Bought a Ricochet Bash Plate, excellent fit a 2 second job. Heavy gauge aluminium plate, has taken some big rocks without issue, hardly a mark on the thing Only ciricism is that it could go higher to protect the water pump hose, but will get some spiral guard to sort that. Money well spent in my view

G'day all, I've had my WRR for a month now, a 2008 white with the black powder coated frame. It had a bush life with the previous owner and now I'm using it as a commuter to get around town. It's got a Staintune (local auss stainless exhaust mob) exhaust, B&B bash plate, bark busters. I've disconnecte...

Hello again, does anyone know where I can get spoke for my rear wheel for my wr250r? i only realised today that I have one missing, god knows how long it's been missing for? thanks in advance dayne

Hi, can anyone tell me what size spark plug spanner I need for my wr250r, i think I need to add one to my tool kit for taking on the strata Florida just in case I decide to have a little lie down in the water. cheers dayne

As the title says really, just a few things I've destroyed on the trails. Get in touch if you have any you'd like to sell. Cheers dayne

Tyres..... Pirelli MT21 front and rear for road and light/dry trail use...25 psi with no rim locks. Mich AC10's ,13psi with rim locks front and rear. I use these more in the winter when trailering to the rides.

As the title suggests, me and a couple of mates go out most weekends and have a good laugh trail riding. Can't recommend the wr250r enough, keeps up and does everything the ktm's do (350exc) (250exc) and the yamaha wr450. I've gave it a lot of abuse but it keeps coming back for more. Hope you enjoy. http:/...

Hello again, Its not actually broke yet but I've caught my rear brake lever on a rock and bent it right out, I've bent it back in but I'm worried it may brake at some point, my question is does any one know where I can buy one? Also the plastics that go around the tank are looking very sorry now and I'd like to re...

Just picked one up and I have a couple of questions. How do you secure your bike when you leave it as mine has no keyed ignition just a switch? Have you had any bother insuring, seem to have an issue as I have a Carole Nash six wheel policy, I am waiting for them to get back to me. Are there any must have bolt ons /...

Interesting video if you've got 5 minutes to kill. http://www.dragtimes.com/video-viewer.php?v=ApMZXqFsEsE&feature

Went out for a little ride out for fish and chips seen as it was a nice day, when I came back to the bike I went to start it, it fired then died then would not restart. The fuel pump was not buzzing like it should on it's prime cycle. My first thoughts were 2008 , early wrx, - fuel pump. Anyway I thought I had best n...

I like these bars (used to be known as Dakar Highs) and have a new pair that I would like to fit but, before I do, does anyone know if the standard cables are long enough? Brian

Have looked for one of these for a while, anyone know if one is made for the WR?

Hi, does the o-ring need to be replaced when changing the oil filter?

A bit tatty and still wearing Olly's seat and side panels.

Should be a 5 minute job eh? Not with me it seems I can't get the pads to sit in properly. They don't seem to like the top s/s retaining or spring clip. I am pretty sure that I am replacing it the right way up but I think that I have now bent one of the spring clips on it - the one indicate with the green arrow. Even...

I am looking for an easy win here so that I can get my GPS mounted and running on the WRR. Where is the simplest and closest point to the bars in the wiring to get a constant live feed please? Brian

Bike now sold so I have two FMF Exhausts for sale- 1) Powerbomb stainless front pipe and a Powercore 4 rear section in stainless/alloy. Both parts are totally unmarked except for the normal heat marks on the front section. You will need to unplug the O2 sensor and remove the exup cables as they don't fit...

Hi, Does anyone know what oil we should be using? I have the technical spec for it, but can't see whether that should be semi synthetic or fully synthetic. I have a fair bit of quality 10W/40 semi synthetic that I would use if it's suitable. Anyone know?

Hi all, my speedometer wasnt working this morning on my wr250r and after riding all day all of a sudden the orange engine light came on but the bike seemed to be running as usual. any ideas what the problem could be or how to fix it? many thanks dayne

See here And the winner was....................................

Part number 3D7-26302-00-00 I bought this to use as a pattern for the longer Venhill cables and it is no longer needed so it's for sale at £27 inc UK p&p. They are a tad over £31 retail in the UK plus p&p so it is a reasonable price. A very useful spare to have if you use standard bars. PM me if interes...

Hi, I want a mt43 tyre 18" for my wr250r but Im not really sure what i need to buy, are there tubed versions of the tyre? I only see the tubeless versions and wondered if I had to invest in the tubliss system? One last question, wheres the best place to buy from? Hope someone can help. cheers dayne

Hi all, I have a 2008 WR250R and had to replace the radiator and fan, supplied at a very good price from WR250Rfan. I'm now ready to fit the new parts and wondered if anyone had any suggestions as what coolant is best to use. I've also ordered a radiator guard from Flatland Racing in the States and will p...

Hi all, Does anyone know where I can get new screws for the front brake reservoir? The reservoir has been leaking since I had an off on some sleepers at a track crossing, they can be really slick! Its leaking either through the screw or from the cap Mon the reservoir. I tried to undo it but the previous owne...

Hi, I'm pretty new to trail riding and I'm in the process of learning and making my own wye valley ride out starting here in Coleford Gloucestershire. I ride a wr250r and know a few others with various other rides, if anyone is nearby and fancies a ride out let me know, I too would like to join like minded pe...

Around a ten days road trip. I was originally going to buy a cheap ish cbr600f for the trip but by the time I h...
