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

This is one of the harder trail rides around this area..

I had not done it before... They are about to start logging

the area... so it was now or never.....

It consisted of a 40km loop with 2 enduro sections..

the track was totaly under trees apart from a 3km river section

with 15 or more water crossings.. the main track tight turns around the trees

with wet slippery trees roots just waiting to toss yer on the ground

which happened more times than I could count...

the worst part is the climbs... turning around trees over the roots

so yer couldn't carry any speed for the climb...

by the time we done the loop the 2nd time the ground had been cut up quite

badly... so the roots were more exsposed... I put the bike down mostly on

this lap.. running out of strength to fight the bike over the roots..

The pics don't really show how step these hills are... the TTR spend most of

the time in 1st gear & not often getting any higher than 2nd gear.. the

13/44 gear was not the most suitable ratio for tis type of terrain..

The Rekluse clutch was pure magic in the trees.. made life a lot easyer..

didn't get meany pics... heres a few...
