I aske Yamaha UK and they replied: "Whilst we cannot be exact, our records indicate that we imported approximately 889 models." Bearing in mind that many those will have been scrapped, I can only think that the UK population of TTRs is so healthy because of the many grey imports. Must have b...
I am hoping to get a 350 kit in the not-too-distant future I am reluctant to take the 325 engine out of my blue trail TTR and would rather build a road-going 350 instead. So, I am looking for a complete rolling chassis with V5 and either no engine or a blown engine. I am trying to get something for less than...
Hi All! My name's Stef and I recently joined the forum. I used to commute daily for many years and sold my last bike (a Suzuki SV650S) about 5 years due to increased whinging from the Mrs - something to do with bikes being dangerous or something - wasn't really listening but did eventually give in :( Well...

I was looking into purchasing a new shock before I sent mine off for rebuild and found this in the process. It's a different part number than the OE shock but looks identical. Figured I throw this out there for those that are dealing with shock issues. https://www.cmsnl.com/products/shock-absor...
I'm thinking of changing out the friction plates on my clutch. I'm pretty sure but not positive that the clutch plates for the WR250 are the same as the ones in the blue TTRs. Can anyone confirm that this is the case?

So I've recently fitted a shiny new FMF Powercore 4 along with a FMF quiet core. Previously I'd fitted another after market pipe but was unhappy with the results. I think it flowed worse than the stock pipe and I needed to lower the needle (or raise the clip) to the highest setting to work properly. I deci...
Hello everybody. I think i have the solution to the age old problem of chain lubrication when out riding. A very simple device that allows the rider to lube his/her (non sexist) chain,even while on the move. The simple parts being. 1 A screw top container. 2 Grass mower engine priming bulb. 3 A length o...
just back from riding the French TET from Rodez to carcassone , then across to Foix , then back to Cahor on as many GR routes as we could find , the two ttrs on the trip performed brilliantly and didn't miss a beat , just under 2k kilometres in 6 days of everything the French countryside could throw at us from...
Hi my ttr rides ok but feels like I'm thrashing it at 55mph my rear sprocket is a 49 and my front is 13. I would like a little more top end speed for road use but would like it to still have power when needed too. What would you guy recommend? What are other people running on?
I want to remove all of the old grease from the front wheel gear unit and replace it with new grease, but I don't want to damage it as it is nearly $100 from yamaha. how should I go about cleaning it out? Thanks.
HI I have been looking through my garage and decided that i need to move on some of my toys. Amongst them I have two TTR 250. One is a 1993/4 Raid in the popular white and blue colour scheme with off road tyre metal number plate etc ready to off road The second one being an all 2001 black model which has road ty...
Well Fathers day & nothing arranged so I was going to take out the TTR for a spin but the WRR was sitting there so a toss up, got a flat last week on the WRR & bought a new tube yesterday but as I was ripping the lawn up didn't have time to work on the bike, checked the tyre & it was still up, shall I tak...
Hey everybody! Gleaming with pride today as I took my first ride on my project bike since the engine overhaul was finished. I’m so happy with how it feels and sounds. So far, it’s had a valve rebuild, new timing chain and cam gears, piston and rings, honed cylinder, new clutch, rebuilt the carb, replace...
As promised in another thread regarding the removal of wheel bearings, I have now sucessfully removed the rear collars and bearings using an expanding through bolt rather than an expensive bearing puller. These are the bolts I purchased; the smaller M8 for the front wheel and the larger M12 for the r...
Hi, I'm from the blue mountains in Sydney Australia. I am a motorbike newbie so sorry for any dumb questions in advance. I have wanted a bike for me and my teenage son for some time, I did some research on the web and came across this forum which helped me decide I wanted a ttr250. Thanks for all the great inf...
I am getting at least half a dozen spam emails a day from a mysterious source whose email address doesn't show so making it impossible to set up a rule to have their emails sent direct to the Deleted folder by Outlook. This is what the email "From" field looks like: From: *************--------------...
im looking into getting new side covers from a friend and he painted them. Would paint stripper damage the plastic or would it be fine? Also could power washing them take off the paint? Thanks.

Relatively new to biking , passed my full bike license last year some 30 years since last riding a bike and enj...

Difficulty is an understatement - it seems to have taken up most of my afternoon Flywheels can be stubborn but I haven't come across one before where it seemed like it was welded on! I used a combination of flywheel puller, heat, rattle gun and a generous helping of Irish screwdriver and it eventually...
After some searching around, these are the best after-market replacements I can find. Not quite the quality of the genuine Yamaha articles but at a fraction of the cost. See here for a selection of switches on offer from Steve at Totally TTRs. Brian
Can anyone suggest a good tyre for weekday commuting with occasional greenlaning. I've been looking at Michelin Sirac and wandered if anyone had any experience with them. Or if any better alternatives. Also if anyone had any for sale etc... Thanks. Tom
