Like many other users I have never really solved the problem of a dragging front brake on my TTR250, I have other bikes but have no problems with the brakes. I could service it, but it would soon start dragging again, wearing out pads & disc. I finally realized the problem could not be solved with the...
Hi all, We have made it to Boliva on this trip and are doing some of the best trails and unpaved roads on the trip so far! Sadly Robbie's ruined her old shock and it shot all the oil out, bit of a shame! Quite lucky it was now rather than in a few weeks time as we are planning on riding to Manaus, Brazil which is...
I have a 350 kit in my sticky mitts now and am really grateful to Simon (mossproof) who did all the hard work on getting the barrels cast and machined, the special pistons and gaskets made and building and testing the very first TTR350 in the world - cheers mate! See here. I have a good starting point for t...
Hello! I'm after a left hand side engine cover (the bit that houses the starter assembly) as mine has been smashed to bits by the starter assembly losing a tooth. Would also entertain a full bottom end if available- always useful!
Hi, I noticed an oil leak only when the bike was running. I think it's coming from the cover where the start connects to the engine. I've had a look at the O-ring and it appears to be fine but I've ordered a replacement anyway (2mm Section 76mm Bore NITRILE 70 Rubber O-Rings from Simply Bearings) to be on th...
Im in my 50’s and have wanted to get into riding off road for decades. I bought a 2005 TT R250 and it’s in excellent shape, seems perfect for power, but a little tall. I’m glad to see an active forum with so many of my questions already answered. I look forward to meeting the group virtually. I also bought...
Hi from SA! Been lurking on here for a while, however I never joined until I finally bought the bike. I have had a xr250, a yz250wr (rare road registered 2 stroke) and a affair with an italian beauty a tm racing 250 mx. After my friends got rid of their bikes I sold the TM. I then found myself in a mining town...
Hi All Trying to nut out the correct wiring for the Speedo, warning lamps, indicator and headlamp switches etc.... I don't have a genuine speedo on the bike and I am trying to wire up some warning lights, Ign, Lamps, Neutral etc... Have the workshop manual, yet other than the headlamp wiring I can't fin...
Hi all, Very reluctant sale of my 1996 Open Enduro. I only recently picked the bike up and never intended to part with it, however having been able to acquire something else that suits my needs better, I don't have room for two bikes! MOT until March 2024. 26,824 miles on the clock as this has been used in i...
Well I am back from my little adventure and despite the naysayers before I left, I loved nearly every minute of it. I'll break the story down into days (bite size pieces) so you don't get too bored. DAY 1 - Plymouth to Kendal As this was gonna be the longest distance in one hit of 350+ miles I loaded the bike u...
A bit of a sad day really. My brother Trev and I have decided to hang up our riding boots for health reasons but thought we would have one last trail ride together on our local lanes. We didn't get many photos but it was a lovely day for it - dry but not too dusty. The overgrowth is starting to make itself known...

Howdy, Just joined and wanted a place to follow my bike. I had previous to me a 2001 TTR-225 and to be honest I loved it minus its lack of suspension. Wasnt fast but stone dead reliable in the woods. So I figured why not get the bigger better version of the 225. [url=https://flic.kr/p/2nrQbhs][img]http...
any one going to tt this year im going tomorrow 30th year 1 time to manx gp \ classic tt going again this year with son & grandson with honda c90\s again loved it so different
A simple tip that I got from Steve at Totally TTRs. Slip a rubber glove over the air intake when you are doing a full power wash Depending on how muddy the conditions are that you ride in, it is worth occasionally taking off the side panels, seat, rear mudguard, tank, battery box and headlight to give the...
Hi all I need an alu bash plate please for the 250. Anything considered. Home made or CRD etc. Or even a pattern to try to make one. Any thoughts? Collection in person preferred, I'm in Bristol, operating in south Wales a lot, sometimes Worcester region.
Hello there, I am the proud new owner of a 2000 TTR-250. Well, I actually purchased it as a gift for my son. He's been getting excellent grades at school and excelling at sports as well so I thought this would be a great way to reward him for all his hard work. Even though his friends ride (much) newer machin...
Just under 800 miles in 4 days around the UK's green lanes.The little TTR took it all in its stride, not bad going for a 30 year old bike! Just wish I had the Raid or Acerbis long range tank fitted, as the standard fuel tank kept me on the hunt for fuel stations all the time! https://youtu.be/C14hTLKg1X8...
Oops! Had a bit of an off today and have smashed the speedo and broken off the warning light assembly too (as well as knackered the cowl). Does anyone have any ideas for replacement, since I assume I won't be able to get stock replacements easily. I know I can change to an aftermarket digital speedo and p...
Hello just joined the forum, used the search function to no real help. Purchased a 1999 USDM 250 a couple weeks back. I had a 225 and loved it, so I was hoping to jump to its...
Bonjour à tous, Gilles, 67 ans, motard depuis l'âge de 16 ans, je viens de faire l'acquisition (sur les conseils pressants de mon fils) d'un 250 TTR. A l'origine cette moto était destinée à pratiquer un peu d'enduro en compagnie du fiston. Mais très vite je me suis pris au jeu de la restauration et après...
Selling my 1993 Open Enduro. Bike is in pretty good condition for the age, there are a few scratches, nicks and everything you would expect for the age. New Mitas E-07 tires fitted with around 120miles on them The bike has been sitting in my garage for a while now and not getting the use it deserves. 129...
Hey all. New to the forum. I posted this over on Thumper Talk, and got no response, so I decided to make an account here. Its a 2005 US model. I got the bike last year. I did the basic stuff, took the baffle out of the pipe, rejetted, took the snorkel off of airbox, etc. That's when my problems started... ...
I just purchased a 06 with under 6000ks on the clock, very stock & in very good condition watch this space for an adventure build from yz250f parts as the upgraded parts
Pulled out my finger today & put rego on the TTR, took it out for a ride in the Adelaide hills, only 120kms but was fun, feels pretty good. Can't believe I've had this bike for 10yrs last week, seems like yesterday I picked it up & today it clicked over 24,000 kms Cheers Terry
