I finally had a chance to try the TTR for a day trip. My mate on his TTR planned the route. We covered +/-230kms for the day. Some tar, but about 70% gravel and real jeep tracks. Overall consumption was 21kms/l. This included 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear technical for long sections. A basic route plan could...
Pleased to be a member of the forum. I'm a motorcycle lover, 67 years young and enjoying my bike. Started riding again after a short break of 25 years!
Hello. I acquired my TTR 2 months ago, and have been wondering what this shim is for? Is this a big bore kit any of you are familiar with? No engine problems so far. Just curious as I know this bike has been heavily modded and the previous owner also has no idea. Dunno how many hands she's been passed to. :ha...
My brother in North Dakota sent me on a goose chase looking for ... wait for it ... fig jam. The good man misses some goodies from back home (South Africa) and in particular a very specific fig jam, that the good people of North Dakota seems to be enjoying in equal measure. So I jumped on the TTR Saturday,...
Just a few picks of the TTR before it went to a new home, a few things I'll miss, 6 gears, a really nice smooth clutch, and the almost stealth quality of the engine, it just purred, that the most I think So thanks lads for all your help and advise over the years, it was always a pleasure to drop into the forum....

I'm taking my forks apart because one of the stanchions is bent from a bad fall I had in Portugal. I need a special tool to take it apart and although it's possible to do it without, I prefer to know it's done properly when I put it back together. I have an alternative reason here for wanting a tool, I recentl...

My TTR250 stock exhaust has a distinct bend/kink where the stainless trim covered pipe section joins the main body of the exhaust. Are they meant to be like this or are they supposed to be straight? -- Edited by Benjah on Thursday 21st of September 2017 01:03:57 AM
Further to owning a 1993 TTR250 OE from late 2014 to April 2015 for a project to ride from the UK to Portugal to off-road and build a 19ft diameter Mongolian yurt, I have just bought another TTR in Queensland, Australia. I'm a documentary photographer and concentrate on photographing and interviewin...
Hey guys, I work away at an evil place called olympic dam. However there is plenty of good riding up here - great red sand for miles. My TTR needs to be geared down to have more power to ride through this thick sand. Does anyone have any reccomendations for a ratio where I would be able to sit on 100 km/h all da...

So after what appears to be months of sorting paper work and counting the numbers it would appear the men and women at the top have a new plan after May 20th next year all motor vehicles older than 1978 will not just have free road tax but will not need to present it for a MOT Test each year as well. So 40 year ol...

Hi All I have a customer in America that ordered both Blue side panels for his sons bike, but it turns out he has a TTR225 and they won't fit. He is willing to sell them for what he paid with free shipping in the USA, anyone interested? Steve
Is there anyone on here entered in this rideout in October? I think it's full, but as I don't Facebook and the organiser hasn't replied to my email, I'm not sure. Four of us want to go up there, but as some of the Devon guys might know, we're a bit antisocial - make an exception for a party (like the A2E), but...

Went through a few fords last weekend and have hit some deep-ish puddles in the past, although I don't think I've actually gone over the hub...
