I recently found out about Uncle Eddie's Enduro track and wasted little time in getting down there to give it a go. The location was perfect for me and as it was fairly quiet I was able to explore bot...

I have read a thread or two on VIN numbers on here and elsewhere on the Net, but not sure what to make of my VIN number. According to everything i have seen the 10th digit is the year of manufacture and until 2000 it was represented by a letter - in this case apparantly "Y". From 2001 and up the year is represen...

Hi everyone, new to TTRs and this forum. I was doing some reading on the infamous sprag clutch issues common to TTRs. I've noticed mine makes a clunk when stopping and just wanted a second opinion from someone other owners about whether this sound is normal (just the engine coming to a stop) or somethin...

Happy to pay, there is someone called Yodi that keeps popping up on searches, b...

Hello I have a problem. My bike will crank but won't start. I have checked the fuel lines and the carb is properly tuned. It was running good the other day, I went out during the night (in the city) but after a few minutes of riding my headlight died so I was forced to turn back. When I tried to start the bike to...
Some bits I have for sale. A pair of raid gold wheels. I have washed them off but would come up better. They run straight but have some corrosion on the inside especially the rear. A bunch of spokes need tightening and they have various scrapes and scratching as they were used offroad for years. So not for...

The photos are actually from de-rusting my BSA C15 tank which, to be fair, is nearly 60 years old but the same technique can be applied to an OE or Raid metal tank that might have been left standing empty of fuel for a few years. The media I used is quite chunky and used in vibrating tumblers and is called, if...
