I just did a compression test on my bike for the first time. Here's a video of the first test: https://youtu.be/hdntwR44xtA And here's another video of a second test after putting some engine oil in the cylinder: https://youtu.be/yg6BeBRXtZA The compression builds a lot faster after adding the...
Hey all, I can't seem to dial in the free play and reach of my front brake lever. Even with the reach adjustment dialled in as close to the bars as possible the lever still sits far out. And there's so much free play that the lever hits my knuckles when using the brakes. Here's a video showing the issue: htt...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. When I have not started by TTR for a few month. when I come to start it it turns over easily but doesn’t show any hint of wanting to start. I then try it on the kick start and there is very little resistance. after 20 or 30 kicks resistance builds up...
Still wanted - Raid rear footrests and brackets. Please let me know if you have such a thing. Someone, somewhere, must have a set. They're rarely still attached to the bike, which means they're in a draw in a garage or similar, but they must exist somewhere. I am located in the East Midlands and I am willi...
What companies are out there that supply heavier rear springs? Teknik in Australia did have stock but not currently, I’m chasing a heavy spring due To long range tank & luggage
If you are thinking of buying a 350 kit, or rebuilding your engine, then there are loads of new and used parts in the Totally TTRs shop here. A couple of examples are crankcases here and a complete bottom end here (amazing value for money this one). It can sometimes take a while to get the crankcases bored...
Where to Start with this horror story well last Tuesday all was fine getting home from work to find cottage pie for tea yummy yummy now my gut's had given the od twitch in the afternoon at work an that's not the norm. But finishing off tea saw me sat outside for a fag quite happy next thing I get the thi...
Hi there, A friend recently got a kickstarter kit for his ttr and i think its brilliant. I know people have asked before but has anyone got a kit sitting around which they would like to sell? Thanks Dan
Hi all, I'm Jake just joined the forum and wanted to say hello. I'm 29 and looking at getting back into a bit of greenlaning, looking at a TTR250 for some local lanes and rides down to North Devon (do some rides with Nathan Millward) and Salisbury Plain. I'm Bristol based so will likely join the TRF and t...

Heavy rider around 105 to 110 kg, and I travel with estimate 15kg of kit, it's fair to say that I'm heavy for the stock setup. Seems hard to find suitable springs, strongly considering using hyperpro progressive springs, figure they will help to cope with damping. Hyperpro offer a kit for 1999 to 2006...
Hi from Australia I just scored myself a GYTR exhaust & Am going to a rejet after installing & opening the airbox i pulled a carb apart planning on upping the jetting from 50 to 52.5 for the pilot, & from 137 to 140 but upon disassembl, I found the stock from new I believe, to have 50 pilot &a...
Just joined the group. My names Dave. I'm 62 and just getting back into green laning after many years. Wondered if there are any like minded people in the Nottinghamshire area. Will post pic of my TTR later. Looking forward to chatting/reading TTR.
I changed out front sprocket and chain today. I know it's standard procedure to change rear sprocket also, but it showed little wear at all. My chain adjusters were at 12 before new chain, now they are at 6. I also replaced carburetor float bowl gasket. I went to start it up for the first time since No...
Good morning bois. My son bought and rebuilt a 2004 TTR250. It ran rough and wouldn't shift. He split the case. Put in a transmission. Honed the cylinder, new piston, new rings, new valves lapped in and leak tested. He couldn't get it to start. It's got spark. He claims he cleaned the carb out. Timing sho...
Hi guys i have a 2001 Yamaha ttr250 and when we got it we noticed that when you rev it the revs don't go back to idle they stay at the revs you were on and the only way you can get it back down is if you quickly rev the throttle. We have cleaned the carb checked the throttle cables and checked the choke but nothing...
Hi all I was wondering if you can help me I bought a ttr250 about a year ago I noticed the clutch was slipping so I decided to check the clutch plates and saw one plate had been snapped in a few places so I cleaned the motor out got the pieces out and put second hand plates for the mean time it lasted about 2 mon...
Hi, my name’s Tim , I live in East Devon. I’m currently looking to buy a TTR for cruising the Devon lanes . I see there are a fair few owners in this area already. Best wishes to all.
Recently bought this ttr any one on here recognise the reg/bike. I bought the bike from a guy in weybridge I’m in Cornwall. The previous owner to this previous owner was a member of the trf. Would be good to know the history of it 😁 -- Edited by neilc118 on Monday 11th of March 2024 10:05:32 PM
TTR 250, 2006, 2500 miles, must be one of the nicest TTRs. Selling because its not being used as you will see from MOT history. And will be loosing my garage in next couple of months. Runs like new and as you will see from the pictures must be one of the nicest in the UK. If you need any more info or pictures ple...
Hi all, I was out a couple of weekends ago on the TTR for the Borders Rally - first rally and a fantastic weekend... until the bike lost all drive! To start with the bike was having trouble finding gear - I'd kick the gear change lever up but it wouldn't find it. From what I remember this was third to four...
Brick cleaning acid works wonders on dirty exhaust headers but an alternative that I have recently found is to use a wire wheel on a bench grinder. Works really well and then just needs finishing off with some relatively fine wet & dry paper and Solvol Autosol. Brian PS Please excuse the messy benc...
As suggested by brindabella, I have started this thread to show my own choice of "proven/economical/useful workshop consumables". I have started off with my UK thoughts maybe other owners from USA, Australia, etc, can weigh in with their local equivalent brands...... First off, one o...
I had a couple of clutch covers that I had put to the back of the shelves as I couldn't figure how to repair it and the covers are too valuable to throw away. The challenge is to drill the thread out for the Helicoil insert absolutely at 90 degrees. This is the kit I used - not actually Helicoil but a copy: I enl...
Hello from Japan. I found a very nice 1994 RAID with just over 3000km on it ,so I signed a contract with a motorcycle shop yesterday and it is currently being delivered and serviced. The bike is 30 years old, so it is becoming rare even in Japan, the country of production. Please, seniors, tell me a lot abo...
