Today the sun made it's first appearance for weeks in Christchurch New Zealand. My newly road registered OE was calling to me, and I heeded the call. I headed over to the local trails which run alongside a large braided river and I was in for a treat. I had the place to myself and the TTR just tore it up. Mud,...
Went out today on the WR250R, was very cold & wet but I stayed warm & dry. Did 200kms & only stopped once to turn the gopro on at the start of the single track. I had single tracks with wet sand (good ) wet clay ( bad ) twin track, dry weather roads, dirt / gravel roads etc. Got a few videos from tod...
When start the engine or turn off the engine I can hear some metal knocking sound once or twice while starting and once while turning off. Is it how it suppose to be or is it something wrong? How to fix? Please advice. TTR 2008. Seems like sound comes from electric starter area.
hi everyone. I just got a honda cb250 nighthawk and im wondering if it is ok to keep the revs up fairly high since it only has 5 gears. can that engine handle high revs for prolonged periods of time? Thanks.
Has anyone successfully fitted a speedo sensor to the front wheel on a 1996 white tank. I want to free up the front sprocket area for cleaning afyer my green laning adventures.
Morning, As per my recent thread asking for pricing advice my 93 TTR250 EO is now for sale. This bike has electric and a kick start. It's mechanically sound but been used as an off road bike so a bit scruffy...New tyres Took barrel off and fitted gasket kit to fix oil leakReseated leaking exhaust and val...
Hi all. Being a bit slack here, i did a search on registration Australia on this forum. But nothing came up. I have a 2005 ttr, i have no doubts it will pass a vic road roadworthy. Mechanically i feel its A1. Visually looks clean. I am not current with whats what. This bike came with knobbies on it. I am uncle...
Hi Guys, Recently bought TTR250 2008 (17k kms) and noticed a small oil leaking from the left corner of the bottom gasket. My mechanic recommended me to just to leave it as it is if it won't get worse and look after the oil level. It's fine for me but still a bit annoying. Any clues apart just leave it as it is?...

In blue 😃 just found a slightly beaten down ttr in Spain and am very, very happy with her. She needs some technical love, will. try to find the appropriate threads. Nice to be part of this forum! Happy trails, pistas, green lanes etc everybody!
Hi Guys Halfway through my ride yesterday i noticed the speedo had stopped working I havent looked yet but suspect the cable. Its a blue 54 plate TTR with a analogue speedo. Any ideas before i start pulling things apart! Thanks Ross
Hello, I was doing some maintenance on my ttr, when I noticed the back wheel has a lot of drag .I can spin it by hand but as soon as I stop spinning the wheel stops. Any thoughts? Thanks
as the title suggests, I was leading a ride & as I opened the gate & waved the guys through, I passed a KTM690, couple of DR650's, Husky 650, XT250, my TTR was still on standard Dunlop dual sport tyres, just think how quick it would have been if on D606 or MT21's [video=https://www.youtube.com/...
Hi Guys, I thought i had my idle screw set right. When cold, fires up straight away, ocasonially use choke for a couple seconds. Idles fine, sounds fine not revving hard. Noticed tonight when i went for a ride, that coming into intersections/round abouts. Anytime i pulled the clutch in it seemed to be o...
Hi. I've picked up 2x ttr's one is an OE and the other a raid. I will be building one choosing the best bits of both. But what I want to do is fit the blue model tank seat and side panels. The only real reason is that I like the look better and prefer a plastic tank. Now I believe all the frames are fundamentaly t...
I have a removed the side case and cleaned out the gause and it was full gasket or some other type of plastic (needs new cam chain and maybe slide rubbings) I could do with some info on the following:- Here is a video with the nut cracked below the filter housing. https://db.tt/iO2UF2r8xU How much o...
Afternoon all, After initially attempting to replace what I thought was a leaking head gasket (turned out to be the decompressor plug) I now have the top end of my TTRs engine off and sat on the bench, to be honest the whole engine is sat on the bench after I thought it would be easier to give it a spruce up a...
And so the questions start First air cooled bike, well, apart from an old TS100 many moons ago that I never even gave a second thought. Anyhoo, being air cooled should I switch off rather than idle for a prolonged period? Not that I sit for hours but whats the general consensus. Also, I'm hoping for a...
Recently bought a 2003 blue TTR off a forum member who has hung his boots up. I think he was sad to see the bike go but I am happy to give it a new home. The romance period was pretty short, however, as after the first ride I noticed that the bike was idling-high, i.e: not returning to a low idle after being warm...
Took the TTR out again today, using the TTR until the rego runs out next month & to keep the kms off the WRR. We did dirt roads, gravel roads, single track along side an old disused railway, janos had been asking me for a while to take him out there, the single track was deep soft sand with whoops, two thi...

https://youtu.be/lLpCtGFT0Hw We are racing a lot of new motorcycles, 2016's 17's and 18's. And the TTR250 is holding its own. My son only has 2 years of racing experience. LOL
Currently riding my ttr through Turkey and the starter motor seems to have developed a fault. It seems sluggish turning the engine over 2 or 3 times makes a clunk then stops. The bike started fine thus morning and this fault has only started today. The last time I tried a small amount of smoke appeared fr...
