OK.....fitted rear numberplate carrier and new number plate ( blimey had to show my driving licence as well )..so all legal now.

I'm going to replace the fork oil seals ( have the Yamaha OE ones ) but...what oil goes in the forks..I know 555cc in each leg but is it 5w or 10w?

Some pics when she is up and running.

New C & S going on this week as well then she is fully sorted

The proverbial TTR 250 bible http://www.ttr250.com/

Set up and run I think by Brian Sussex (used to/still is a member here) who has had a few and reckons they are one of the best trail bike available. He uses his for LDT's and all sorts.

Ah, I think he wants me to strip my forks down and take usual pics for the site ( oily hands so doubt it )

Looks like one answer for 10w then
