Yamaha WR250R and WR250X Forum

Hi, I just have bought a 2008 WR250R, 2500 km in perfect condition. i usually ride a 600xlr Honda(1983) or a 600LC4 KTM(1991) in soft enduro way, but they become to be "vintage" bikes and more for collection. I was looking for a recent and lighter bike, efficient enough to ride everywhere wi...

This is a fantastic mod that i've been meaning to post up for some time now, just been so busy out riding in my free time to have a moment. It's cheap easy and a huge improvement imho. Many of you may find that you get somewhat of an ache in your wrist when constantly cranking out full throttle, particularl...

Hi one and all, Caused another little mishap ...doh. I was rerouting my clutch cable as it was rubbing a little and i could see a better path, when i accidently pushed out the clutch switch. I heard a ping and something fly across the room. Goodness knows if it was a lug, a clip or something snap off maybe ev...

Anyone have any recommendations on installing a new Battery Tender USB charger setup?

Always with the damn number plate and indicators ..... ...It's started to become the sign of a truly good days riding. Really not sure how it happened this time. One minute it was all there, the next it was gone . The number plate really was totaled and i wonder if i could have potentially bottomed out on...

Looking to replace the Bridgestone BT's tyre on my 17" wheels for my commute to work over winter with Avon Distanzia AM43/44 as they get good reviews on WR sites in States. Common sizes seem to be AM43 120/70 R17 for front and AM44 150/60 R17 for rear - which is a little larger than current 110/70 &am...

Can only find them on sale in the States. Do any footpegs from other bikes fit and, if so, which ones please? Brian

No more carrying stupid items in a rucksack risking a back injury.... ....Long over due. This is the slim rack and is $125 from Jarad in the U.S.... http://www.scaggsmotodesigns.com/wr250r---x.html It was very quick and easy to install as the fender is actually already...

Anyone got Wolfman pannier racks they want rid of? Thanks Lloyd.

Just seeing I can load images ok?

A great product from DRIVEN USA. Driven Folding Shift Levers allow you to replace those heavy standard OEM shift levers with a light weight, durable, folding tip shifter that looks as good as it functions. A super strong spring in the tip of the shifter insures fast spring back when the s...

Seem to have spent more time spannering on the bike than riding recently. All linkages replaced, new front springs, revalve, rear spring and revalve all set up for my weight. New handlebars. After a second breakdown this year tackled the badly routed flimsy kill switch wiring and replaced with mor...

Hi - had WR for couple of years now since graduating from TTR, had few mods done by mate (Micky). Mostly commute to East London on set of X wheels then swop to R's for green lanes or IoM.

I happened to just notice that the most users ever online at once record finally got broken yesterday . A little smile amongst the doom and gloom of the recent stator recall issue. Great to see some more E.U WRR/X support, even if it is to check in to see if their bike is stator happy... .

OK – so Totally WRs is moving into the 21st century with an eShop. Go here to check it out.With our existing web catalogue, it is time consuming to add a new product. Convoluted doesn't even come close as a description. I have lots of ideas for new items to add such as front mudguards, etc., etc., but am p...

Original Yamaha WR250R front disc - used. Very little use. Huge saving over new parts! Complete with cush rubber (shown below) and disc bolts. £40 plus p&p See here

In great condition. I bought it with a view to using it to convert a WR250X to WR250R specification but that project never happened. Good insurance in case of a ding in your front wheel which might give an MOT failure. £110 plus carriage Advertised in the eShop - see here Brian

I finally got round to remembering to photograph some of the recent new installations. I'd been out enjoying it all so much that i seemed to always forget . The main direction was to be gaining some height upon the bars to help out my 6' 1" standing position. In the process of doing so, to also gain a...

With summer almost here it was time for a freshen up

Just heard from Karl at DD Graphics that he is now doing graphic kits for Yamaha WR125R/X and Honda CRF250L & M models. Worth a look if you have one of these in the garage Brian

Well it's been a great week of hard work and i was close to being able to post a few new pictures to show the fruits of my labour, but have stummbled at the last hurdle New longer clutch and throttle cables are in and seem close to perfect (a lot easier than expected to do...thank you dearly for your guidanc...

A good mate of mine is not well at the moment and asked me to do some work on his WRR so I picked it up this afternoon. The work involves fitting new chain and sprockets, tightening a couple of loose spokes, stripping and checking/re-greasing the linkage bearings, straightening the sump guard which is n...

Whilest i have the wiring removed for lengthening (bars are being raised), i thought i'd chop in a push on/ push off kill switch for the head light, but which wire to put the switch in line with? I really am guessing here, but would have assumed the middle plug in the photo that came from the back of the head...

In the midst of raising my bars, i have a quick question.... Can i rotate the front brake line banjo up from the horizontal position that it is currently sat in (see photos below), to maybe a 45 degree angle or more? I'd like to tilt my brake lever down another 10mm or so, but as you can see the br...
