Guys two types of lowering links, the lever type & the arm style One type ( arm link ) does 1" & the lever style does 45mm which style is better ? I have thought of reducing the shock travel (spacer to reduce rebound length ) Any thoughts on the above Rds Terry
hi all I'm toying with the idea of a 14t front sprocket for the wr I currently have a 13/48 set up but find it a bit buzzy above about 50/55 would a 14t help with this as I would like it to cruise about 60 ideally also how much acceleration do you lose and how much top end increase will I get approx. I know you can u...
I said goodbye to my WR250R yesterday when my son Matt loaded it up on his car and set off for the Plymouth-Santander ferry! He is looking forward to exploring his local area (San Miguel de Salinas in the southern Costa Blanca) on it and I am looking forward to visiting and going out on it myself once Matt h...
Hi all, I am looking at this wr250x. It has the black plastics of an X, and a black frame. It has the R front wheel, and maybe the rear wheel too- I know this is a common swap. However, I noticed the forks are silver like an R, and the fork guards are white like the R. So, it seems to be like rather than just swap th...
Started this thread for my wr250r photos and videos. Yesterday finished Rotopax project. DIY plate with ROTOPAX mount ROTOPAX on it Also have a plan to mount Wolfman Peak tail bag, but need to lengthen straps -- Edited by tomasn on Wednesday 25th of January 2017 06:46:00 AM
Probably something we should all do but sometimes forget or over look...well that was me any way . I cannot stress enough how worth while 20 mins of effort it has been. Using a cable oiler tool for a fiver off of flea bay, i did both the clutch and throttle cables easily and more effectively than i've ever m...
Here in Australia it can be a long way between fuel stations & wondering about larger fuel tanks, sounds like in some cases they fit one tank to another but I don't understand what goes !!! I used a 14.5lt Clarke tank on my XR400 & that was perfect, not too big but giving me a good range, I've seen 11...
Hello to one and all, This has got to be my least favourite section of our fantastic little forum . Okay, so i was about half an hour out into todays intended day of muddy adventures, when there was an almighty bang, the engine died and i rolled to a stop. Oh s**t, i really thought i had just blown the engine...
Hi all I have now moved the issue to the the broke section . I have a 08 that will not start she was running fine then nothing . She spins over fine the spark is ok a little orange but with a brand new plug , there is a smell of petrol at the exhaust so that is going in to the engine any ideas ? i have taken all the lig...
Simple problem, I fitted a short brake lever, all good apart from the brake light on all the time, the lever does not contact the switch fully, is the switch adjustable because if it screwed in half a turn it would work other than that I would have to add to the lever or fit different levers Cheers Terry
bought my 250r back in 2009 , been standard till now , didn't ride it for 2 years was left in garage , got it out again couple of months ago and fell back in love with it again , have decided to mod it , got a Q4 and power bomb , ditched the AIS , fitted tail tidy , changed to a 13/45 gearing , just waiting on renthal b...
Okay, so short story is that having slung her down at speed, quite hard on rocks, i bent my wide, 5mm lower, custom made pegs. Would have been fine in mud as they really are very strong, but rocks it was . The peg actually bent back enough to strike the foot brake lever taking out a tiny chink (can be seen in th...
Hi. I'm from Lithuania. I'm 38 years old. Bought WR250R 2009 MY with 12.000 km on clock. Now its my only one motorcycle after many others MX and adventure bikes. Will try to cover all my needs with WR. In winter time is good to add some extras. Now it has Leovince slip on, KTM handguards, plastic bash plate...

happy new year all , I was looking forward to my first ride yesterday only to find the WRR would not start she would spin over slowly and the fuel pump runs but she would not start. I charged the battery over night but still no joy today the lights dim down when the starter spins .
The bike has sold but Julian didnt want the 21 inch front wheel so...21 inch front wheel to which I fitted the EBC brake disk needed to fit the X caliper, so you can change the wheel easily without changing calipers. The wheel does not have a tyre fitted.£200 OVNO to include carriage in UK.Lloyd.
Well not much on here so I'll add a couple of videos from yesterday, my WR is still on standard dual sport tyres which is bloody hard work on the soft sand, or it could just be the skill level [video=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quZ6DD...
My WR250R has had the orange warning light showing since I bought it but it ran perfectly well so I tried to ignore it. However, it has bugged me over the years and I have gradually replaced all the emissions kit to try and clear the fault. I at last got around to learn how to use the on-board diagnostics (...
Video on using the WRR as an adventure bike, well worth a look if you have not watched as yet Part 1 & 2 Enjoy -- Edited by TerryK on Monday 12th of December 2016 01:...
