Tasteful Modifications for Yamaha WR250r

Here I list off of most of the modifications I have done to my WR. I bought the bike with a few modifications, and did a few myself. Drop a comment if you have any questions, thanks.

Excelentes cambios, cuando uno sabe para que necesita una moto, esta tiene que ser adaptada a lo que se necesita, felicidades y que la disfrutes mucho.

Nice job! Great bikes!

[@Skoshy5115]

Thanks, one of my favorites!

[@TreeSawTTV]

Yeah!

Nice walk through. Are those the Powermadd Sentinal mirrors on your Tusk handguards? Been wanting to do something similar.

[@Skoshy5115]

These aren't power mods, just a cheep online set.

Nice build my guy, thanks for posting. Ever try any longer distance trips on it, or does it not hold up too well at highway speeds?

[@Skoshy5115]

Thanks! I haven’t done any longer trips with it yet (still getting the quirks worked out) so I can’t say. Hopefully come spring that’ll change!

Nice video and nice bike. I really wanted a new WR but for some reason Yamaha is ignoring this segment of the market. I bought a 23 Honda CRF 300 and after 3000kms of use I am selling it. Overweight, underpowered and horrible suspension.

I'm considering getting one, but do you think the engine vibrations would be hard on your hands during a 4h+ ride?

[@Skoshy5115]

I don’t find the engine vibrations to be much of an issue on longer rides. True knobby 90/10 dual sport tires annoy me with noise and vibration before the bike does.
The smooth and linear power delivery of this little motor is nicer that a Mx bike, but you pay for that in overall power and increased weight of the bike.

how do you like the Rekluse? i am putting the Radius X in my 2000 RM250 to mitigate stalls

[@Skoshy5115]

I like it a lot. I still use the clutch lever while taking coasting to a stop to downshift, shifting up through the gears, and when taking off from stopped (with the clutch adjusted properly there will be a little creep forward in gear). One of the best features of an auto clutch is loading and unloading the bike on a trailer. Feathering the clutch and stalling the bike on the ramps sucks, which is totally eliminated with this setup.

What tail-tidy kit are you using? And which front blinkers? -- Is that a Parabellum smoked windscreen? Considering one, whats your opinion? Don't want it to get damaged, or in the way on technical trail riding, but would welcome some protection for the highway.

[@Skoshy5115]

Not sure on the tidy tail, or front blinkers (done before I got the bike). I can say I have been very happy with the smoked parabellum windshield. It’s far enough forward and low enough that I don’t notice it when doing technical type stuff. It will not keep wind off my helmet, but will keep it off my chest which is primarily why I bought it (I’m 6’ fyi)
I think it makes Highway riding much more enjoyable for me.

[@harris8390]

Can you tell me where you got those black frame covers?

[@Skoshy5115]

Not sure if they are still available but I bought them on eBay.

[@manuelsalgado8510]

So this is a street bike? Not a dirt bike?

[@Skoshy5115]

It’s a bike they call a dual sport. Dual as in on road and off road.
