Owned two of these, grey imports, great bikes. Used to go out with the TRF on them, and so handy having electric start! Years ago their was a conversion (Auz?) that allowed kick and electric, but no doubt long since gone. One of mine had an FMF pro-core4 fitted, and it sounded great. I believe they came into the country with jetting for Japan, that didn't suit our fuel? I had to change one of the jets (bypass / idle) to sort mine. Guys i rode with, had upwards of 40K miles on them, but the wear on bore and valves was getting high, and needing rebuilds. I would be amazed if the bottom linkages are any good now at that age? Always liked the purple rims, over the UK blue bike. They change hands now ( rusty, battered, and needing complete overhaul) than i paid in early 2000s!
I had a white and red TTR 250 open enduro a few years back, oem light is 35w, and rubbish, you can squeeze in a glass lens and 55w h4 from the newer blue ttr250, you can also get a speedo healer, to change it from kmh to mph, Mitas c02 on the rear is road legal, and will let the ttr go anywhere
Thanks for sharing your TTR 250 mods, not many in the UK. Those upgrades sound awesome. The light upgrade especially sounds like a great idea for better visibility. When I road home on the roads the other night it sucked.😄

Thanks for making this video. I have a 96 TTR 250 Raid so this has given me some motivation to get it cleaned up
Go for it! It gives you more confidence riding it knowing you have checked all those lose bolts 😄
Got a 93 about 3 months ago, using it for green lanes and vinduro. It’s started stalling during startup until warm though so something up.
I had bad compression so I did a leak down test and I could heard the intake valves were not seating. So it was hard to start
