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. None of these videos are any of us !!!! but a TTR has been up there [video=ht...

I am not looking to upgrade the tank size just maybe a different tank that looks more sleek maybe if a yz tank will fit id be happy I want one that looks better or where to get a stock one i am lookin...
Went out on the TTR today, refitted the DB killer from Staintune as last week it was shocking & it seemed good, I had a very slight flat spot last time I tried the DB killer but today it was fine, also had a different helmet on as well. Did a nice 130km loop up around the Barossa valley & back, couple o...

I picked up a rebored barrel for Steve this morning (first oversize so no double boring charge as was the case with the 280 kit I had done back along) and the price had jumped over an 18 month period from £46 to £54. Don't get me wrong, the finished honed bore looks spot on but I am just wondering what other ow...
And I drive on the right. Pretty good turkey day, family, food, more than a few IPAs, college basketball, and found a little time to load this vid from last Memorial Day. Siegfried Canyon, Plumas County, CA, nice dirt down there and more bears than humans. By July the dust is so bad we wait a minute or m...
Anyone have side panels and/or a seat they can sell? Long shot but I cant find any others than the one in Steves shop but shipping to AUS would be crazy expensive
I need a new throttle cable as I have noticed the lower of the two cables is starting to break apart near the carburettor end. I bought my TTR second hand and so don't know whether I need a standard or extra long cable. The bars are Renthal 966 but I don't know whether any bar risers have been fitted. What's t...
Hello all you friendly folks, I am busy prepping my bike for a 800k + trip and I will feel much more confident about doing the trip if i have a kickstarter. Anything can happen in the middle of nowhere, flat battery, starter packs up etc... And it will be good to have the kickstart as a backup I searched s...
I don't know how many Raid owners are here?.. I really like the "old school" headlight look A friend has sourced some headlight surrounds/headlights & screens from the Philippines; where he goes regularly (business NOT pleasure!)They are new, but not cheap..but they are near impossible to g...

Does anyone have a set of silver rims that they want to swap for purple rims? I have an extra purple set that i use to swap between my two TTR's but the purple looks odd on the bluey
Hello everyone, After owning my 04 since July,and dealing with a ride/seat height problem (I'm short) and riding all around Cornwall,Devon and several times in France, my friend and I decided to spend the day in the Totnes area,things were going great until 11am when I had an argument with a Dacia Dus...

Hello knowledgeable peeps I have just discovered the base gasket under the barrel is leaking oil - only very slight but sadly it is none the less. I say sadly, but what an excuse to finally pull apart and rebuild a motor (top end), and accidentally make it a 263 while I'm at it. Question for you all, I noti...
Allen here having just purchased Pete's blue ttr. I think Diggermanbob got fed up with me rumbling on about what bike to get next so it is all his fault. I used to service one for a mechanical numpty of a friend and we used one for the night stages of the D2D once so I am kind of aware just how versatile they are...
Hi everyone!

Was riding moto-trials last few years, and...
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
