My son washed out the front end of the TTR, now the forks and handlebars are not aligned. The bars are favoring the right side of the bike. Do I need to loosen to the headstem bolt, or do I start with the triple clamps and front axle? I would appreciate your kind assistance with this. Thank you.
Nasty weather here today so decided to spend some workshop time on carbs put back over the years for various reasons. A couple of them had seized float bowl drain screws - not unusual - so had a go with my LH drill bits and Easy-outs. This screw was not going to come out without a fight Tools used plus a LH d...

My latest buy, as I completed my motorcycle licence the other day (After three learner's permits and ten years of owning off road/enduro bikes) wanted to treat myself to something that I had always desired. I first rode one when I was 14 and fell in love straight away. The most common bike in Australia...

My two sons now also ride with me and...
A few months ago my 2011 model TTR-250 had a flat battery. Bought new battery. 3 weeks later flat again. Brought it to an independent mechanic. He said "needs new regulator". Charged me A$280 for new regulator + labor and he charged the battery. 3 weeks later flat again. He said "battery probably damag...
Hi, Just noticed the bottom of the rear shock is rubbing on the swingarm cross member. Any ideas as to why it might be doing this? Will adjusting the shock stop it happening??

It came to me in a dream..... and the dream was right! I ferreted through my shelves and discovered that I have the basic parts needed to build a new 325 engine So I have a re-sleeved and bored barrel to take the 325 Wiseco piston and, best of all, a pair of crankcases already bored for the oversize liner....
Well, not only did my son twist the forks on the TTR, he lost the key too!! Just bad luck ride last night. Anyway, how do I go about getting a replacement? Would this be a dealer only thing, or are there other available solutions? Thanks again.

...and what a nice bike they are. First thing that was obvious was more power, and it felt sporty and new. I could tell it was a more modern design and riding position setup. Had an aftermarket exhaust and sounded sweet. Its 6 months old and my mate has done 10k on it so far. He is addicted! I think the suspe...

So.. having some trouble getting the carb running right with any kind of open exhaust. Bike is a 2005 Bluey, jetting is standard, 50 pilot and 147 main. Bike runs fine with a standard exhaust, no hesitation or blips and pulls right through the rev range. I've introduced both a motad exhaust (which runs...
Hi All I am product testing a brand new full stainless steel exhaust, that has been made up for me by a very nice man in Stafford. So i fitted the exhaust and straight away you can hear the difference in exhaust note! A much more raspier affair, so I did a decibel reading using a app on my phone, the new exhau...
