Just spent 4 weeks in the UK so was hanging out for a ride, went out yesterday in lovely 27c & sunshine. While we were in the UK South Australia had the worst storms for 50yrs, the 1st video is a dry weather rd that turned out to be closed, had to be careful just in case.. Huge ruts that would grab the bike...
Yet another question, I fitted a bashplate yesterday & now there is one hell of a racket, not sure it the engine noise is bouncing back up from the bashplate or it the vibs. I'm sure it's been done to death on previous post but any help how to shut it up would be great Terry

He has borrowed my WR250R and it is on display for the weekend alongside his XR just to show the sort of bikes trail riders use. If you ca...

There isn't an Australian section so here is Steve Parish's account of the trial. Steve used to ride a TTR250 until his upgrade to the WRR. Seems to be doing OK on it Brian
Hi All you WR250 owners. Having now ridden, and purchased, one I can see why the big gins on owners faces. I wanted a sit-up-and-beg bike as I always loved trailies/enduros even though I have owned a number of large sports bikes. If any of you are ever at the Super Sausage in Pottersbury (near Milton Keyn...

My 08 wr250x stalls when I am on the bike and I put it in 1st gear. Mind you, I have the clutch pulled in the entire time. Do you think is the clutch plates sticking? or bad clutch switch. thanks for any help.
Hi all when I bought my WRR it had the speedo fault, if you haven't seen this its when the speedo runs much faster than it should do due to a the battery going flat. Mine was showing 199 KPH most of the time and recored the milage way off . Not wishing to run the milage up through the roof I unplugged the speed se...

Hi everyone I have been a TTR owner for a few years now and a great fan of the bike, so much so that I am buying Totally TTRs along with Totally WRs from Brian (with his blessing).

Hello to all avid greenlaners, Having been a member of the TRF for a good year or so, i have found trying to gain GPX map files of track loops through different counties, like trying to get blood from a stone . I know East Sussex very well, but would love to collect up a few more different counties such as W...
So far I have noticed that the URL to the front page photo has broken and I will fix it as soon as I recall how to do it! If anyone spots any other peculiarities relating to my WR web pages please let me know! Brian PS I really shouldn't mess with things I don't understand!
Hello all Just come back from a TRF trip to Yorkshire. Went up with a CRF250X and came back with a WR250R. Wanted one for sometime. Bought up trail riding on TTR's and just love the smoothness and feel of the Yamaha's in general. The Honda is lighter and more powerful but just not so gentle as the WR. The oth...

Forgive me father for I have sinned, I have owned my 2008 WR250R for about two months and this weekend was the first time that I took it out. The reasons were many fold, it needed a few jobs done, then a second bike came in that needed work and the family always need me the list goes on. However at the end of the...
