My new to me TTR225
I've had a real craving to get myself a dirt bike
And kinda lost interest in my trike We'll not so much lost interest in the trike. But enjoy riding 2 wheels a lot more So I listed my beloved big red Priced it high to see what would happen. Well it sold shortly after http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...36fe5e02b5.jpg I had a bike I was interested in lined up already as I'd offered to trade but the seller was not interested in trades. So I told him I'd get ahold of him if my trike sold I lined up a viewing today and loaded it up shortly after It's a 2001 TTR 225 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...d42dbd4739.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...76f66e6a49.jpg I wanted something my wife could grow into aswell it's still a little tall for her. But she's still learning bikes right now anyways and has fun on my 100 dollar xr80 That's my excitement for the weekend Dave |
That's the perfect trail bike, and you got the big wheel version. Son of Weldangrind wants one in the worst way. Does it have aluminum or steel rims?
|
Congratulations; the TT-R225 is a great bike. :tup:

MIGHT look into adding lights and seeing if I can get it road worthy down the road Seller included a California title with it (originally came from the states) not sure if it'll help but I have it Dave |
Nice wee bike.... pretty bullet proof...
knowing Yamaha it maybe restricted... Check that the throttle opens all the way up & that there's not a restricter in the end of the header pipe.... I toss a 05 TTR250 around the trails from time to time... have fun... |

A steel rim would have been bent and subsequently tossed in the scrap pile. If your rims are still round, ride them as they are. If they ever bend, you'll find a good value in Warp 9 rims. Quote:

Ahhh
Oh well dident buy it to make it street legal So no biggie Dave |
I'm going to be doing an oil change before I really take it out for a ride.
The previous owner has it overfilled. Hive to lean the bike away from the sight glass quite a ways before seeing the top of the oil level. My question is. I bought 20w50 motorcycle oil for this Owners manual says 10w30 or 20w40 Am I ok with the oil I got ? Thanks Dave |
20W50 is just fine, and in fact it's better in this hotter weather.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Just wanted second opinion Dave |
You're welcome. I run 15W40 Rotella year-round, but I probably should run 20W50 when it's over 30C.

Yamalube is Motul 5100 repackaged...
Cheaper as the Motul brand |
Did the oil change today. And I don't know if it's in my head. But I think it runs better
Even if it doesn't I'm still going with it does lol The previous owner had way way to much oul in this thing. Drained over 2L I'd say Oil change only requires 1L http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...7cfabd5daf.jpg I also did some checks I wanted to do before buying it. But didn't have any tools Multi metered the battery with bike off and on wanted to be sure it was charging properly Pass Wanted to check air filter but again no tools Looks like some drilled the air box out already. I've read it's a very common mod on this bike http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...7b4ca8ac5c.jpg Took filter out. Looked good. Cleaned it and re oiled it anyways I also ordered a couple key blanks I work at a door shop so I'll just cut them myself But bike only came with one http://www.ebay.com/itm/271138404411 Couple fun shots daddy and Haileys bike http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...365f0ad2a5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...54cbe9e540.jpg Thanks for looking Dave |
Blue is for boys, and pink is for girls. ;)
:hehe: |
The bike definitely runs better now, if it had 2l in it! Good job you changed it.
Awesome pic of the bikes together. :D |
