My WR250R Build.

Coop: Yeah the thing is pretty damn loud!! But it gives me the best performance, so that is what I was looking for.

Motokid: The bike has 13000km so it hasn't done too bad considering the chain condition and running a 12T front sprocket for so long. I knew it was bound to happen and checked it regularly for a period after fitting the 12T front, but got lazy after a while and forgot about it. So yeah, caught it just in time for sure.

I am now running 13/47 with a DID 520VT2 chain.

G'day mate. Yeah, it's my property, about 45 acres worth. I have just finished making the track and I ride the track every single day. I feel a bit strange if I have to miss a day of riding it....

You are quite the lucky man to have a setup like that in your own backyard!

Good call on the height of your skid plate. I had a branch knock out the solid tube between the flex hoses on my WR - got it fixed with no issue and the tube wasn't even dented.....kind of makes me wonder if one of the clamps was missing from the stealership.......

Looks great in black!

Is there a place to order Yamaha parts online from OZ?

you can email me... happy to post stuff

where was that motor cross park you went too?

Been a long time since I have updated here, so here goes with all the stuff over the last few months:

Started the big changes with going all white plastics:



KTM front guard:





Some gold rim tape for a bit of bling:



Some new folding levers, much shorter, really quite good:





Lack of adjustment on the brake master cyclinder though:



New front guard fitted:





New levers:





Low guard.........nah:





Setup of the new tail with foam tape where factory put it:



All new white plastics (Except headlight, not needed for future fairing)












So then continued on with my rally bash plate making:









Fitted a rear rim lock as, due to lack of care and attention, let the rear go so flat I ripped the valve stem!!



Took a bit of balancing!!





Heading off for an overnighter:



New front braided brake line and new brake fluid front and rear:







Bash plate all welded up (THANKS DRJOE!!!!!!) My welder is not set up for alloy unfortunately!





Making the lids:







Fitted:









Beginning to sand and polish everything:



Latches for bash plate mounting:



Cleaning down all welds:



Inside:



Sealed with silicone just in case:





My buffing setup, cheap, but very very effective!!















ITS A MONSTER!!!!!













Nope, that is going to rattle around WAY too much!!



Winner:



Now onto the bloody pesty leaking fork seals!!















This was such and easy and enjoyable job, I would NEVER pay anyone to do it ever!!

So it was now time to get onto the serious job of doing a full fairing and nav tower, not a minor job to undertake by any means!

Sourced some decent headlights:



Fit like a bloody charm! Also some indicators fitted too:



Cad drawings........computer modelling......CNC machines..... Nope!!! Some old steel, set square, tape measure and pencil and paper mate!! It's the Aussie way!!



Head gear all removed:



Removing the ignition barrel:









Now for Nav tower mounting:





Yup, real mans stuff!!












The scariest part of the whole job!!! PLEASE BE IN THE RIGHT SPOT!!!













Bugger, not enough length on the outward prongs, start again!!



Sealing up to make sure no dust or water works its way into the headstem:











Thought I should replace the plug while I had the bike apart too, lucky I did check it!!



So now with the Nav tower mount on, the bike can go back together:



Started making the side fairing mounts:























Got a suitable sticker made up for the bash plate:











Quite easily fit this in just one side of the bash plate:




Ok, so it was now onto the Nav Tower plates:











Light mounting:









Getting there!!

















Front mountings for the fairing:









Trimming the fairing to suit the lines of the bike/fuel tank:















Relocating the OEM instrument panel:









GPS mount/Roadbook mount:









Wiring and heated grip switch mounting:



12V outlet mounting:





Painting fairing:














So, the fairing is mounted from four simple screw head bolts, so it is easy to take on and off. I own a van, so it has to come off each time for transport.

It's maiden voyage!









Then it was time for a bit of stickering up to make it look the part:











Then it was off for 3000+ kilometres to test it all out. Performed flawlessley. Man I LOVE this bike!!!!

"Here is the resistor I used, because I had already run the bike without the EXUP plugged in, it had thrown the code and had the light on so I had to plug the EXUP back in, then disconnect and put the resistor in place, No more light!!"


Hi, guys! Recently I changed my stoсk pipe for LeoVince X3. That on the dashboard check engine lamp didn't burn, I installed the same resistor, in the same sockets, as shown in your photo. I used the resistor of 7,5 k/Om, capacity of 0,25 wt. But at me as before, the orange control lamp burns. I disconnected the minus ( - ) plug from the accumulator, but it didn't help me.

Help, what it is necessary to make? Perhaps, it is necessary to enter into the diag mode and somehow to erase this error No. 17 from memory?

Dude, I think your ready for an IED with that bash plate!

Very impressive.

You sir are a maniac!! What an awesome thread!

What was the fairing originally off of?
