I do like my French jaunts so three days were recently spent in Normandy, conditions were spot on it having rained previously but the sun shining on us for the whole time. The river crossings were a bit touch and go and a few trees had to be persuaded to let us pass but thats just part of the appeal to me. For a...
I've done 2000ks on the ttr since the gearbox and engine rebuild and I can trust it again. Thank everyone for the encouragement I almost sent it off to the wreckers or sold it Goes well and back to getting away from it all . Did a few hours this morning
Hi all, newby to this forum from the Northampton area. Managed to find a relatively low mileage 2004 Blue and have had an enjoyable month or so tidying up and making it run right - mainly getting the carb sorted. Didn't realise until I bought the bike what a great resource there was here. Being 'short...
I recently picked up this 97 TTR 250. 5000k on the clock. Very neat condition. Never been registered. So I put all the rego stuff on it. Got a number plate for it very easily. Yay. Future mods planned when I find out if 'Blue' stuff is compatible as 'white' stuff. -Racetech or polisport headlight. Don'...
Kaos has sent me some quality scans of an ADB article from September 1996 of a shootout involving a big-bore TTR Apparently, Webby's supplied a 300cc "kit" back in the day and I would be really interested to know what the kit consisted of. Was it just a bigger piston/sleeve or was it a stroked crankshaf...
2018-ban vettem ezt a motort,helybeli kirándulásokra és erdőbe járni gombázni.Nagyon szeretem,mert nagyon megbízható,nyomatékos,kényelmes jó a futóműve és van önindító és berúgó is. Sokat dolgoztam rajta eléggé elhanyagolt állapotban találtam rá,főleg a futómű és karosszéria elemek vo...
Hi all, only noticed this yesterday, rode round the garden with no helmet on and noticed a slight rattle on over run. Not noticeable with helmet on, and when you start from cold it's fine, but rev it when warm and there's slight ticking/slight rattle right at bottom of rev range. Any idea's guys, not t...
Thought I’d share a couple of pics of last weekends ride with the NTRF . 4 river crossings and I had an off mid crossing . Luckily stalled it as I fell and exhaust did not submerge . Lifted bike to check but all good 🤘
I rode a 2006 TTR and really enjoyed it. I have a chance to buy one local now and it's a 1999. I'm in the US. Is there major model year differences between the 1999 and the 2006 in the USA?
Hi there, used the oil cooler from the UK to Nepal, worked fine, have everything including banking bolt to fit and increase that oil capacity. £140 one plus postage -- Edited by dlee22 on Sunday 3rd of March 2019 06:27:10 PM-- Edited by dlee22 on Monday 18th of March 2019 09:42:29 PM
I fitted a new chain and sprockets from the guys at Totally TTRs 6'ish months ago, fair bit of green landing done since. Chain seems to be wearing on something, any pointers please? The remaining links also show signs of wear, but not as bad as the link split pin.
just took the TTR for a spin. Stopped it, started again and it’s making just a single click noise. Battery is fully charged video: https://vimeo.com/324290036
Hi! I own Yamaha TTR250 Raid (1996) for 11 years. Ive bought her in 2008 and have ridden about 80 thousand kilometres. I always service and fix my bike by myself so I know her very well ))). I traveled on my Yamaha many times, mainly around Ukraine. Last year my wife and I rode to Greece through Romania, B...

Hi! A float bowl on my carb has a crack, so Im looking for that part. Perhaps someone has that one, or an old whole carb... -- Edited by Ruzhynskyi on Friday 15th of March 2019 11:11:02 AM
Alright, I admit it, I'm weird! I've been reading a lot about people stuffing the Honda CB500 twin into the CRF250L frame and I want to do a Yam version, so despite this being a TTR forum, I'm hoping someone might have wider knowledge of donor bikes (UK only!!) I'm after a steel frame WR250f/450f rolling...

Scorpion exhaust silencer for sale will need a adapting to fit as short pipe has the wrong bend, the bracket on exhaust is adjustable I don't need it as it came with my ttr but my original one is fine. If anyone's interested give me a message £35 including postage -- Edited by Martinm on Saturday 16th o...
With the current interest in big bore kits that require the crankcases to be stripped for boring to take oversize sleeves I thought this would be a good time to create a pictorial guide to include a full strip down and rebuild. I am hopeful that the 350cc big bore kit will prove successful and, if it is, th...
Hey There! I'm in a hunt for wheels to my OE, but I can't find any. I was thinking maybe the XT225 wheels would fit to the TTR as well. Has anyone tried this?
Typical - you have just rebuilt your engine, torqued down the head and you are just fitting the camshafts when you strip a thread on a cam cap Sadly there is no way to do a repair that I can see without taking the head off again Anyways up, this is a rough "how to". Quite a few of my photos were unusable and, t...
I used the seat for UK to Nepal last summer. I had the seat reworked by a motorbike upholsterer as I am told a comfy seats the most important thing on a long distance trip. The sponge was replaced to an unknown degree with new foam rather than gel inserts, the company advised me they moved away from gel p...
