Welcome to TTR land, Pablo.

A workshop manual can be downloaded by CLICKING HERE.

I think you will locate your lighting troubles by checking the wires, bulbs and connections on the bike.

Tyres are a personal thing and dependant on intended use. I'd advise trying the ones you have first - you will then get an idea of what YOU want. confuse

Topabli,
Swweeet looking bike/Welcome to this site. Lots of folks here to help with your questions.

You SURE don't want to do much hard off-road riding with those tires, especially the front one! If you do hit the dirt, be careful! I am with Martin though, ride it a bit before you switch. If you plan on riding dirt AND street with the same set up you need a tire designed for that situation. Your back tire looks to be a ON/OFF road tread and may work ok like it is, even though it looks a bit worn to me??

Don't know what to say about your lights staying on. My lights (2004 TTR250sc) only work when I have switch by left side grip ON, and I can see yours is NOT the same. I am 101% dirt (no speedo). Yours is set up for riding the street and works different.

Do you know where it was made? This may help everyone solving your issues, as they are NOT all set up the same throughout the world. They don't even make the 250 here in US anymore, I think its a 230 or 225 now.

Hey guys!!!

Thanks you both for the answers!!!

It seems that I was just drowning in a glass of water. I took my girl to the garage and the mechanic discovered that the right handle cover (that white Acerbis thing) was pushing the right break, so it was just a matter of losing it a bit and the lights came back to normal.

I 100% agree with you that I need some new tires, specially for the front before getting some dirt. I'm gonna buy it these days, I'll post a picture with the new tire when I have it.

As Greg said, this is not a real 2012 bike. I just learned this a few days ago, when I met a guy who is a TTR owner and told me that, here in Chile, the TTRs were delivered in different years than original ones because of importation timing, custom delays and dealers storage matters. This is an apparently Japanese model from 2007 that was delivered by the Yamaha dealer in 2012, so it was registered and sold that year from the Yamaha shop here in Chile, but originally built in Japan on 2007

Thanks also for the Owner's manual. I'm studying it by now, and getting prepared to comunicate with the bike better.

Thank you Martyn and Greg. I'll let you know the news about my babe.

Hugs!!!

Pablo
