What Did You Do To Your WR Today??

Took her for a ride up to the snow line...messin' around a bit and launched myself into the ditch/bushes...bike was totally upside down...broke the left mirror clean off and almost took the clutch perch with it. Body armor good. Out of practice from winter riding lull...bad. Got a new part to shop for (clutch clamp thingee...and what mirror screws into...that thing)...I'll look it up for the right name. Did I say that body armor is good?

this is what I use:

Changed rimstripe colour from orange to blue because ive ordered som GYTR stuff to go with it.

I did an oil change and chopped the whale tail off.

GYTR Bling, Sandman Freedom Case Saver Kit and Rim Stripes. CLICK HERE

Well, did a little prep on Tink.

- New battery.
- Cleaned air filter
- Put ADV - Texas sticker on
- Slime in tires

In about a week, gonna ride the back jeep trails in Big Bend National Park and Big Bend RAnch State Park. I am stoked and ready to go. 10 day forecast. Clear, low 48 high 82. Should be good!

Put on the FMF header and exhaust, changed plasticsa to black, removed exup, installed a powerlet and cig lighter plug, wired in the Garmin, test drove it butt dyno style before I put on the programmer. I hit second a little too hard and the front wheel got some air. Paul

I didn't know this, but there is more than one formula. And the "tube type" eats aluminum



This was on my ice bike. A screw went through the tube, and 8 months later while swapping tires I found this.

Cleaned some space in my junk room shelves..so I can see what I have...which in terms of the WRR works out to be No Toil, 3 cans cleaner, 1 can oil, 1 can rim grease, and 1 extra preoiled filter. woo hoo.

I had a good day at Windrock yesterday with 3 other guys. I had a front flat twards the end of the day and had to ride about 10 miles back on a flat. I just purchased a Tubliss system for the front, no more pinched tubes for me.

Thanks for the info. If I get a flat I will swap it out and clean the rim real good.

Rode my WR250R all street down Jackson Highway to Ione -> Buena Vista -> Valley Springs -> North Lake Comanche then a boring ride back to Elk Grove.

It was a lot of fun.

Finished up the rear fender trim I've been working on.

Pics?

Sure. I chopped the stock plate holder, added an alum plate backer, moved new blinkers more in board.





Front is new blinkers moved a bit closer to triple.


I got the blinkers from cycle gear; they are on sale.

I had my local shop (JSE perfomance) install new 48 tooth Sunstar rear sprocket, my old one was 47 tooth,,13 tooth Sunstar front sprocket,,Sunstar chain,,replaced the seal behind the front sprocket,,took the swingarm and shock linkage apart and regreased everything,,the old grease was very dirty but no rust,,the best thing I did was send my suspension to Go race,,it got revalved, rebuilt,and new springs...I can't wait untill I can test it out on Sunday,,,,I did notice the front end did not dive when stopping.. also I took my Q4 muffler off and pulled out the old packing,,,,tomorrow I will try to repack it and put it all back together,,then I'll clean the K-N air filer and I should be good..............as soon as I work some more overtime,I'll get new tires and maybe brakes and braided front brake line,,,,,,,,,,,,,,can anyone recomend if I should replace the brake line and where you bought yours.............thanks......Jason

I had a close call at the Ghetto Track ( abandoned kart track ) yesterday. I got too comfy on my ride. I tucked my front wheel in turn two. I felt it let go and push away. I thought "well, here is my 1st Low Side" I regained control and the tires hooked back up. I rode away unscathed.
SO, I decided I'd move forward on the axle sliders project. In the event I do low side. I won't trash my bike.
My DIY kit consist of a few things.
1. SK8 Wheels 100A Durometer wheels. I
chose 100's because I prefer that hardness for the event I low side my bike. 100's will slide VS 85's that would grip possibly flipping my bike causing further damage.
2.Three foot threaded rod. This will be used as a through axle. I'll cut the rod, slide it through the bike's axle and bolt the wheels on each side of the bike.
3. Eight standard washers to push in to the wheels for stability. I'm using them as if they were wheel bearings. Only not as costly and there is really no need for the wheels to roll.
4. Eight standard nuts for mounting the wheels. However, I only used six. I sandwiched the wheel between two washers and two nuts on one side only. I used only one nut for the other wheel on the opposite side of the bike. In the event of a flat tire, all I'll need to do is take off one nut and slide the axle out.
Total cost $35 and about 2 hours of my time.

Installed a HDB plate. And JT helped me (or I helped him) install my FMF Programmer. After a test ride my arms felt longer. Also removed and plugged that solonoid stuff. This week: New 3gal IMS tank, Yamalink and heated grips. Then I'm done. Promise. Paul

Like my nitro can???

Added the Zeta Hand-guards with integrated signals. They seem kind of cheap!
I like the acerbis hand-guards on my XT225 - they are more substantial.

to Midnite 171,,,your bike looks cool,,I've seen red bull stickers but yours is the first full throttle,,,,,,my question is ,,How do you keep your WRR so clean?????????????????????it looks brand new ,,,,,,,,,,,mine is always dirty,,,Jason,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Still waiting for the ice to melt off my road. I finished up some detals on the IMS 4.7 install today and mounted the PMB rack. Hope to ride next week.

I just received my Spiral StepDown seat today. Just a heads up, My stock seat hardware was too short. So I hit the local hardware store and picked up some longer ones. I bought four 6mm X 20mm allen head bolt. They matche the #5 allen wrench that I use to take off my plastics. I only needed three. The third one goes to my air box door. <--- It was a Phillips head. Now all I need is one tool for the seat, plastics and the air box. I noticed that the StepDown seat weighs a lot less. I didn't have a scale for the exact weight, but it feels like half the weight of the stock seat. I just sent my camera off to be cleaned so no photos today. Maybe later this week.
I'll test it out tomorrow and give ya my 2 cents.
Cheers !

Perhaps you'll have a different opinion than me. <-- clicky

This was technically Sunday and Today. I went back to the stock exhaust. I also added a resistor in the EXUP servo plug to kill the check engine light (CEL). No more CEL and much quieter. Most guys think I am crazy for going back to stock but I like quiet bikes. One of the exhaust shield bolts were missing so I just threw one on for now until I either get the correct one or buy two more like the one I used so they are all the same.

From this:


To this:

Changed my front and rear sprocket (to a 48) and replaced the chain. just need to set the chain tension and ride it this weekend .
