I have a 2006 with low original hours I rebuilt the carb, changed the jetting, modded the exhaust and put 2006 Yz250f front end on it and brand new tires. it does great from the trails to the track it’s an amazing bike for what it is and I have only about 2000$ in it! I ride the f*@&$ out of it and it’s never had any issues or overheated.
I’m a Long time Honda guy, as well as an XR-R ‘fan boi’. The one thing that hurt my (appetite) for the XR250R was no electric start. When you’re in technical terrain, toward the end of the day, an E start is very, VERY welcome. TTR 👍🏼
I had one of these when I was a kid. It was a great bike but a little soft for aggressive riding. I ended up snapping the foot pegs off while landing to flat off a little jump. I have fond memories of this bike.
I remember that model quite well. I bought a brand new one back in 2000. It was a really nice bike with surprising power, since it had dual overhead cams, it revved out really well and pulled hard. I would have kept it longer, but I really wanted a YZ426, so after one year, I traded the TTR for a YZ426, which was a very awesome bike that I rode for many years.
Cool video. I just picked up one of these not running in decent shape for $100. I'm going to be posting videos of it on my channel, starting in just a couple days.
They don't make the TTR-225 anymore (like the 250) - I think they only produced that model for 1 or 2 years. It was replaced with the TTR-230 which is a different frame than the 225 and is now the top model in the TTR line. I have a 230 and its a decent bike for trails, but will probably look for a 250 as well - as the HP difference is huge 17 HP vs. 28 HP. Good video, but you keep hyping these bikes I'm going to pay more for them! :)
I have one of each (Australian models} , The TTR250 is a bit more beefier than a 1997 XR250R , Its more XR400R in size . The TTR250 motor is better , very reliable . electric and kick start . The TTR250 evolved into the WR250F .
@@jeremy-ez6nd goes well on the road, goes well off road, fairly quick (with mods), starts easy, not overly demanding on servicing, cheap to run & very durable. That’s pretty much everything, seeing as you’re trying to be clever.
Looking at buying one rn, what’s the average price for them? The one I’m looking at has a few skuffs here and there and is REALLY dirty but that can be fixed, Ide say it’s fair-good condition
Honda XR is really good. But don't sleep on Yamaha, the TTR 250 is not bad. You'll be able to get a TTR 250 cheaper though. But Honda holds value a bit more. Both great bikes in my opinion. 👍
@@BraapEffex that’s if you can find one, I never see these or drz 250s pop up. Xrs are more common but even then clean ones are getting harder to find.
They are great bikes. My dad had a 99 TTR 250 when I had my 98 XR 400. The XR motor was magic but I loved the handling of the TTR, perfect for tight woods. The forks on the TTR were the weak spot for me, just too soft and underdamped to really ride the bike to its potential.
IM LOOKING INTO DOING PERFORMANCE PARTS BUT I DON'T WANT A BIG BORE KIT IS THERE ANYTHING YOU RECOMMEND IM COMFORTABLE WITH THE SPROCKET SET UP IM GOOD ON HIGHWAY BUT LOOKING FOR MORE POWER I HAVE A PIPE SPROCKETS AND A BIGGER JET I WANT DO IDK CAMS IGNITION IDK WHAT TO DO WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?
If you sell let me know. I’d love to have it to get to the mine. I need something I can get in and out on. Last dirtbike was an ATK 406. I’m looking for 4 stroke trail now.
I actually just bought an 03 ttr250 for $1200 from my bud. It don’t idle right and it looks a little rough so I’m working on it. Right now the carb is laying out in the garage as I’m waiting for the rest of the carb kit which comes today. This helped thank you.
No XT250 was a competitor to XR250. Yamaha TTR250 is DOHC motors superior to Honda XR250 RFVC that was notorious for top end and valve problems which Yamaha had none of. Three times the life of XR250.
I have a ttr 250 and in my opinion it is better than the xr 250r the xr only has 5 speeds weighs 128 kilograms it's sohc the ttr has 6 speeds weighs 112 kilograms it is dohc Ttr is better

I just got one for 1900 street legal and perfect condition. I cruise around with traffic at 70. Love the suspension
Woah from where?
Private seller in Virginia
Im in va too where u from? How hard was it to dual sport?
Yours goes 70?!
I'm 6'3" 250# and can get mine up to 60, max. My gf rides it and goes faster, she's about 135#.

How Much did you pay in 2000 ?

