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

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...

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 (...

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...
Hi all hope everyone's well I want to respray my exhaust this winter and was looking on eBay for new exhaust gasket but there seems to be 2 types the round copper crush gasket and the solid metal Athena one does anyone know which is the best one to use for cylinder head gasket seal cheers martin
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?
