Yamaha WR250R and WR250X Forum

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 (...

If you have altered your gearing from standard then it is likely your speedo readings are now inaccurate. I changed to 13/48 sprockets and my speedo was reading 60mph compared to the "true" GPS reading of 50mph i.e well out! I have the 12oclockLabs SpeedoDRDs in stock so grabbed one and fit...

Can anyone tell me what width rim locks I need front and rear for my standard rims? The manual states rim width 1.6 front and 2.15 rear. Is that the size of rim lock I should buy?

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...

Just a stock so far WRR, seem good so far Cheers Terry

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

Hi All you WR250 owners. Having now ridden, and purchased, one I can see why the big gins on owners faces.

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.
