New from MA

Hello everyone! I am new here and looks to be a great deal of good people and great information.

I have an '11 WR250X, which is a blast but I used to love enduro so i am building some R wheels for my X. As I am finding out this is going to be a money pit - HAHA!

Ed

Welcome! Its worth every penny!

Welcome to the forum! Money well spent........

Yeah, I am sure it will be worth it, like having two bikes!

Welcome to the pack, Ed!

Thanks for the welcome!

hey,you should follow us on SMJ for rides ect.
Did the second set of wheels thing as well.Out in monson right now with the chain saw.Once things settle down will get in touch.

Took it up some pretty narly washed out trails with the X tires, the bike did well till I ran into some mud ruts. Those roae tires are more than adequate on dry areas but no so much on mud, haha!

Waiting for wheels, front brake assembly, skid plate and front wheel spacers. It was fun hitting the trails again.

dtx, I am in the Pittsfield area, not too far from Monson...

funny you should say pitts. Got my 08 at Ronnies,only one i could find at the time.Mama knows the family real well. looks like Oct mtn is a good ride for these bikes.
Still cleaning up after the storm.

hello, and welcome,,,..after you get your r wheels let me know if you want to ride sometime.. I live in Conn. not too far from Monson.. last fall I rode around the otis and quaben resivoirs areas.. very nice scenery..Jason

Well, thanks for all the wecomes! I finally got my wheels (been a month), and guess what they sent me WR250F wheels which don't fit the X (or R). Brought them back to the dealer and will try the wheels from Wheeling, they sound like what I need, we'll see. Pretty disappointing, waisting alot of good riding.

Yes, October Mtn IS a nice place to ride, lots of places in Berkshire County. Had to get my MASS ATV registration ($40 for two years). Seems that a regular registration and insurance is not enough any more, don't you love it...

get up to speed,or spend money on fines

Geez, still waiting for my wheels, they sent the wrong ones the first time - got them from Wheeling Cycle this time, might be in next week!

Got a set from Forest few years back. Think the new ones are better. Went to yamaha motosports plaza for spare rotors. Makes the swap easy.

Yeah, I got a 49 tooth sprocket and front and rear rotors, also got a whole front brake assembly so I can just swap the wheels and the front brake.

Went with the largest yamaha sprocket,second chain.Wanted it to spool up quicker off road.Added so much more rear wheel dia that the stocker was geared rather low.

Ok, got the new wheels today from Wheeling (very nice, fit exactly as described). The only issue and it is not that much of an issue is, my kickstand is too short now! Haha, the wheels have increased the height of the bike by at least an inch and a half to two inches! I got a 49 tooth rear sprocket and the bike is a freaking bear in the woods now.

Question: will a wr250f or 450f kickstand fit the X? I might have to fabricate a longer kickstand...

always wondered if the r and x stand are diffrent. in the barn i use a moose stand in the axel,carry block of wood for parking lots.

just checked,diff p/n.

They DEFINITELY stand differently! I thought it would tip over after I took it off the stand and let it come down on the kickstand...
