Was it running ok previously or has this just started. These bikes have a poor petrol tap. They can become very stiff to fully open, always a possibility that the tap isn’t functioning. Had to replace one on my sons for exactly this reason
Sorry I don't have any advice for straightening levers, but on a related note, is there a shorty lever option for the TRS front brake? That might contribute to fewer bent levers.
Sadly, not yet. There is a dimensional difference between these Braktec levers on the TRS & generic levers that are "supposed" to fit.
I have Apico shorty levers from my Beta I tried on my TRS. They fit but there is a few MMs difference (+) from pivot to push pin & I didn't want to risk it.
I slid my masters in as far as they would go & it gives about an inch of clearance from end of levers to end of bars.
How about getting some sheet ally of a suitable thickness and shape welded to the sides of your baseplate.The aftermarket one in the pics doesn't look wide enough to protect the areas that concern you
You are correct. I found some pix of a used 2018 RR w/CSP plate on Sandiford Racings website. The CSP covers the flywheel area better but the frame area in front of the pegs is still exposed.
I made cardboard templates today, just have to do the hard part now & cut the aluminum.
If i where to buy a new trs the one thing which i would do is put a wider skid plate on it, to help protect it. I am still considering getting it for my one at the minute.
as it says , has anyone fitted an in-line filter on a TRS rr , mine didn't come with one , and I thought it would be good to fit one , simple job new hose with a filter in the middle , not been on a test ride but had a little 10min around the garage all seemed ok ..
In the clear filter it seems to not fill up completely ? , and has a little air in there .. bike seemed to run ok .... was thinking was there a reason why a filter wasn't fitted as standard , by fitting one could/would this mess up the fueling of the bike ?
im prob over thinking this ...
You're good. My current & last bikes w/inline filters had a small bubble or space visible.
@taff_d: I hope that is correct. That is 2010 & previous Scorpa SY250 available from Talon in 10 to 14. Please post up when you get a chance to try it.
Anyone had a chance to figure out if the smaller spline on the 18 & up RRs is the same as any other existing spline? Not seeing anything after market except "DOES NOT fit 18 & up RRs". Would like to try an 11 front/bigger rear for different ratios & longer chain/sprocket life.
The TRS Ones were supposed to get the new kickstart for 2019. The RRs got the new design in 2018. There is a video on you tube under TRS USA showing the new design. If this is a poll, I would choose the new design. I haven't read of any issues either, I just like the new design better.
My guess is the cork crankcase stuffers are expanding and rubbing against the casings,it'll ride like you're back brakes sticking on.
I think this is a known problem and sadly requires an engine strip .
I've a 16 80 that does it occasionaly at the minute I'm getting away with it as it's only used for playing.
I heard leaving the fuel on causes the cork stuffers to expand when it fills the crankcase so make sure it's always switched off when left.
Must be plenty know about this.
Almost nothing surprises me anymore about this bike but cork? Luckily, I have always shut my petcock after every ride. Whoever spec'ed that lousy little slippery knob poor excuse for a petcock should be kicked squarely/firmly/repeatedly in the mommy/daddy button.
I know someone with I think a 2014 (might have been a 2015) with some issues with running correctly caused by manufacturing debris in the fuel tank getting into the carburetor. If you don't already have one I might put a fuel filter on it and check/clean out the carburetor as a first step.
Good luck.
Make sure you blow out the overflow ports/hoses as well when cleaning the carb. If I over oil my 2015 evo 80s oil filter it runs burbly rich but it it runs rich right from cold to hot.
Hi everyone, I'm new here. I have owned my 24R since June. Now that its getting dark earlier now I need light. Have any of you installed any light on your bike.
@Spence: Definitely look at mtb lights, one for your helmet & one for the bars.
What kind of riding are you doing with the 24R? How far are you going or how is battery life? I have considered one but would have to buy a spare battery to cover the distance I want to go.
Anachronism, mine was a new 2018 RR 250, the engine is fine, clutch is good, no dragging and easy gear/neutral selection, starts easy. Handles well and stays nice and steady over microwave sized rocks and slabs.
Comparing to GG and personal experience/preference, the TRS doesn't turn as easy takes more effort on tight stuff, needs another gear (the jump from 4th to 5th is too much of a gap) doesn't grip as easy on wet grass or clay.
Airbox let's as much water in as a GG, the airbox snaps off very easily I've seen a few of these go, mine included, my water pump impeller sheared its drive splines from its brass insert, the fan didn't work because the multi plug wiring was defective, I've seen and know of others that have snapped the rear linkage, mine had play on the swinging arm bushes from new, the engine and swinging arm paint is self peeling, the radiator guard is insecure, the radiator is awkward to top up.
Any way time to go but you pay your money you make your choice.
@sirdabalot: That is a depressing list. I know what that is like.
Two questions: When you say water in the airbox you are riding in very wet conditions?
How/when did you realize the water pump wasn't pumping, constant boiling over?
They're not perfect. I'll be going back to a Gas Gas, which aren't perfect either. But buy the RR for the lovely suspension.
@sirdabalot Define not perfect: heavy, turn slow, expensive, fragile? I am considering a 2019 & looking for any negative feedback. All I have read has been positive. The RR seems to get the nod as it is only a few dollars more for the good stuff.

Dedicated new thread for this promising new wee beastie.
Who has one or is waiting for theirs to arrive?
I am curious how it stacks up against the aged Beta B/W 80. Looks like a big bike rear & small bike front. Very neat.
