I've got for sale a rack I brought off of Simon from this forum for my trip to Nepal. The rack is solid, not too heavy, and not massively big. Its never let me down. It's in very good condition the only issue is where some off the powder coating got rubbed off by my bags. As Simon had it fitted to his bluey it we...
Im due to change out the drive shaft seal and gear selector seal tomorrow. I have spares that came with a bike, all appear good. Is there anything I should be particularly wary of or are there any "pro" tips I should employ!- I saw Brian had advised someone on this before- possibly using 2 seals fro the dri...
Hi all, Dan here from Perth, Australia (originally from Kent, UK). Just got my TTR250 yesterday and it's my first bike other than a few rides of an old DT175 years ago and needed something to keep up with my 5 year old on his PW50 and have a bit of fun on. Looking to mainly ensure I keep the bike in really good c...
Hey all, ive just rebuilt my 2000 model ttr250 Top to Bottom (new carb intake boot included) I’ve cleaned the carb as upon intial ride after the rebuild there was a flat spot under load which turned out to be a blocked leak jet for the AP pump, now all is running well with the exception of it surging when he...
Just bought a blue TTR250 and have been reading reviews and various posts here in the run up to the purchase which has proven to be very useful and interesting. Still finding my way around the bike, but apart from a loud aftermarket pipe i am very impressed and looking forward to riding it. Have a questio...
Hello chaps, I've looked everywhere here and can't find the link for the helicoil kit for the spark plug thread replacement, can you help please? Thanks chaps.
Hi all, I did search the forums but could only find info on frame paint. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for fork tube silver paint in aerosol form? Is there some type that better than others at taking the knocks and socks from stones etc? Polyurethane Vs acrylic? Is one better? Cheer...
Very interested to hear if anyone has owned more than one type of TTR250 . There are 3 of course raid/open/blue .I am interested to hear any opinions comparing one to the other or ride outs with more than one model...I know the difference in spec but experience is worth a thousand specifications (somet...
From what I've read on here, I have had a common problem as the speedo magnet broke into three. Luckily it didn't eat through the pickup sensor. I cleaned it up and glued the broken pieces back in and for added security put heat shrink over the top. With the heat shrink on there is a tighter fit in the casing...
I am currently running a modified (by previous owner) stock exhaust on my TTR 250. I'm happy with the performance and sound but it is on it's last legs. BTW I believe the modification removed some of the internal baffling to make it more free flowing. Recently I purchased an after market exhaust to repl...
No idea if this has been posted before or if anyone's seen it - if not, it's worth 4 minutes of your time to give you a giggle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpsqlbTuqAc
Hi, would one of these Polisport MMX Universal Headlight be easy(ish) to fit to my Raid or would the clocks get in the way, or wiring be a pain to sort out? I am not too worried about it not being as bright as the original round one that's on it now, but just think it will be less prone to damage when I ine...
Out for a very nice if slippery run on Sunday. A lot of rain previously meant our loverly chalk base was coming through the mud at times although the only tumble I had was of course mid puddle. Good to be out although my bike was involved in a near fatal stabbing which Salisbury police are aware of [url=...
Hello to all, can anyone tell me what MX rear fender will come close to fitting my 03 ttr250? i have read around the internet but cant really find a definitive answer. i heard someone say certain year YZ fenders would fit with modification and i have heard people say the same about certain WR250 fenders....

5 Years ago on this very weekend I brought the TTR home & now it has 17k on the clock, no issues with the bike at all. I took the TTR out today for two reasons, one it has rego I put on for the VHC & two trying to keep the kms off the WRR ( 18mts old & has 11k on the clock) Did some sand, gravel roads &...
Hello fellow TTR enthusiasts! I randomly bought a TTR250 for my wife in 2012. She immediately hated it and I should have known better - it's too tall for her first bike, my fault completely. It was used very little before I bought it and I rode it for maybe 10 minutes when I brought it home. I have stored it i...
So, I don't believe that any TTR250s sold in the US had a kick start. I would like to convert mine to dual start using OEM parts and I imagine the bits needed were likely used on other machines available in the US. Does anyone have information on this subject to share before I go digging? Maybe point to a thr...
4GY-14958-00-00 When I took off my accelerator pump cover it had a paper gasket. There is nothing on the parts fiche for this part, and I looked up the part and it doesnt look like it comes with one. It does have O-Rings. Does anybody know if these come with paper gasket as well? Is it Needed? Could have be...

Hi, I am trying to put some indicators on my newly acquired OE. I have had to replace the switchgear as the indicator switch was mangled. When I have tried to connect it all up I have found that even with the switch gear disconnected the brown and the brown and white wire that go into the flasher unit are l...

The letters are slightly different to those listed on the help page does anybody know if these will fit the front they are EBC FA135 TT. Also i need to replace the slide...
A Rally Raid CB500x. Built for a trans Pyrenees trip in June amongst other jaunts as the S10 is just too bloody heavy. This will be the cleanest it ever gets unfortunately . [url=https://flic.kr/p/2dytiTU][...
