Guys, i just replaced my timing chain, piston, valve seals and rings. After putting everything back together and attempting to start it all it would do is crank with an occasional small pop back through the air filter. After ensuring that my flywheel was TDC on the single up and down line i removed the c...
I am waiting for a multi meter to arrive soon but this is my problem there is no display at the moment. I can take the headlight cowl off and pull the connection that connects to the speedo and plug it back in and it works but when I put the headlight cover back on and turn the ignition off and back on and it will...
Google translator. I think it's a carburetor. After being tipped to the left (I have not topped the right one yet) I can not run the foot of the engine. I do not have an electric starter. It is only after about 15-20 minutes that the motor can be started. Such a mystery. What is going on? Thank you.
Steve H (a member of this new forum who lives a few miles away from me in sunny Exmouth, Devon) and I each bought a 325cc big bore kit from Thumper Racing for our TTRs in 2010. I read about the 325cc kits years ago and my own view is that a 350cc 4-stroke e/start would be a pretty much ideal trail bike but you go...
https://youtu.be/sYdgP0n51Bc Hi, have been reading this forum for years but havnt had a need to post. I rode the Holland track from Hyden to Coolgardie yesterday, see included video
Recent projects and restorations on other forums have stirred my project juices and so I am going to have a go. The idea is to see whether I can update an eBlag purchase economically to make it look like the later blue plastic-tanked TTRs. This will mean changing the frame colour to blue or black (as use...
I have a strange problem. My OE digital speedo appears to have reset the km's. Not the trip km's but the main reading. Or am I being a bit thick and not pressing correct buttons or need to press one. I have read through and tried red and blue combinations to no avail. My speedo now says 50km's
My nephew just picked up this tt350 with two spare engines and a rear shock He's going to do a full resto and get it back on the road he got it really cheap I've tried to buy it off him no luck
Had this photo for a while, the boys in blue on patrol in the forest, I know the spot as we used to ride there 30yrs ago when it was legal with a permit In fact I've seen the policeman on the left of the photo a few times but on the BMW Cheers Terry -- Edited by TerryK on Monday 9th of July 2018 02:59:41 PM
TTR Steve has always been a bit less than enthusiastic about taking on mechanical jobs. His excuse being that something always seemed to go pear shaped on his projects. I thought perhaps it was a bit of an excuse not to get oil under his finger nails However, having worked with him for a few days buildin...
Does anyone know the specs of the 2 bolts used to bolt the exhaust on to the frame(after the cannon slides onto the header pipe). I have lost the back one on my recent ride and one closest to the header is nearly stripped. I tried an M8, and the thread was similar though wasnt correct. NOTE- These two bol...
Hi, new here, can anyone help? I've got a problem with my 2001 ttr250! I hadn't used it for nearly a year, but started & ran it regularly though..... I realised over the last few times that it ran perfectly on the choke but when I switched off the choke it had started searching for an idle, popping &...
Building a motorbike rack for my motorhome - pretty much last thing I need to do before going for a test trip of the van down to Devon to hopefully do some green laning and a bit of surfing.. Going to weld the 10mm steel plates to the sides of the tow bar: I've already cut the step down at each end so the triang...

Hello All. I'm new here and following instructions, so better introduce myself. I'm a owner of a TTR250 which I purchased (quite possibly while being blind folded) in the beginning of this summer with the intention of rekindling my youth (dream on sucker!) and enjoy being back out on the trails. The...
Hello everyone, and as the title says, i forgot to set my motor to TDC before i removed the top end for a re ring and cleaning. My question, what do i need to do in order to make sure i have no problems after reassembly? I know how to set the timing etc. but i am concerned that i forgot to do this before i disassem...
I have read loads about sprag and didnt want to hijack the one below. My bike makes a clunk its not very loud but its there so I did some reading on here and looked behing the cover near the starter. The idler gear is damaged but the starter should be okay. I have added a picture of gears but what do you people r...

I've got for sale the swing arm bearing set I brought from totallyttrs that I never got round to using. They're still in the packet not been touched. £20 plus postage 🙂 Cheers Jordan
I have a 2002 TTR250. It has been maintained well throughout the last couple of months since I bought it. Last Saturday morning, I tried to start it up with the choke and it started right up. Couple minutes later, however, it died and wouldn't start up again. I decided that it might be the carb that need...
Hey peeps Anyone had the experience of the aluminium with o-ring blanking plug leaking? I think I put it in about a year ago. I guess I'll pull it out and clean it and maybe use some sealant as well this time? Cheers Leigh.
Having spent a fortune on parts after the Sprag being worn and other items it was good to get out around Pendle Hill for the first time I would have taken more photographs but phone battery died lol
