what do you guys think of the TTR125L's? i might have the chance to shop around for one soon, and i wanna put some street tires on it, do you think TTRs hold up good?

My buddy is rockin an 04 TTR. Hes had it for about a year and its held up pretty well. I heard they have oil problems though, ask 91vempo he knows more and he came up with a solution with an oil catch can. My buddies blows white smoke out the exhaust after he sets down a long wheelie like hes buring oil. Dunno if its bad or not he just adds a little oil now and then and is good to go. Oh also my buddy has the Pirelli Sport Demons on his (same as I run on my XR 100 and loves them. You can fit the 100/90-19 on the front but its a damn close fit! Rear he went with a 110/90-16. Overall I would say they are a good bike, I would rather have a Honda but Honda has nothing to compete with the TTR 125. The CRF 150 is a heavy ass tank and the CRF 100 has no disc brake. So if you are lookin for a compramise the TTR is perfect. Hope this helps!

If anything, DONT RACE THEM! They suck balls for racing, believe me. But they're hella fun for street riding and huckin it sideways. It seems like most people don't get the point of putting street tires on a dirt bike, and it makes me sad

We've never had a problem with ours.. and they've been heavily abused. After a year they still run perfect. Note: if you run em in the high RPM's alot on one wheel you'll need an oil catch can.

Whats up Brett, I see you changed your name. What does it mean? I never even knew what your old name meant, lol. I been meaning to ask you, since you are the only other person I know that stunts a TTR, does yours blow white smoke out the exhaust? My friend has had his for about a year now and it still runs fine, but we were just wondering if this is normal. It usually happens after setting down a long wheelie....

Yeah, the white smoke is more than likey oil making its way up from the crankcase vent and spilling out onto the exhaust or head. You shouldn't have a problem with this is you keep the RPM's low to mid range even during long wheelies.

You could put a oil catch inline... or just learn not to rev it so high

oh and that's my last name

sean94z · 10-21-2004, 01:26 AM

haha cool last name, sounds like a german tank or something.

Anyways I guess its just normal then, we call the TTR the spy hunter bike cuz it smokes and leaks oil, lol

Classic. Wish I could get my hands on one of the original stand-up arcade versions of that game. Talk about childhood memories!
