A forum for owners of Yamaha TTR250 trail and enduro bikes!

If you take some pictures of your harness and let me know any useful info, I'll see what I can do from here.

Vernon Thornton has just sent me a link to the workshop manual (your responsibility to check its safe) for a US model TTR - see here - thanks Vernon!

There is a coloured wiring at the end of the manual which I haven't examined but should be the same connections as your TTR.

Good luck!

Hello fellow TTR people. I know I have made a post with a similar title, but I want this to be my "formal" installation post. The Tusk Enduro Kit comes with: Front & rear blinkers, horn, on/off switch, multi-function switch (horn, blinkers, high/low/off), signal relay, power wire hookup, rear-view mirror, plastic brake light fender, and a brake pressure switch.

The kit does not come with mounts for the front blinkers, so I used these brackets for an ATV licence plate holder. They were originally bent in a circle to wrap around a grab bar but I flattened them out for this purpose. It is mounted to the triple-clamp bolt as seen here:

Here is a shot of the front of the bike:

Here is the majority of the Tusk wiring harness, and a nice view of my front setup. I hope you can see the headlight wires which I have spliced into the Tusk kit. (sorry for bad quality!)

And this is the wire which runs to the rear of the harness. It's kind of hard to see but I have it ran through the gas tank mount and zip-tied to a wire in the original harness.

And this is the "back" of the Tusk harness. It has the brake light, brake switch, blinker connections, and power connections (as well as my modded airbox hole)

Power wires from the battery:

Here is  the brake pressure switch which replaces the factory banjo bolt:

The horn, mounted to the brake line guide. To the left, you can see a black box with a yellow sticker which is the blinker relay. I mounted that to the odometer bracket. 

The kit does not come with a license plate holder either. This is the metal license plate holder which my front blinker mounts came with. I had to drill holes myself to make it all work. The top two little bolts hold the tusk brake fender to the bike's blue fender. The top two big bolts hold the metal plate to the tusk plastic brake fender, and the bottom two little bolts hold the license plate to the plate holder. Sorry I will get better at paint one of these days!

Here is an undershot (blurry I know!)

And here are my controls!

And that's it! I hope you guys find this useful/interesting and if you need clearer pictures or explanations don't be afraid to ask!

I have a 1999 ttr250, im in the process of making it street legal. I started installing the tusk lighting kit but there are a few things im not sure about.

1. does this kit replace the existing  headlight switch and on/off kill switch?

2. If it does replace them how do I eliminate the stock switches and convert over to the tusk kit.

3. I am clueless when it comes to electrical work but after reading many reviews about this kit I thought it was something I could handle. 

Please can someone help me with this, email me directly please   jt119923@hotmail.com    and if possible a phone number.

Thank you

I purchased a complete kit, im not sure what other details to give. So frustrated right now.

Yes sir, mine does not have the battery assist

It may be easier if you take a photo of the wiring harness and the switches with the connections spread apart so we can have a look at it. It should become apparent by looking at it?

If you want to upload a pic from your computer, have a look at the bottom of your screen while writing a message. It will have a tab labelled Attach Image(s)

Glad you got it sorted Jim

Please take as many pictures as you can, especially the headlight switch. This will help us in the future to verify the installation.

Cheers

Jarrah

Ihi hope the pictures will be in order in which I speak about
1. In regards to the headlight, I removed the PLUG IN, to use the male connectors thus eliminating cutting of the headlight wires. I did cut the tusk wiring to add the appropriate female connectorand wrapped all exposed metal with electrical tape.
2. Is the mounting location for the relay. At the odometer bracket location.
3. Horn mount location, I went with this side only because majority of the wire was here
4. Wiring tucked in with the stock harness and along the frame then neatly around the CDI and air intake. I did some notching of the airbox for neatness
5 just a shot of the underside rear fender.
With the TUSK on/off switch in the OFF position; the headlights function with the bike ignition in the on position and will shut off when the key is turned to off.

Again thank you Jarrah for your ear and input.

Which blinkers did you use?

 The Tusk Enduro Kit comes with all 4 blinkers. I noted everything included in the kit in my intro

i know this is an old thread, but I just purchased the exact same kit. How do the rear blinkers stay attached? It looks like they stick together with some sort of adhesive rather than bolt on. Wouldn't this cause durability issues while riding in the tight woods?
