With a forecast high of 38c today I went out early, not too early as the risk of hitting a Skippy are much greater. Rode out to the Barossa on gravel roads, very dry & slippery with a fair few front end slides but back home after 140kms, stopped at a vineyard to take a few photos along the way. Back home be...
Hi Everyone I've been reading the TTR Forum for a few years now and feel that it is about time I put finger (or sometimes fingers) to the keyboard. I bought my TTR250 about 4 years ago off a highly respected Technician at Yamaha New Zealand. One of my lifelong mates was the National Parts Manager at YNZ for...
A little fun with my youngest this weekend. Because of fires we had to drive 90 minutes each way for a 4 hour ride (to Mowich). He buried it on a steep switchback, good workout getting out of that (at 5000 ft). This is my 2002, back to stock jets (50/137) with the T4 slip on and open-top airbox, it runs grea...
I visited the Yeovilton Fleet Air Arm Museum yesterday in the company of TTR Steve and other similar but greyer old reprobates I have had discussions in the past about how thin you can go on cylinder sleeves before they would go "wavy" or otherwise distort in use. There were quite a few sectioned aero e...
Hello everyone. I recently bought a TTR250, I love it. I've been lurking around the forum a bit, gleaning lots of useful information, and I thought it was about time I introduced myself. I'm a motorcycle instructor and motorcycle postie in Auckland, New Zealand and own a ttr and a Suzuki dl650. Lov...
Ok, so it is one of my fave youtube overland channels, and is more 4wd than bike based, but there is a ttr 250 on the holland track, this is part one, well worth a look, awesome production values showing one of Australia's roughest tracks. 'Overlanding in the outback, it's everyone's four wheel drive d...

Having loved and cherished my old Raid, I needed to go some further distances and it wasn’t pactical any more. I got a Bandit 650 then after my circumstances changed I ended up having to sell that to make ends meet. Happily for me, I have finally pulled things round and now am in a position to buy a bike. Als...

Hello everyone. I'm not a ttr owner yet but hopefully I will be in the next month or so. I'm 47 and live in cumbria,to be honest an enduro bike was never an intension as I've a couple of vespa and have owned rd350s and tdr250s in the past. A mate from work rolled up on a drz400 and after having a blast my mind wa...

My Christmas present from the wife arrived the other day. It was supposed to go under the tree but didn't quite make it. B&B bashplate looks good and seems well made. Also a couple of pics of a recent ride in Bunyip state forest in Victoria. There had been a bit (alot) of rain the previous week. -- E...
See http://www.ttr250.com/ I haven't made any changes for a few months and a lot can happen in the TTR250 world in that time! Any suggestions for additions or corrections please? Brian -- Edited by TTRfan on Friday 8th of December 2017 02:46:51 PM

Joined a while ago, thought I would finally say hi! I've got an old '94 raid. She has been through the mill. I am the 4th owner. She's been rear ended, dropped, drowned in rivers, stuck in rivers and thrashed on the mx course. The raid is a bit tired. At 50,000 km she is just begging for some attenti...

Anyone have one they don't use/want/need? I'll probably buy new but thought what the hell might as well see if someone has one they want to get rid of in AUS. -- Edited by leigh on Monday 4th of September 2017 04:13:12 AM
Out on Sunday with a few big bikes on Salisbury Plain for my first ride on the TTR. I was on TEC duties so had my first attempt at recording and publishing video, a harder task at my age than riding the bike all day I can tell you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3asWZj2fsfU https://www.youtube.co...
And a bargain price! See https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192382958573 PS Nothing to do with me but I know there are always potential buyers looking for a TTR250 watching on here
The bike has developed a bit of an issue today. It starts ok and idles with the choke off after warming up, without any problems. The trouble is anything more than 1/4 throttle and the revs don't rise and the engine splutters? It was dark and cold when this decided to happen, but luckily it happened just a...
We're off to the Victorian high country next March but some of the lads were over there last week & one of the big hills is Billy Goats Track Derek the 73yr old on the TTR got up using 1st & 2nd, it looks like one hell of a hill.
