Yamaha WR250R and WR250X Forum

I’m based in the UK and have recently purchased a Yamaha WR250X which I’m converting to a WR250R. I’m wanting to get some advise on upgrading the stock suspension especially the rear shock as it’s just not quite there for me. I’m planning on doing mostly ADV but with some off road fun too. I’m 6ft weig...

Morning all! Just thought I'd introduce myself, being new to these parts. I ride a 2010 WR250R, which I'm making into a mini adventure bike for on/off road travels, plus the odd green lane when I'm at home. I also have an F650GS Dakar for longer travels, although being fairly new to bikes, I haven't rid...

I am under pressure to clear some room on my shelves so have reluctantly agreed to sell my collection of Trail Bike & Enduro Magazine (TBM) / Dirt Junkies mags. The May and October 2009 mags feature the WR250R. In fact the October mag asks if the WR250R is the best trailie ever ; But we knew that alread...

Hi, I'm from Dublin, living in Northern Ireland, just outside Belfast. I currently ride a '16 R1200GS LC and '12 Speed Triple R, I'm planning to sell my Speed Triple R and get a WR250R to start trail riding. My goal is to start doing some off road navigation rallies next year. I'm also planning to move t...

Hello, I am 48 years old and I am from Greece and live in the city of Galatsi, which is very close to Athens. A lot of motorcycles have passed since my hands, but in May 2017 I bought a brand new 2014 WR250R that was forgotten in the Yamaha warehouses here in Athens. At the moment it's the only bike I have and I m...

Anyone out there know where to possibly find a match for the WRR black frame for touching in a few spots? Much thanks as always, Paul

Hello to one and all, Long time no see, but with a year packed full of riding trips taking me out to places like Cambodia and Andalucia to mention a few, i just couldn't seem to find the time to chime in now and then. A very happy new year to you all. Still an avid WRR enthusiast, in fact maybe a little too much s...

Hi, All I'm back with another starting issue. When I hit the starter button the motor spins over but doesn't engage every so often it catches but fails to start as it dis engages just before. Do you think its the one way bearing that has failed ?

Well it's the Flinders Ranges in the North of South Australia. we go up there every year & ride gorges, farm tracks & dry weather roads. Slide show of various photos, it's a great spot & worth the 500kms up & back. As my TTR is for sale the next trip will be on the WRR This is a little differ...

Hi Anyone else out there suffering from trouble starting, after their bike has spent the day standing in UK sunshine? 2008 R that has 8k miles on clock, used for occasional commute to work (East London), that has refused to start at end of day during recent heatwaves (May and June)! First time called RA...

Hi I need a cylinder head gasket. Does anybody have one lying around I could buy, or know of a company who might have stock. All the usual suppliers out of stock and long delivery times. Many Thanks Phil

Pair of WR 250r Wheels + spacers, disks, sprocket. Used for eight days of riding, great condition. £450 including postage or a little cheaper if picked up. (which I would prefer) Wheels can be viewed in Washington Tyne and Wear or Consett Co Durham Thanks Phil -- Edited by philmedomsley on Monday 11th...

Taken a bit of a hit on the front end which has left me with a flat spot on my front rim. I can live with it on the lanes, but it rides like a rocking horse on the road. I don’t want to miss the summer riding while it’s sorted , plus a spare set would be very handy, so, on the wild off chance that someone may have a 21...

Long shot but if anyone has a set they dont need..... Thanks Lloyd.

Hey I bought a new fmf exhaust system and as you probably know the European version of the wr has a O2 sensor. So I am going to tune the bike on the dyno but I dont know what to do with the O2 sensor. Do I drill a hole to the FMF or do I put an emulator on the sensor or any other idea?

wanted front forks please as I have a small mark on my n/s leg

Had a lot of bikes through the years. Right now a ktm 1290 sdr and my new purchase .... a yam wr250r 2016 Really happy with my new bikes.....but I do not like to having to buy aftermarket parts from the US. Any good stores in Europe? Links to internetshops would be greatly appreciated :)

Hi all you may remember some time ago that I had an issue with my cam chain jumping, well as I was moving house it did it again so I bit the bullet and tock the bike to my local bike shop. I managed to find a manual cam chain tentioner and gave it to them to fit . I dropped in yesterday and was told that they had a few...

Well it's been fun skating around on "the death wings". However that being said, 2000 miles on, I'm a little tired of having to dig myself out of muddy holes and predicaments. Despite this being summer, i managed to get myself stuck for a good 30 minutes at the weekend . Another broken indica...

Had a bad vib on the ride yesterday, the hugger had signs of the chain hitting it, picked up a new chain this morning & removed the old one only to find the chain slider badly worn on the underside. Front sprocket is worn but not a big deal, did a search & it looks like I can only find the OEM slider, ha...
