I have spent a few days working on my mate Keith's Bantam which he bought in 1975 and never ran. It's in my workshop so I have been able to sort out quite a lot of jobs whilst Keith earns himself a living I cleaned the carb and, this afternoon, Keith brought around the cleaned out tank and some fuel and we sta...
i am having trouble cleaning the sub frame on the right side near the fender (see picture). Is there anyone who has found a way to get all of the mud and water out of this area. I don't want water to sit and rust the frame. Thanks
Hello team TTR Went for a ride last week for 4 days with my new bags on the ttr - I'll put up a trip report very soon. Long story short it went perfectly - except the exhaust side of the bike the bags got hotter than I'd like - hot enough to just start to melt one of my dry bags. I had some heat shields on the ex...

I was just wondering having read lots of posts on here to increase my learning curve, If these engines are well maintained what would be the highest mileage I could expect to achieve. ???? I have read that people put baggage on them and travel vast distances so they must be very reliable, I am asking as t...
Hi all, I thought you might like a couple of pics of my wife’s ttr... pearl. Just finished a rebuild in preperation for a trip to Russia, leaving in 3 weeks.

OK, having spent loads of cash on my TTR and converting it to supermoto to use for getting to my fire station when I'm called out (retained fire fighter), I've decided that I'd probably kill myself trying to overtake a pensioner down the lanes between home and the station So it's just been sat in the bar...
Just fitted a set of Dunlop 606 front and rear along with 14/52 sprockets and a new chain as well, I cut the chain off at 110 links, that just gives me clearance with the rear shock mud guard and sets the axle back on number 5 on the snail cams INTRO I had full Michelin knobbies on before and the ride even on smo...

Hi, This is my second thread as I think I broke the other one, I can't see the contents, no idea why. Damn, typed in loads of info too. Could you give me some advice as to how much my bike is worth please? It's a 93 import open enduro that I'm just not using any more. Cosmetically a bit of a mess but mechanically...
My TTR (BLUE) has been standing for some time, the bike started fine, however I jumped on it. Pulled in the clutch stabbed first and stalled. it seems the clutch plates are stuck together? Tried bumping to see if that would free the clutch but no luck. Easy job to take the clutch out or something more ob...

Hello all again, having finally removed rusted screws on my front brake master cylinder cover i believe that the fluid has not been changed since 1997, it looks dreadful, and, will have to pump a lot of fluid through the system to clean it out, I would suspect the rear brake will be the same. My silly ques...
hi everyone, I went out today to go for a ride and when I went to start the bike it just kept turning over it didn't even try. But when I gave it a little bit of gas(with the choke on) it came to life. But at idle with the choke on it didn't idle up like it always does. I had to keep giving it gas for around 30 seconds...

Yesterday, Got a new key cut for my bike. They said they had never seen an original key (i assumed for my yr model 2005) as what they had seen was some kind of butchered keys previously???? I rang my local yamaha dealer, and they recommended this place. Quite a difference. I keep original key on lanyard, h...
G'day guy - just joined. I picked up this TTR cheaply and I intend to use it trail ring and maybe adventure touring. The first problem is to get it running. Its been standing unused and unstarted for about ten years - yeah yeah I know the likely issues, my stupidity and optimism. To confirm my stupidity yo...
Hello all, back again with my silly questions that have been resolved with all your help, this one is not so easy. Having bought a number plate bracket and light from Steve in the shop, you will see from the picture that the exhaust blows straight onto the number plate creating a dreadful resonance and c...
Got a question for Brian, our TTR guru. I've just got back from a tour of the TET trails in Southern France and Spain. I noticed the oil level had dropped and topped the level up. I've used 1ltr of oil over 1500 kilometres. I've had a quick look this morning and the catch vessel at the airbox was full of emul...
