Anyone know where I can get some bike specific tank graphics for my 250r? The original ones are useless and have been jet washed off. Someone told me that's because of the strange plastic that Yamaha use. Any help please?
Hi all I want to change my spark plug can anyone tell me what the tourqe settings are for putting them back in as I'm struggling to find correct settings and don't want my tank falling off cheers martin
I think I may have mentioned Devon TRF Group's annual Axe-to-Exe (A2E) trail riding weekend before but, anyways up, it happened over the weekend. I was volunteered to lead a group and my brother Trev to be my help. A surprise visit from my son Matt resulted in a rapid bike build and he ended up riding my WR...
Ok its not my bike (M nI want to tidy it up first ) but I found this mouse nest in my leg armour last night. I think its a sign I need to get out and ride more often .
Hi All well where do I start ok what have I owned before DR125,DT125,DR125,DR400s,XR250,SV650, Husquvarna Te610, KDX220,EXC450,WR426, WR450 and the new ride a 2008 WR250r. Its going to be interesting to see how she feels after selling my WR450 to pay for a divorce ( odd she sleeps around and I pay for...
So with a sunny day on the cards and last weeks trails still fresh in my mind, work took a back seat for the day. After reaching the first lane and then realising that i was out of jungle juice, i quickly doubled back to a garage not to far away before the fun could begin. Thankfully i noticed before i got to co...
The plan for the day was to ride the whole of my A2E route but, it didn't quite work out... The forecast was for sunny intervals and showers and that's exactly what we had but, fortunately, no heavy showers. Just Trev and I today. Late start - had to do a few minor repairs so didn't get away until 11am and a 12...
A massive thank you to SteveT for organising this ride out which for me was my first ride out and I'm still smiling (and my arms are still aching). Grassroots was there as well and we had a great days riding and fantastic company (thank you to Martin KTM and Trevor Honda). I was really impressed with the Ga...
Devon TRF Group is hosting its annual trail riding event (the Axe to Exe) in a couple of weekend's time and I am likely to be called upon to guide a group of visitors along with my brother Trev who will be my TEC (Tail End Charlie). Trev hasn't been out on the lanes since our trail riding trip to France last Ju...
I know this is totally opposite to what most owners do to their WRRs but I love how civilised the bike is and would like to get mine fully back to standard. When I bought it, it had an FMF exhaust on it and most of the emissions kit removed as far as I can tell. It spluttered a bit from cold plus the exhaust was to...
See here The article suggest that the recall only affects American models. Anyone know if the UK model is unaffected for sure? Brian PS I have emailed Yamaha UK customer services to ask the question!
Hi all I have recently fitted 13t front and 48t rear sprockets to me wr250r I'm pretty happy with results but was wondering what difference a 14t front sprocket would make ie is it a lot slower acceleration/top end ect any advice would be welcome cheers martin
Hi All, Picked up my WR 2 weeks ago and jetted of to Mexico the next day, just got back today and went down to the garage to bring a smile to my face, as you can tell from my username the bike is a 2008 import from the USA With a silver frame. Some of you may have seen it a couple of weeks ago on eBay. I will post a few p...

Both in good condition with part worn tyres - Bridgestone Battlax BT090F 110/70 R17 front and 140/70 R17 rear. Front wheel has smaller brake disc fitted for standard R brake caliper setti...
I have been following the other post where importing used WRs has been mentioned. I would like to buy a new Wr 250r. Has anybody imported a new one? Do they sell them in Europe? Is it possible? Any thoughts opinions would be appreciated.
Well this is probably to be my most exciting and biggest mod yet. Feeling a little guilty that i should have posted it a couple of months ago, but it's been an incredibly busy and wild summer/ autumn. The time had to come...Go Race Suspension by Travis Jones- Christiansburg VA. Straight out the box, the...
Hi all hopefully going to be fitting the speedo healer Thursday when I can try running the wr250r on a dry road fingers crossed. Do you have to do a factory reset? Or can I just do the quick set up of -16.7% to alter speedo thanks martin
Hi all I have ordered the drd speedo healer from Brian for my wr250r with 48t rear and 13t front with the bridgestone trailing rear tyre.I don't have a GPS what is the ideal number to programme in I have looked on the forum and so far I have seen -16.7 -15.5 and -20.5 which is the best figure to dial in to get it...
