts from second ttr and installed on first: 1. Carb with fuel hoses and one way valves 2. Cdi 3. Ignition coil 4. Spark plug 5...
Does anyone know of upcoming or recurring adventure, dual sport, or enduro rides along or near the Atlantic Coast of the United States? There are a few harescramble and cross country races and series but I'm looking for a more casual riding event rather than competition. This type of event usually re...
Google translator If I put the ttr on the right side, can I unscrew the oil plug? Does the oil leak? I want to replace the copper pad because I have a leak.
Hi, I'm not a fan of Chinese items however it happened I have head and cylinder gaskets for price of 7£. The head gasket is very thin and without teflon. Yamaha gasket I think has two or three gaskets stamped and painted with teflon. Has anybody tried chinese gaskets? See photos. -- Edited by honda15i on...

Ok I messed up! Somehow I managed to damage the thread in the float bowl for the drain screw. I must have put it in cross threaded. I the drain screw itself is damaged but more worryingly is the thread inside the bowl. Any suggestion what to do? Rob
Hi Anyone knows if a stator from a later model wold fit? IE the year 1999? Having problems finding av stator for my bike from 1994. Thanks Per Arne Bustnes Norway
Hi All I recently bought a TTR250 that was imported to Madagascar from Europe about 10 years ago. Before last week I knew nothing of TTR's. I noticed that mine has no indicator lights nor brackets to accommodate them. It does, however, have an indicator switch on the handlebar. I don't have any of the o...
Hi guys, Small problem with the compression damping clicker on the reservoir of the rear shock on my bike. It doesn't like to turn or click It rotates a few degrees either way but seems to be pretty stuck and I don't fancy forcing it. This is the closest picture I have of it currently, any ideas as to whats u...
Hi All, Im considering putting together supermoto kits to sell and was wondering how much interest there would be if I did. The kit would likely include some or all of the following: Wheels Front and rear wheels (second hand, but with new seals/bearings) Oversized front disc standard rear disc Cust...
I thought it might be interesting to post up some of the TTR nasties that I have come across so that worse case scenarios can be viewed. Please feel free to add your own. First off, how about this for a home-made timing chain tensioner? Or a delaminated standard case saver? Or a valve seat that fell out?...
What is this seal? Is it a seal? It's not shown on the Yamaha Parts Finder microfiche that I access on line. I forgot - 2002 TTR in Oz. The bolt behind drains the oil from the left side exhaust cam well.
I now have the V5 for the bike so I can continue full steam ahead with the project. I have attached a few jobs that I did today. I cleaned the carb in a parrafin bath then let the ultrasonic cleaner do it's magic. I think this is the best I will get it and I'm happy. I'm going to service the carb as the gaskets are...
Hi guys, the right tank decal is blistered, anyone had this, tried to work the air out but it keeps coming back, this bike is pretty tidy apart from this decal, checked with Yamaha & they want $586 for the pair of decals....no way I have ordered a set of Ballards decals for $60 but may put them away for a...
Hi Occasionally my TTR would make a clunk when you switched it off perhaps once in twenty times. Just recently this seems to be getting more frequent so much so that I have just come home from a Dales ride a day early as I didnt want to do any damage to the engine having just rebuilt the top end. I guess now it...
My 04 blue plastic tank has become completely non-gas (as in vapour, not as in American petrol!) proof, which I think is due to ethanol in fuel these days making the plastic go porous to gas, as detailed on other websites. The OE stickers bubbled off and new stickers soon followed. The tank is complet...
Hi - thanks for the add ! Just joined up as I have bought a TTR250 a couple of days ago - 2007 model. First job will be to change the tyres and reduce the height a bit as I am a bit short in the leg for this bike ! Member of the mid Wales TRF and normally ride old Yamaha XT500's, but have decided they are not up to the j...
