Keep both and do a restoration on the XR to keep it as a classic on your garage. The TTR is one of the best dual bikes ever made both the 250 and the 600

[@TBSL71]

I`d love to keep the XR, It`s an awesome bike, but I have other bikes I want to own and try and can`t keep them all lol

[@simonmears1726]

Id keep xr no electric leg bumber however few mods on xr pipe jetting fork spring s oil weigh s braided brake line s which is all easy to do results in a bullet proof bike that can hold its own in bigger capacity company 😊

[@TerrenceLP]

Dude you own a couple of great bikes that aren't built The way they used to build them. 🎉 Just have fun and enjoy all the quabbles and maintenance

[@TBSL71]

Yeah , they don`t and can`t build them like this. i do wonder how many modern bikes will still be out there in 30+ years time? not many i reckon

[@Trigsbroom]

I've owned both, very different bikes. The XR was unburstable, but hot starting was a real problem, really not ideal in the middle of a 6 hour enduro. TTR was a better all-rounder, I only had problems with the spragg-clutch, otherwise excellent.

[@TBSL71]

agreed on both accounts. I have decided to keep the TTR and invested in some mods like 22l acerbis tank, 13/48 gearing, better clutch with stonger springs, shorty levers etc. also got a 350 kit on order which I will post a series of vids once it arrives.

[@r0ckworthy]

So wait: the TTR has an extra-high 6th gear, or is the gear ratio just higher in general for all the gears?

[@TBSL71]

I think the gears seem a little more spread and the 6th seems a little longer, however I have just changed the gearing to 13/48 for a more off road trail riding bias as i burned the clutch out on some technical stuff in Wales last time out

[@lukecollman9145]

The yamaha is stronger Australians have flogged them to death. Your clearly haven't studdied or owned these bikes long. I have has a couple if both.. Ride an XT 600 you will fall un love! Both great bikes and very similar.

[@TBSL71]

yeah not lived with them too long, the XR is definitely more playful. Back out on the TTR tomorrow for a day mixed lanes so will get a better idea of the bike

[@blackpearlpastoral]

Does your ttr leak fuel when you lean it over when stationary ?

[@TBSL71]

obvs would leak out of the carb if dropped on side. Is that what you mean?

[@blackpearlpastoral]

@@TBSL71 nah around 45 degrees - had the float checked and it seems ok - just found it a bit odd

[@TBSL71]

@@blackpearlpastoral Hey mate. Ok, I was out on the trail yesterday, vid coming soon, and yes, you`re right, If I put the bike over 45 degrees to the left a breather pipe lets petrol out, doesn`t seem to happen to the right. strange indeed
