TT250 "Mikuni" and Jetting
After taking delivery of my new TT250 in late June I needed to make a few "adjustments," so I did the air-box delete/trash can mod, pod filter, $30 "Mikuni", exhaust change, and then started...

TT250 Dead Battery
Well my TT250 had a dead battery for a very different reason: lack of water. When I took delivery of it in late June I checked everything out and the battery was at the full line as far as I could...

Run a Tap Down Thise Threads!
I found that you need to run a tap down those sprocket holes. I'm not sure if they are full of locktite or were never threaded well but after doing that the CSC supplied bolts threaded smoothly with...

Shifter and Levers?
I am likewise interested in levers, but I would like "shorty" clutch and brake. All those years dirt riding, I don't feel comfortable using more than two finger on the brake, and I usually just sort...

Carrier and Tie Down
I have a maybe 20 year old steel carrier that has the angle at one end to keep the forward motion stopped. I had toyed with the idea of one of the aluminum ones as this steel thing is heavy, but now...

TT250 Mods
IIRC the current 2018 TT250s come stock with the 17 tooth front sprocket. I honestly didn't count mine when I replaced the shifter but I am pretty sure that it is a 17T. (I bought my TT250 in Late...

Idle Screw and Mikuni VM26 Clone on TT250

Any Idea What Mikuni This Is? (CSC TT250)
I bought a bargain basement "Mikuni VM26" on Amazon for less that $40. I should have known it was too good to be true. I ordered an assortment of mains and pilots and the mains fit just fine. The...

Front Fork Fun

TT250 vs 250 Nighthawk
