Parabellum LTD. has continued the Rally Shield line by fitting up the 2008-present Yamaha XT250. This is an upright Dakar Rally inspired shield designed to protect the rider without interfering with off-road riding. For on-road riding the Rally shield protects the rider’s chest from fatiguing air blasts while keeping the head in clean air. Duck behind it in the cold or the rain to keep from experiencing the brunt of the elements. During off-road riding the Rally windshield protects the rider from any amount of mud, dust, roots, rocks, or branches without becoming invasive. Whether standing on the pegs or ducking behind it, you will be impressed at the protection it offers.
YOU MUST SPECIFY MODEL WHEN ORDERING. Get it right folks and be happy!

Great install video, I'm going to install mine tonight. 2023 XT250. Thank you.
How did it go?
Very good, no problems,thank you!
Well guess what.... I dumped my bike SEVERAL times last weekend and I busted the shield. Check this video out: ruclips.net/user/shortsEgBp0YQCDHo
Thank you for showing us how to do that. Looks really good.
My pleasure my friend. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thanks for the video!
You bet!
Great vid. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Good job
Thanks brother.
Nice instructions, Commando - just ordered the same for my '22 XT
Thanks! You will like it I'm sure. It will cut the wind without a lot of drag.
Let me know how it works
Just installed the same windshield on my 2023 XT250. Your direction’s really helped-thank you!
Fantastic. Glad I could help. You will notice improved riding
me too and somehow the windshield slipped while installing and scratched off part of the yamaha sticker and scuffed the plastic, i feel like a dumbass 😂
you know, some of the Yamaha logo rubbed off on mine too. But you know what, I don't care because I ride that bad boy like I stole it. I'm have so much fun, I could care less. I don't have a garage queen, I have a road hoe! LOL
@@CameraCommando yah same i don’t care anymore but i hard a hard time getting the last bolt to screw on so that was just the last straw lmao
Add to shopping list:
Silver Sharpie
Small Spring Clamps
Metric Allen Wrenches
. . .
Excellent. I also recommend that if you do buy Allen wrenches that you get the type which are "loose" and not in any kind of fold out configuration. Why? Well the one I had came in the form of a plastic handle and over time it degraded and under twisting pressure turned the plastic into crumbs. So, the lesson is, use the loose ones and be a happy camper!
Need to take it for a ride & review, & price & where to buy.
Thanks for your help 👍

Dean, there are a couple of videos on my page here. They include links, price, etc in the description. Cheers
Are you planning on doing a roadtest review for the shield?
yes. will do soon!
Hello! Thanks for the video! The Yamaha XT250 is the very bike I have been looking into. I am taking a Basic Rider Course in Tucson AZ this weekend for review as I haven't ridden for many years though I have my Motorcycle Endorsement. I am a short man 5'4", 180 lbs, and chose this bike as it has a low seat height. Looks like you are a Veteran. I am a Marine Vet '74-'78. I am curious about the new Parabellum windshield if it sends the windblast over your head. I saw this windshield on another channel and see the one that National Cycle sells that has rods that go to the handlebars. But, I need room on the handlebars for the other accessories I would like to get. I ordered a gear shift selector indicator and am looking into a 2-USB plug unit and, if possible, a fuel gauge, as well as rear and sike racks for soft panniers. I am curious if your new windshield is tall enough. Would you let me know? I was, also, looking into the JNS LED Headlight Kit but saw that a company called Cyclops has a kit with a bulb change. Reducing the power wattage of the light, I think, will allow me power for the new gauges. Sorry for the long message. Thanks, again, for the excellent videos.
You will love this bike off road. If you need to go on the highway, you might get max 80-85 mph with some vibration if you are on those bumpy backroads. Be cautious on gravel. In Arizona be careful...Always let someone know where you are going, take water and a fully charged cell phone (maybe a battery backup too), take a map. If you dismount to take a leak, watch out for snakes.
@@CameraCommando Hello! Thanks for your message. I had it boiled down to the Yamaha XT250 and the Kawasaki Versys X-300. Many things that I was going to have to get for the X250, like a fuel gauge, gear shift indicator, and windshield came standard on the Versys X-300. Plus, I didn't have to get a Rotopax because the tank holds 4.5 Gallons. I have 2500 miles on it and it's in the shop right now for a flat tire. My only issue is the dealership. I had it towed 2 1/2 weeks ago but said they couldn't do anything until today, 3-12-2021. I didn't think that was good service. And I bought an extended warranty and maintenance plan at the dealership.
Be careful on those trails. I can't remember the name of them, but the desert has some crazy thorns that will puncture your tires. Maybe get some of those protective inserts / liners for your tires. Might affect performance, but its better than walking!
The seating position is so comfortable for me, way more than my MT03 2017 no reaching for the handlebars.
Did you figure out where that black spacer part went after first taking the headlight cover off? I just ordered one of these screens for my XT. Are you happy with the screen thus far? Tnx for sharing
Good question, the answer is no. never figured out where it came from. No issues though.
@@CameraCommando Funny. I was waiting for one to pop out when I installed mine, but nothing ever did. Must have been just a random object.
Probably!
What are your thoughts on how it performs on the bike?
Cuts the air nicely. I really like it and lots of people stare at me at traffic lights trying to figure out what I'm riding.
Hi , I’m 6 ft tall installed the parabellum windshield on my XT 250 , I find it’s great at keeping the wind off my chest but I find it to deflect the wind hard to my face. Was wondering how it is for you ? Thanks for any info.
I'm shorter than you and I have a visor on my helmet. At speeds less than say 65 its no big deal. A few times I've been on the highway at speeds between 70 and 85 mph and generally I lean a bit forward to be more aerodynamic. The only time I get windy is behind an 18-wheeler. Its like I'm in the turbulent air rolling over the top and down behind the vehicle. The movement in my helmet is like as if I was shaking my head fast saying "no" really fast. LOL. I like the shield though. I get lots of compliments by people who think my bike is some kind of amazing enduro rig. Keeps the bugs off too, although today some kind of beetle flew into my shirt through my jacket and was freaking biting me. I thought it was a bee stinging me.
@@CameraCommando well thanks so much for your input and after have a few bees fly into the sides of my helmet I bought a 3/4 with visor maybe I just have to get used to that as well as my wind deflector. Ride safe bud.
You too bro
Hello, where i can buy the windshield, you have the link?
Mr. Medina, you can find it here: parabellum.com/
Any updates as to how effective it is?
It works awesome. I can hit 85 MPH at full throttle, and I'm a hefty boy.
I just posted a new video where you can see the shield during a ride. Nice and clear. Check out the GoPros Video.
As of October 2023- Works fantastic. No issues.
If I owned the company that made these windshields, they wouldn't even get past the drawing board. The designer who came up with the idea of drilling holes in your plastics to install a windshield must have holes in his or her heads. There are many different ways to mount a windshield on a motorcycle that doesn't involve destruction.
You have some very valid points. I did evaluate those considerations before I mounted mine. In my case, I got this bike to have fun. I don't think I'll ever sell it because my intent is to use the heck out of it, and it most likely will get trashed in the process. So a few holes in things don't bother me and I kind of enjoy doing mods to things to make them my own. However, I totally can see if a person was being more mindful of taking care of a bike's original parts and whatnot that they might not want to do this. So you are totally right on that. I appreciate you taking the time to comment on my channel, sorry it took a while to follow up with you. Cheers bro.
I don’t disagree with you. I’d love to see other options. Please show us if you have any recommended video links. Thanks!
what’s a better way of doing it smartass? there’s no bolt holes that would work
