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

Very nice looking bike! What will you be riding at the same time? Any information about the trip?:)

Pearl is looking good. Love a TTR Resto.
Enjoy the trip.

Cheers guys. It’s nice bringing a bike back from the dead. As many of you will know the cost far outweighs the value of the bike but it’s a bike my wife really loves. The frame is powder coated, you can’t tell in the pictures but it’s a metallic purple and looks great in the flesh. As well as the frame and swinging arm coated we did the hubs and rims along with the shock spring before it went off to Gibbs for a rebuild. The top end was rebuilt, forks serviced, new clutch, carb rebuilt, exhaust repaired, fitted renthals, all the cables replaced, new battery, tyres, chain & sprokets, heated grips, replaced nuts and bolts, all bearings replaced, fitted DRL’s, and some other stuff I’ve probably forgotten!

A friend is taking the bikes to Bulgaria and we’re riding from there to Serbia, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine then into Russia. The bulk of the trip will be spent exploring the Caucasus, Abkhazia, Chechnya, Dagestan, North & South Ossetia, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia then heading back via Turkey! To say I’m excited is an understatement!
