As the title suggests, we are making the road trip to the Victorian high country next weekend, it's 1200 odd Kms from Adelaide in South Australia, will have three bikes in my trailer, 2 x TT250R's & one WR250R. This will be the 1st time for me & my mate Dave & we know they have big hills but we do...
Cheers y'all, my skis are still down but I couldn't resist getting the bikes out last week. Thursday rode Shotgun Creek west slope of the Cascades, muddy as hell on the shady sides of the hills, bad, and snow, temperate rain forest volcanic ash/cinder over clay/detritus. Friday drove an extra hour...
Hi chaps Had my bike for 4 years now but not been out for a while for many reasons. However, Been getting some silly quotes and was wondering who people are using for insurance. Couple of years back got my bike insured for £71 3rd party, fire & theft - is this figure now silly to expect. I thought not b...
The rear fender (blue 2010 model) has the black plastic extension (for the number plate) that is held on by three bolts (one at the top, 2 on the side). Does anyone please have a parts number handy for the metal side collars that are the spacers for the plastic? Unless you locktight them on, they fall off i...
I have a carb that runs rich on tickover. Just touch the choke and its stalls immediately. I have set the float height artificially low - made no difference so it's not flooding. I have checked that the choke is seating properly so that's not the issue. I tried a smaller pilot jet and it made no difference...
Hi all, My 93 OE has had several regulator/rectifier failures over time. I have a kickstart as well so I continued using the bike while waiting for parts. Each time I've ignored this, the stator has failed and needed replacing or rewinding. When I got the bike the wiring loom had been thoroughly butc...
Hi there, I noticed a slight weep of oil had gotten a little more noticable so decided that it was time to investigate. I replaced the copper washer behind the neutral swtch thing and checked the generator covers bolts. I then rembered there was one hidden so I took of the cover for the gears between the s...
Finally got around to fitting the after market TK-P pipe yesterday. I've had it sitting in the shed for 12 months. Been happy enough with the stock pipe and just havent got around to it, but seeing I needed to do the front wheel bearings I thought why not do the pipe at the same time. Five minutes to whip the...
Having bought myself a TTR250 and giving it the once over I am finding the exhaust noisier than I want It's an FMF core4. I have looked through earlier threads and it seems the Motad is the quietest. Has anyone any recommendations or one available please?

Thanks to my new friend MOO my TTR has a new look! He sold me this lovely rack, which I've now had powder coated and I fitted it over the weekend. Primarily as I need to carry luggage over to IOM for the TT in a few weeks but it's just going to be handy full stop for my panniers, strapping stuff to for commuting e...

Completed the Colorado portion of the TAT this past August which took around 9 days. During that time, lived off the bike, camping in the wilderness/and or local hostels. I have a video almost completed, do I need to upload it to youtube in order to share here? Here's a few teaser pics. Hit all sort...

Przepraszam, tłumacz Google. Czy uruchomi silnik stopą bez akumulatora i czy będą zapalone światła po uruchomieniu? Can I get rid of the battery if I have only a kick start?-- Edited by tom13 on Wednesday 28th of March 2018 08:35:51 PM
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...
