steve Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hi all, I recently bought a used TRS 250 RR and so far I've been delighted with the bike. I went through the rear end greasing linkage and swinging arm and was very pleased with how easy it is to work on. My only minor gripe I found was the airbox lid didn't fit very well. I remember seeing the bike once with the previous owner and noted he was using a ring of pre cut clear vinyl to cover the gap. The problem seemed to be the sides of the lid were lifting up, i.e the lid had flattened. Having fitted a clean air filter I didn't fit the lid immediately, instead I put the lid in the vice and gently squeezed it closed a little and left it a week. Today I removed the lid and was delighted to find it now fits perfectly. I did a little search and didn't see anything else posted about this, apologies if it's already been discussed to death!

gasserguy Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 My air filter cover has the same problem. Will try your tip. 250RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strengthcoach Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Not sure if this helps but when I had mine I couldn't get it to sit flush, the back wouldn't seat properly and I fussed with it. There was a ridge that made me uneasy. Finally, I tapped it gently with a rubber mallet and it went in and stayed in. No more gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenser Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I just removed a bit of the edge of the lid with a sharp blade, it appears to be just a tad to big to easily snap into place. Never an issue since. S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
