What's wrong with the speedo? is there light and shows a 0, but no speed reading?

Rear shocks like hens teeth used and new ones no longer available, a rebuild may be your best option.

It should click as it rotates. TTR shocks are rebuildable, provided the chrome rod is in good order. I use Revs Racing suspension specialist in Halesowen, but some take on the task themselves. Brian and Steve have done it - see here:

ttr250.activeboard.com/t65402448/rear-shock-absorber-replacing-the-seal-head/

It might only need a regas.
Alternatively Wilbers can make you one for about 6 hundred quid!
