I found this TTR 250 Forum and its been a great help in turning a rough 2005 into a dual sport bike.................in my world, thats riding hundreds of miles of dirt back roads for a few days, or sometimes just an after noon. I sent Brian pictures of what my riding pals and I do when the snow is on the grou...
Although you may not have noticed I wasn't around Just back from a fortnight swanning around la belle France in the car with my brother-in-law Keith following (sometimes) on his Ducati Monster Did over 2,000 miles in a fortnight (able to put the top down for quite a lot of the time) and saw a lot of the co...
Hello, Just joined the forum, some good stuff. I normally live in Scotland but am currently travelling around NZ with my partner on our two TTR's. A blue 2014 and a White 1996. Back in Scotland we normally ride a 1992 XT600 and a 1992 Serow 225. We picked up our TTR's in NZ, both totally standard when we go...
I picked up a TTR today. I needed a "cheap" bike to use as a commuter through the winter. My TTR won't win any beauty contests, but it did make it from Bude to Plymouth through storm Brian. If nothing falls off or breaks over the next few weeks I'll try to give it a clean and a rattle-can paint job and post some...
Long story short, a few years ago I bought a cheap well used Raid to go greenlaning, but as usual my OCD of having things "right" got the better of me and I wanted it stripping down powdercoating/painting and putting back together. There was no issue with the bike other than it was scruffy because it was u...
Hi all, I'm new to the forum - I've got a 2002 TTR250 which has developed a bit of a cold starting problem. Essentially, I usually turn the fuel on, choke out, then use the electric start and it fires up after a couple of seconds holding the button. Recently though, it just turns over and will not fire up f...
I am busy reading the repairs thread - finished the carb one earlier. I have an odd issue. It only happens in 6th gear, usually while overtaking a car. I will be going strong, when all of a sudden I get a splutter in the revs, almost like running out of fuel. When I change to 5th, I can rev strongly with no h...
The Missus just passed her competency test for pre learners (Tasmania) and is keen to start riding the TTR to work so i was wondering if anyone knew how to lock up the tank for some added security, more concerened about vandals and skanky additives than pilfered fuel. Fuel is easy to replace. Probably...

Hi All, I'm looking for a replacement fuel tank, mine has cracked somehow, and repair is not an option. Please let me know if you'd have one hanging around. Thank you in advance!
I just started a TTR 250 restore transformation. !st was check the valves. Lots of incorrect information out there about the TTR 250 head. Its a YZ bucket and shim over valve under the cam, nice and simple, same shims as all the YZ and I would guess many road bikes. 5,000 unknown miles on my bike each v...
A group of us did some great trails in Normandy last week. We stayed at Paul Barons place who runs Dirt bike tours , had a great time , two of us riding TTRs. The little bikes never missed a beat and coped with everything we could throw at them from rocks to mud , steep slippery climbs and water.
I dug the USD forks out & took few numbers for the conversion into the TTR.... It turns out the 05 YZF250 USD forks use the same ID bearings as the TTR... 28mm Top / 30mm bottom... Even the steering stops look to be in about the right place.. The YZF forks are 40mm longer but theres enough un-tapperd are...

On my way to meet up with some mates for a trail ride earlier in the week, there was a death rattle coming from the 325 that prompted me to turn around and head back about 3 miles from home. Really disappointing as I don't get out much these days and the ride was in the Dawlish area and haven't ridden those lan...
My blue ttr250 has been standing a long time. It would not start, checked the plug had sparks, so following the excellent guide removed the carburetor. I took the carb to be cleaned and asked about the state of it. I was told it was green and manky inside. Refitted the carb, replaced the plug. It wou...
Hi all, First off, a quick introduction. I’m Ollie, and I’ve had my TTR for a while now (a year or 18 months, can’t remember exactly). It’s a K reg metal tank version. I use it for green laning so it gets a bit battered and bruised, but I always give it a lot of TLC after each trip! There’s one slightly odd f...

The old beach ridden bars replaced by a resprayed set. Only major job the beast has had its entire life is a camchain. Uses no oil , just a couple of puffs of smoke on start up after sitting for a week.
