Folks, I have made a silly error: I have lost the ball bearing from the end of the clutch rod. Does anyone know the diameter of the ball please? thanks, MG
On 16th July I set off from Totnes, Devon on my 1993 Yamaha TTR 250 as part of the Mongol Rally. My friend, Rory bought a TTR from the same year especially for the trip too. Joined by 331 other vehicles (321 of which are small cars with around a 1 litre engine), we did a lap of Goodwood Motor Circuit near Brig...
I'm after a rack system that bolts down to the rear foot pegs for extra strength for my trip from the UK to Australia next year. Any help will be appreciated Cheers jordan

I've done a search and can't see anything close to what I want to do so has anyone removed this ugly black number plate holder on the later model blue TTR's and replaced it with a bracket of some kind so that the plate sits right up under the tip of the blue guard itself with a tiny light on top.
Hey everyone, I am looking into getting a bigger adventure style bike so unfortunately the TTR has to go, I have had her for 3 years and she has been tremendous fun in that time.It would be nice if it went to a forum member so here she is.Great opportunity to buy a tidy low mileage bike with lots of extras!...
its been a while since ive been out on the ttr but now its time the bandit has run out of tax away in mothballs at the mo till next summer looking forward to some mud
Duel Sport Motorcycle Riders Association. I'm thinking of joining the club but i was wondering if any Aussies here are part of it they are all over Aus and have rides all the time some big ones as well like the Kowen ride every year.
Hi Fellow TTR fans, I am reluctantly selling my 2004 Reg TTR 250. This bike has been fully rebuilt by Steve Attfield proprietor of the Totally TTR shop and website. There is an amazingly detailed blog by Steve on how he rebuilt this bike, go to the forum and look under Projects and Restorations, then go t...

I am going to try and rebuild a carb to run and look as close as possible to new as I can. I am already into it 2-3 hours so it's gonna be a long job! The finishing touch will be to re-plate the rusty steel parts and get the same colour as on a new carb using the Zinc/Nickel Plating Kit from Gateros Plating. These...
Hi Folks, I've owned my TTR Raid for a for a few years and only just found this forum .. probably because it never goes wrong! Great wee bike and I run it alongside my Africa Twin. A great combination. Mike

I have owned a lot of bikes through my 45 years of riding, but I have never seen one go up in RPMs so fast after 50 mph. I don't have a tach on it, but the bike feels like it's about 2500 rpms at 50 mph, and 5000 rpms at 60 mph. Why would there be that much difference? I have ordered a 48 rear sprocket and hopef...
Not ridden the TTR for a while ( WRR has been getting all the attt. ) going to put rego on the TTR tomorrow & take her out. Looks way too clean to get dirty, what you think Will post up some photos tomorrow when I get home Cheers Terry
Hi all!!! Just bought my first TT250R - actually my very first Yamaha, a 98 white model with 57000 km and I love it since the first time I ride. We already had our issues (the voltage regulator was broken and couldn't make the 100km trip from the dealership to my home, in Lisboa) but I'm into a long and hopef...
I JUST BOUGHT a 2005 ttr 250, thoroughly neglected and confused, my goal is to turn it into a legal road bike for dirt road back country trips. Looking good so far. Great forum here, lots of helpful hints and resources to cut to. Love it. Mike Michael D Hansen, real estate broker
I rode my new to me TTR250 yesterday after riding my crf450x and I noticed it felt really cramped on the TTR. After checking, the footpegs on the TTR are at least 3-4" higher than the bottom of the bike. Is that normal, or did someone short put these on?
Gday guys, Forgive me for my lack of mechanical apptitude. I have a leaking head gasket, very small and slow leak. I am going to take my bike to the mechanics to get that repaired, my bike runs sweet and has 6500 kilometres. Would it be worth getting a new piston and ring done when the head is off?
So it doesn't matter about spacing the rings after all. To someone who has rebuilt an engine and then had sufficient doubts to strip it out to check the spacings, all I can say is that I wish I had known earlier!"Staggering ring gaps when installing pistons is every bit as daft as having four tyres fitte...
