Following a very successful second attempt at the 2017 Taffy Dakar, three riders set their sights on another journey of rockier tracks, more mud, deeper ruts and wetter puddles. This summer the TTRookies got LOST IN WALES. To be continued... -- Edited by...
G'day All, Just joined the forum from sunny Queensland, Australia. I have recently acquired a 1995 TTR250, and will be rebuilding it at some stage, so maybe many questions.
Hi all My bike's PO told me to drain the valve on the oil breather line regularly. I was worried it was due to blow by, but I checked it today - +/- a week since I checked it last and +/- 50km - and I found a milky, mostly water mix in the drain nipple(?). If this was a water cooled engine I would be crapping myse...
Am I missing something to see a thread from the newest post / reply? At the moment I have to scroll past all the posts to see what is new. Most other forums have this functionality. Not a biggy though.
Reluctantly up for sale my Ttr, very good overall condition, such an under estimated machine. 6 months MOT, recent oil and filter, rear wheel bearings, x-ring chain and sprockets, 4mm inner tubes. Starts and runs on the button, air box opened up, jetted up with xr400 rear pipe goes well. 2003 with 130...
I’ve had it for almost a couple of years. Bought for green laning and a long trip.It’s done 22000 miles as I used it for a trip to Kyrgyzstan in 2016 but you wouldn’t know it - it’s in excellent shape, just the usual minor scrapes on the plastics. In preparation for the trip I had all the rear suspension and...
hey guys, just bought a ttr and, after a short ride im sure all's not well within the engine cases its noisy....as in it rattles at certain revs, couldnt decide if its a cam chain rattle, valve clearances or piston noise....or something worse !!! whipped of the valve cover, set it to tdc and found that...
Hi All In the search of my missing ponies on my new to me TTR 250 I found this site. I hope to learn from you and share where I can! My name is Lucas and I am addicted to motorcycling.
I want to get a bit more flow through the stock silencer. I read on another forum about making a hole next to the std hole in the tin can piece. It apparently misses some baffling that way and is not too noisy. Can anyone confirm that it is so? Some idea of the internal layout of the baffling would be grea...
Hi All, I don't currently have a TTR250 but am seriously considering one, I have a couple of friends with raids and have read a lot about the big trips done on these little bikes. I am a big yamaha fan and sold my wr450F earlier this year with the intention of downsizing and increasing service intervals!...
Hi All, have probably made the biggest mistake of my life. Have sold the best motorbike I've ever owned, my beloved 2005 TTR. Shed a tear as it was ridden away. As a result I have brand new OEM parts and other stuff for sale for those in Australia. I ended up with these parts because my best mate has the ident...
I am still busy reading and searching, but I thought I would put this out there so long. I was quite surprised when the new to me TTR felt like it topped out at 80km/h. This bike was well looked after cosmetically, but mechanically not so much - i.e. loved but not understood The bike takes forever to cat...
whats the typical speeds the ttr can go mine is standered and with trail wing tyres at 14psi tops out at 135kmh but feels more comfortable at 100-110 kmh.
does this sound about right.
Hi Floks, I'm a bit of a crime drama freak, and I've been watching the first series of "Top of the lake" over the last week. In the 5th episode, there were some biker types looking for a child in mountainous country in NZ, and low and behold one of them was riding TTR
i'm now on the hunt for plastics for an open enduro (OE),iv'e got myself an open enduro tank,seat(will need recovered) and frame(off to get cleaned and returned in a nice candy blue powder coat),so as my original frame was a raid,the panels are not suitable for this frame and not sure but rear mudwing a...
Stolen in Brighton yesterday, keep a look out Robin Webb's lovely TTR. Should be easily identified with black rims, 17" at rear plus modified seat and big tank. PM me if you spot it or hear of it - meanwhile I will get a proper phone number. Brian
I have tried my hand (Trish's actually!) at doing a couple of video tutorials to help owners removing and replacing their carb for the first time. I didn't really prepare properly so there is quite a bit of mumbling and senior "stuck for the words" moments so sorry about that! Here they are. In the first...
Ttr 250 year 2000. Bought as spares/project. It's been imported and I've notified nova, there is no import duty to pay, and I'm awaiting registration documents to proceed. The bike was purchased as a poor starter/runner. I've had the carb ultrasonic cleaned and new inlet manifold cleaned tank and f...
French import French import year 2000. Starts and runs on the button, mot ready, very little to finish. Nova informed and I've got the UK registration application documents. Low mileage/kilometres and the bike is totally standard, very good condition for it'...
Well Took the new Montesa out she's light fast lifts the front wheel quick an the clutch is to die for Throttle is very quick response with the fuel injection she is no TTr but then it was never going to be it's a trials bike with a seat an 45kg lighter than the TTr so small an easy to ride. Hears a little video...
Here in South Australia be have been hit with some really bad weather / storms, weather alerts etc. Thought I would take the WRR out, great conditions for the most part, missed most of the heavy rain but it really pissed down just after I got home, the high winds were shocking & really knocking me ar...
