Hi all just a quick question I've noticed on my oe that someone has run a cable from the battery negative to an watching point on the frame. I' fairly sure that isn't standard and just wondering if anyone on here knows what effect it may have on the battery if any. Cheers in advance. Jordan
We have a forecast of more heavy snow so I went to the local supermarket on the TTR250 earlier to buy a spare bottle of gin.I put it inside my riding jacket but, just as I was about to pull away, I thought to myself what might happen if I fell off and the bottle broke. So I drank all the gin before riding home.Ju...

I am wor...

I have sold loads of theses and not heard of this, but on inspection they do not line up properly. So my question i...

Hi all I'm after a exhaust for my trip to Aus on the ttr this year and the current one I have fitted is a touch to loud for a journey of that size. If anyone has a reasonably quiet one or by some miracle a motad one then just let me know. Cheers Jordan

Hi everyone I am in the process of making my ttr fully legal and still need a brake light. I found several switches from parted ttrs but have no idea how to hook them up.

How the hell do you top up the rear brake reservoir please? Not obvious other than removing a few bits and pieces out of the way. Need to bleed/replenish the fluid after replacing the rear piston and am mystified !
Hi everyone, I have another question for you guys. Is cold starting and or riding bad for the bike or engine in cold weather(40-50) Fahrenheit. I am not worried as much about the bike as I am the engine. Is it bad to start the engine when it is colder out? I'm worried that the oil flow isn't great and it will c...

A customer sent me back some genuine Yamaha piston rings he bought, they are +0.50, He bought them and they did not fit his aftermarket piston. The rings all look good and he assures me they were not fitted, but the box is grubby. Sensible offers considered. Many thanks Steve

Hi Everyone, Just back from riding 90 Mile Beach up in the North of New Zealand. It isn't actually 90 miles long but 55 miles or 88 kilometres. Poor surveying I guess or 90 Mile Beach sounds more impressive that 55 Mile Beach. Attached are some photos (hopefully the right way around but if not, they will n...

Hello folks, how does one separate the mechanism to replace the small torsion Spring? The large one I'd obvious and straight forward, but cant see how it comes apart to fit the small Spring! Push fit? Cheers in advance