Blessed, I got one for my first bike here in Australia, even has the factory kick start if I ever get stuck in the bush.
I dont have a 2004 ttr but i do have a 2004 crf250r and she barks and eatsssssssssss😏👌
I looked at them in 2000 new ones almost bought one
Those bikes are excellent.. 👍🏍👍
WR 250 is liquid cooled. Changed over to aluminum frame in 2007 I believe
Yes correct 👍
I just bought a 03 one and i cant wait to ride it. I got it for $1300 and it is in good condition.
Really miss the reliability of Yamaha and Honda
When you say was the last years of honda and yamaha being good? ( so i know which to buy)
@@Иванпонимаете-г4ш Early 2000's. Honda XR's were awesome bikes
get 1 and keep it, don't miss it if u have it

That's awesome 👍 and I agree with you, more reliable! 👍 👍
I have an 03 with 1000 miles on from new. I’ll never part with it as it does everything.
define (everything)...??? it drives like every dirtbike is made 2 do 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

$1000 to $1500 is fair if it needs work. For a clean one is about $2500 to $3000
@@BraapEffex Good, that’s about what I was expecting LOL, most the time when I ask these things the price is outrageous😂😂
I just picked one up running and driving for 1000$
That's awesome, Incredible deal 👍🏻
What one you think is better honda xr or the yamaha

Double over head cam what helps them i almost bought one back in 2000
Yes definitely 👍 👍
@@BraapEffex how does it help when it doesn't have any more valves.
I'm gonna get me a Honda CRF250F, I love the smaller air cooled bikes
This is a nice bike i am looking to get one soon and was looking at these.nice
I just picked up a 2005 ttr.
Trail and street
That's awesome 👍
Did you have to get a kit for blinkers etc?
@@bonavita5683 This particular model is a off road enduro bike only. Tusk sells a kit, that you can make it street legal 👍
They are great bikes. My dad had a 99 TTR 250 when I had my 98 XR 400. The XR motor was magic but I loved the handling of the TTR, perfect for tight woods.
The forks on the TTR were the weak spot for me, just too soft and underdamped to really ride the bike to its potential.
the wrench has many uses 🤦♂️ (adjust 2 ur preference) 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@jeremy-ez6nd they needed to be revalved and resprung for aggressive riding. Very underdamped.
Super
I got the same bike
I bought in 2011
Thank you for video.
DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TTR250?
Yes I do have.
@@Koko.braw.stars.2018 I JUST GOT ONE ABOUT A YEAR AGO I RIDE IT ON STREETS MOSTLY IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO AS IN MAINTENANCE WISE

Mantap
I have one
I will race you on any trails with my 01 xr250r. Not saying I'll win but I'd still love to. 😁 Give you a hell of a run though.
If you sell let me know. I’d love to have it to get to the mine. I need something I can get in and out on. Last dirtbike was an ATK 406. I’m looking for 4 stroke trail now.
Im selling one right now in Michigan… Runs like a top!

Does this use the same frame as the dt125 .
They are electric or combined electric and kick start, never kick start alone.
Probably the best trail bike in its class.
Totally agree 👍
Super awesome video
@braapeffex i have the same bike and im looking for advice on the maintenance and i also have a few questions
Clean 💯💣
duhh washed it for the vid 2 tell us the weather 🤷♂️ it's never been drove posted this vid as proof it has zero miles 🤣
love that bike
Iv never owned one not many iv havnt owned in the last 35 years iv owned 170 bikes lol
That's awesome 👍 I'm getting there, 😂
Where did you get the sticker for the gas tank
Not sure, I bought it that way.
how tall would u have to be to ride this bike comfortably
Anywhere from 5'7 to 5'11
@@BraapEffex thanks man 🙏
@@Orsalk3 Because under 5' 7" you cant or over 6'+ you cant either...physically just impossible I recon....you MUST be 5'7" to 5' 11" or u r f*cked?
Can you still find a replacememt head for this model?
Have a friend that's getting one and was wondering if it has a cv carb?

Where is the kickstart? Mine has one
Electric start makes it better.i love xrs i have 2 ,250 400 both kick right that suks.
Do you know where I could buy one from
Unfortunately I don't know exactly. But try Craigslist or bike trader online.
Facebook market
great bike but will take the xr250 just becouse it has a kick starter
There hard to find.
I have a ttr 250 and in my opinion it is better than the xr 250r the xr only has 5 speeds weighs 128 kilograms it's sohc the ttr has 6 speeds weighs 112 kilograms it is dohc
Ttr is better
How long have you had your bike and hows the maintenance
I've got one 🙂
ttr has bad suspension a dud, not like Honda xr your dreaming 4 strokes are a joke. WR 250r much better for a 4 stroke
