It's looking bad, like I probably won't be able to come back in tomorrow either. In fact, I'd better not come in until Monday just to be certain it's cleared up!

Your running out of room for your signature.

Must be some virus originating from Azusa, California.

I guess it's a good sign that ughmas hasn't posted... He must be having a great time!

I was told the TT250 has a 108 main jet and comes lean for sea level. Here is the location I was given for getting jets. Was wondering what motorcycle is equivalent for selecting the jets. Is there other less expensive jets that will fit this bike?

Just confirmed color and delivery for my TT250

And on a side note. With all the excited hollering over the E-mail, there some really friendly guys with white coats that want to take me for a ride.

Spoke with Gerry the other day and he said the same thing. The 108 is a Keihin style jet. You can get the DJ jets but need to convert the DJ jet sizing to Keihin sizing. JetsRUs has a conversion chart between Keihin, DynoJet and Mikuni.

Thanks for the info. I see Jetsrus has them cheap. Would this work for the TT as one size up from the stock 108. Nice that Jetsrus gives dimensions. Don't know what the Keima jet dimensions are thou.

Haha something like that.... unfortunately didn't get to start uncrating it until it was close to dark, and my garage doesn't have the best lighting at the moment, so I didn't do any pics or vids yet.

However I finally freed it from its wooden and cardboard cage, put the levers and mirrors on and threw some gas in it... Started right up! was able to get a few spins around the block before I had to clean up my mess and get ready for sleepytime. (wasted most of the night chatting with the neighbor who was really impressed by it (crf250L owner)

Initial observations and impressions:

Bike looks awesome! fit and finish really impressed me... there was a couple light scratches on the handlebars and headlight lens but nothing too noticeable, everything else was in great shape.

Pretty quiet with the stock exhaust but its not as horrible sounding as I thought it would be... I already have an aftermarket exhaust for later but the stock will do for now.

I have only ridden a dual sport once (dr650 I rented in CO last year, which started my thirst for a dual sport but thats another story) and I am used to my CBR600RR so obviously it felt a little weird at first but will just take some getting used to. The Shifting was actually really smooth on my bike and I had no trouble finding neutral. Standing up on the bike felt really good, shocks felt OK so far (front travelled smoothly) however I will need more time on it to get a better idea. Overall I love the bike so far and it will serve my purpose well.

Notes/adjustments:

Before you ride CLEAN both brake rotors well with brake clean or something suitable, I forgot to do this and I virtually had no brakes when I first took it out. Once I sprayed and wiped them down (lots of grease came off) and did a few stops they started working MUCH better

Tomorrow I am going to take the headlight off and probably check/reroute brake line and speedo cable, they feel a little jammed up but I did not get to look at everything closely tonight

The only "gripe" I have so far is the dip in the seat kinda jams you forward a bit and it is not the most comfortable, This will be easily correctable though with just a gel pad or something in the dip.

I most likely will roll the handlebars forward a tiny bit, just to fit me better, as others have done.

that's it for now, Ill post pics and videos and more details once I get some more time with it this weekend. Feel free to ask me any questions!

I think those will work. The DJ style jets will fit also and are super cheap as well. Get a few to tweak and see what works best for you. I think you have to call DynoJet to order.
