Hello everyone! I have just joined then forum to seek some help with my TTR 250, i have been given my uncles one as its been sitting in our yards containers for many years now. Its a TTR 250 U.S Version and i cant get the motor to spin even when i have taken the battery off using jump leads directly to the starter motor while earthing to the frame etc. So i have decided to see if i can bump the bike, no avail, after that i took the plug out and since there is no kick start on it i decided put it in 2nd and bump it down a hill while trying to look at the spark plug (while it was touching the metal). Couldnt see anything... Now i think the electronics on this bike are buggered as i took the tank etc off to expose all the wiring and oh my am i confused... im not used to this, i usually work on MX bikes and Quads.. Has anyone got any idea of how i can just wiring this thing to spark and a cut switch? after all all of the clock and speedo and things are real buggered so i might make it into a fun fiel bike with a straight pipe exhaust hehehe. any help would be appreicated
It is possible to run the TTR bypassing all the accessories that are unnecessary for a field bike.
PeteNZ posted up details of his stripped back wiring loom several years ago - see photo below.
Here is another annotated example of a stripped back loom:
The following photo compares the standard loom with the mini loom which is pictured inside and picked out with a free-hand drawn white line.
I am sure there is a thread covering the topic on the forum but haven't been able to immediately find it. Someone with a bit more time and motivation might be more successful
Thankyou very much for your fast response and your help, i shall see if i can figure this out via photo on my bike tomorow (well today).. i should be able to get the ball rolling with these photos, later help and if you find anymore photos would be more than welcome. thanks again :)
