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

Hi All

Well after a long hiatus due to work related stuff
(Started a new business and it seems to be humming along nicely now)

It's time to reacquaint my self with some of my toys, chiefly is the TTR, well I think I rode it down
the road a few times because I couldn't be bothered to actually walk the dog
so I rode and the dog follows, in fact he loves it
Yeh Yeh, Bike Bike Bike, Stick Stick Stick, Bike Bike Bike etc... you get the picture !
The battery nearly went completely flat, just enough juice for 1 start and the tyres had about 2psi in them

Also intend do do a bit of Archery again, my compound bow actually has spiders living on it !

So it's starting to cool down here again now, it's a delightful 14c here as I type and drizzling (does that sound a bit like England ?)
Visability of about 100 mtrs at Wentworth falls and Katoomba today
Yesterday it was 34c, hot and most uncomfortably humid.

Remove turn/signal/neutral display and replace with led's
Strip down speedo and remount without all the unnecessary weight

REPAIRS
