Hi everyone. I've recently bought a 1999 TTR and I love it! I've only managed to go out once however, I know no-one near me who rides off road so I need to work out how to gain more experience. It's not that I'm shy, but I don't like to hold up the pack! I'm a fairly experienced road biker with a Tiger XRX and Ind...
hi everyone. I noticed that the very bottom of the carburettor always has a bit of gas hanging from it. And it looks like the engine case directly below it is wet. I felt the engine case and it feels dry so the carburettor must not drip often. Does anyone have this problem and what would fix it? Thanks.
I was adjusting the angle of the handlebars and levers when out popped the clutch switch. I can see that the outer part of the switch cable has a register which fits the lever housing but try as I could I couldn't get it to stay in. I have looked at the detail of fitting a new aftermarket one but am still uncle...

Hi, a question on batteries. How long do batteries last on the ttr? I put a new battery in my 2005 ttr a little over a year ago and when it is not in use it is on a battery tender. When i went to start it today it was as dead as a dead thing, nothing on it. Surely a battery should last longer than that length of time T...
Has anyone found a replacement for the fragile rubber(?) lamp holders for the neutral/ main beam warning lights please. As you have probably already guessed one of mine destroyed itself when being removed!
Took the bike out for a ride the other day, my TTR250 and a mate with TTR600. Bunyip State forest 1 and 1/2 hours North of Melbourne. Been dry for a week, the night before we go rain and a fine drizzly mist on the day. We were hoping for a dry day so we could tackle some of the harder tracks in the area, mainly Ro...
i was out riding the other day and after about 30 minutes the rear brakes started squealing very loud when I used them. I pulled over and looked at the brakes to see if something got stuck between the caliper and the pads. There was nothing there but I noticed the brakes where very hot(duh). Does anyone el...

Most of us use our TTRs for trail. track or road and therefore the requirements are very different to those of a race-tuned engine. I have been contacted by a kart racer who is using a TTR250 donk in his kart and has asked about tuning it to the max. This was my reply:Regarding the carb, the standard TTR car...
Excellent condition taken from a low miles 2006 steel frame YAMAHA WR250F. They will fit alloy WR 250 2007-2011 maybe also the 450 but not to sure on this. these are ready to bolt on. Might fit TTR 250?? I think they will also fit YZF models and the alloy framed WR. They cost £££s from yamaha as a set like...
A few weeks back I noticed there must be an oil leak on the RHS as my wrapped exhaust was smoking a fair bit just forward of the join to the rear section. I'd not noticed it before as the bike has mainly been out in the wet and the exhaust wrap gives off a fair bit of steam then anyway. Upon investigation there w...
Out on Salisbury Plain, looks lovely but the ice was an inch thick on the puddles and the wind chill around -7 so I did not stop for long. [url=https://flic.kr/p/24F8Np...
Hi all, I have a 93 oe with a few raid parts, which recently has had new pisyon rings, cam chain etc. Before i took the bike apart it was running 142/48 jetting and started reasonably well and idled perfectly. Since then i have "rebuilt" the carb using an all balls kits from the ttr shop. I tried to run the...
Hi all from sunny West Wales. I used to be on the forum a few years ago, but have not been out riding for a while but i have decided to get back in to trail riding a bit more.
Hi Guys n gals, i probably need a new speedo for my ttr. anyone used the Trailtech Endurance 11 and also KOSO BB EX2. I saw someone used the cheap ones on the bay about £25. Any long term views appreciated or other options. Mike
Hi, i know these speedos on th open enduro can be problematic, but mine just went dimmer and not showing any zero or the current mileqage of the bike. The screen lights up, and i have 12 volts coming in on the red and the brown, but only showing about 1.7 volts on the blue. I understand this should show 5 vo...

Decided 17 loose spokes was probably a few to many. So a quick visit to TTR towers for a new set and the loan of a wheel thingy, out came the grinder and after an hour new shiny ones fitted. Now has about 3 to 4mm runout, will spend a while trying to get this a bit better. But guessing with a knobbly on a couple o...
Simply question, how do I completely remove the rear indicators on my bike (2004 TTR-250) I don't want to ruin any of the electrics so I have to be sure. I removed the brackets and the indicators are now dangling from the wire. What do I do next?
