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...
It's nearly time to splash out on a chain & sprocket set, but my TTR has had Takasago Excel rims fitted and I'm not sure if the hubs are still standard. Does anyone know what the PCD of a standard TTR sprocket is? Or let me know if the sprocket in the photo looks right, I guess not if the wavy brake disc isn...
I camped for a few days with the wife last weekend and took the 250 and 125. I've been spending all my garage time on the 125 lately, moding for an adult basically -- I'm down to the jets and settings in the 125's carb and getting a steady idle is driving me crazy. But the 250s are just boring old Mr. Reliabl...
Hello all again. My beloved TTR which i have spent days cleaning and servicing and vowed never to get dirty is wearing my patience. With no notice when the starter button is pressed all i hear is a buzzing noise from the starter, all was fine last time it was used, the battery shows 12.6V on a meter and conn...

translate google from polish. I have a refurbished engine in the workshop and a new carburettor. Is it possible that the fuel level may be bad in a new carburettor? I can not start kicking the starter. Thank you for your help
The cover is broken, the thing still on but doesn't look very trustworthy. Is there aftermarket or alternatively fitting parts from other models? Mine is a 2001. Google wasn't of much help sofar
Hi everyone Nice to find a ttr250 forum as I have just brought a Yamaha ttr250 in bits so you will probably see me asking where bit go in the future So far had frame sandblasted and powder coated now ready to start putting things back together if any body would like to advice me on what bits are best to start p...
HellO I have a 2003 TTR 5000 miles very little use from new. I had an oil leak dripping on the exhaust ...I have replaced the decompressor seal. It is not that. Would it be possible that the rings have gummed up and caused back pressure in the crankcase, that causing oil to leak through the head gasket? Th...
Hello all. I am new to the club but have had my TTR for about 8 years now. About three years ago some guys broke into my shed and ended up breaking the tank so that it could not be repaired. I have been looking for a stock tank ever since. Acerbis has one I believe, an aftermarket, but it stands out like a sore th...
