Can a Yamaha tt350 motorcycle overheat at idle?
If you compression is good and your motor is overheating at idle — a TT350 should never overheat at idle unless you’re in the Sahara — then you are running lean and/or have tight exhaust valves. I would have advised against drilling your jets.
How much does a Yamaha tt350 bike weigh?
The US had an 86 and an 87 model TT350. The TT has 11″ of travel front and rear. The 2 main issues with the TT & XT 350’s are cracked secondary carburetor diaphrams and cracked intake manifolds. My dual sported TT weighs 280lbs ready to ride, it weighed 268lbs in stock form ready to ride.
Is the Yamaha tt350 a Honda XR400?
They are very similar to Honda XR400’s in both size, durability, and longevity. As long as you keep them in good condition they will run forever and never let you down. A single cylinder air cooled bike is in my opinion the ultimate all around off road machine. What interests me about these bikes is their use of dual carburetors.
Is the Yamaha 350 single a good bike?
The Yamaha 350 singles are virtually indestructible little engines. I would recommend an aftermarket shock (wilbers) and modern forks for an unbelieveable easy to ride woods bike. And don’t use SBS brake pads on it. If so, when will it be ready for me to ride?
What kind of engine did a Yamaha tt350 have?
The 1986-’87 TT350 was powered by a 346cc air-cooled single with dual overhead cams and four valves. It was fed by a siamesed pair of Teikei Kikaki carburetors, one operated by the throttle cable, the other by vacuum. This engine wasn’t tuned to rev, but a six-speed gearbox ensured that a high-enough-for-the-dirt top speed was on tap.

What kind of bike is the YZ tt350?
Unlike its streetgoing stablemate, the XT350, the TT350 used a full frame (that looked to have been lifted from the YZ motocross bike lineup) made of thin-wall, high-tensile steel. The boxed rear swingarm was made out of aluminum, as were the rims, to save weight, but the bike still tipped the scales at a hefty 253 pounds.
