Not sure if this should be in the ride report section rather than here as it was more a sportif-tour than overland expedition, but it's quieter here and hell, 1000 miles of desert riding in 11 days oughta qualify? 8 Brits, 2 Swiss and 3 Germans with a German support truck went for a play in the Algerian sah...
hey you all my starter worked and then it quit and it just clicks and if i hit it with something it will turn over a little bit and then start spamming out and it acts like its bad or the starter itself is locked up it only works if i hit it and my bike wouldnt even start when it was working i checked everything an...
Every day is a school day! Although it was possible to adjust the clutch on Steve's 350 build to get the pointer in the correct position (see here), the bolt did seem a long way in. Shoulda realised that the bolt was from a 6-plate clutch and Steve was upgrading to a 7-plate which, ideally, requires a long...
Google translator Once I came across a thread and advice that it is good to go in company, what to take with me, how to drive in the sand, in ruts, etc. Where can I find him? Thank you.

I'm going to be selling my oil cooler off my ttr. Its all there as I've removed it from my bike before I sell the poor girl. I'll attach some pics at some point but I'll ask throw in the blanking bolt it requires and the banjo bolts to connect it up. Any questions just ping me a message 😊
picked up a 90ttr a few years back for $200, the bloke said he replaced tchain and could start since. A bit a basket case. Thanks to me stalking this forum, it's now a runner. How do I gain access to the service manual download? cheers
Is anyone aware of a simple speedometer option for the TTR? Really only wanting speed...analog would be fine in order to keep it simple (both to use and to install, as I'm not especially mechanically-talented!). Thanks!
Hi All, New to the forum.. hope you're all well. I recently picked up a 2006 TTR250. It was not running but I've managed to get her going. There's a strange problem that I can't work out. When I start it cold, with the choke on she runs quickly to high revs then settles down to lower RPM after a few seconds. ...
I had a conversation with a friends a couple of years ago, "Maybe I should be looking for a TTR250, or similar..." Phil said, "I've got one of those. You can have it. If you don't, I'm taking it to the tip." So a few days later I added an 02 TTR to my collection. Bit of a Yamaha tragic with a separate love for...
Hello all, my 1999 250 TTR Enduro is brilliant and love it only used to go to the shops on dry days.only 8800kms. Reading posts on this page it appears that to hear a clunk when the engine is turned of is a sign that a sprag clutch is on its way out. My bike starts and runs fine. Do I have a problem???? My only s...
When putting my bike back together I found my clamp on the air filter side of the carby wasn't clamping tight enough. To keep the original clamp I cut a cable tie (flat end ) so it was a neat fit around the tube then put the clamp back on over the cut down tie end Result was a good tight clamp again -- Edited...
Hi from Lancashire just got my ttr250 metal tank model and out for first time today, straight through MOT but have a few problems I hope you lot can sort
Sorry to post an advert on here, but it has taken me ages to get brake discs sorted out! I got fed up with a bad supply chain from other suppliers and went in search of brake disc manufactures. Dealing with EBC was impossible and then one of my customers (thanks whoever it was!) told me about ABE in London. I...
Really spoiled and privileged here. I live a couple miles from mountain roads and trails and a massive desert to the west. 2003 TTR and 2013 KLR650. Visitors welcome! -- Edited by cyoung on Saturday 6th of October 2018 05:28:34 AM
My first trail ride on a Supermoto and my third time ever trail riding (first two times on a DT125 that I already sold). Fun but exhausting. :D -- Edited by purdoy25 on Thursday 15th of March 2018 11:39:21 AM
Hi All My bike has developed a pronounced squeak when the rear suspension is compressed and rebounds and i am wondering what to do I'm am trying to do all my own maintenance but am learning slowly i have looked at the links on suspension but not sure where to start!? Any help would be gratefully received I...
Hey, Anyone know how to disconnect the front brake light connector from the master cylinder mount? I've pulled back the rubber to reveal some kind of plastic that looks like it encapsulates the spade connectors.. was getting dark so didn't get a chance to faff about trying to get it off but there didn'...
Hi there, I've ridden my ttr from the UK to Nepal and will be shipping it to Brisbane for the 16th October. I do have some plans eg scubba diving and meeting friends but it'd be nice too meet up with some people for a ride 😁 I'm also very tempted to go to Tasmania! Nothing too hairy mind, mines loaded and onl...
I found a great tip from Lin on an old thread of his which is to get yourself a Pentel White 100WM marker pen. About £4 inc p&p from eBay. An example here. Marking some parts before disassembly can be very helpful come the rebuild. The ink will survive extremely well and is resistant to oil and grease...
You tube dropped the slideshow option, but I installed Video Pad & it has a trial slideshow program, testing it out with a few photos from our VHC trip this year Terry
After numerous 100 mile day trips on my recently rehabbed TTR250, the time had come to pile on the camping gear and take a week to head out on dirt roads and loop out and back from my home in Missoula Montana USA. The BLUE LINE on the maps approximates the trip through South West Montana. The goal was rid...
Not been on the forum long and hope someone can help...my clutch is slipping and having read the threads checked the adjustment, changed the oil and measured the plates which are reading 2.9mm-3mm put it all back together and its still slipping. Im sure the adjustment of the arm is in the right place bu...
Finally the smoke is gone and we're getting some indian summer in September, always the best time just anywhere on the west coast, my younger son and I got out camping and riding the past few weekends, great stuff. Wish I had better pics but here's a few. We're riding 70-100 miles a day on these trips, a...
