hi guys, awesome to be here. Thank god this forum exists,
Just purchased my first ever motorbike the other day and it just happens to be a TTR250 1997 Open Enduro.... It's a ripper, although the bum is a bit saggy and the front end wobbles a lot it's now my interim trusty demon until the new Tenere 660 comes along later this year. Stripped her down tonight for a front shock rebuild tomorrow, new intermediates front and rear and if I can work out how to get the rear shock out, that will be done too. The battery held a charge overnight and it started within a second this morning. The electronic speedo works a treat and suprised the hell out of me considering how old the bike is. Well I'm of to see if anyone can help me with the rear shock issue.
Cheers
Craig

Hi LRJ, I'm a Electrician by trade but also used to be involved in a family Stihl dealership, so I was really good at pulling chainsaws apart, then putting them back together with many parts left over! Same goes for my TTR at this stage, I have a 6mm screw left over that I can't for the life of me pinpoint it's old location...

Rear shock is a doddle take slack up with a jack under the engine unbolt removable brace on left side then take out air box and shock comes out easy hope that helps .Keith
