Yamaha WR250R Mega Thread

[jonb]

Its the Dyna Ring from Revloc that looks intriquing to me. Its in the final stages of testing. You can still jump start your bike. You can't stall it and it is a quick install with external adjustment at the lever. There are a few hitches like riding over 50 mph constantly may need a little adjustment to compensate for clutch plate pressures, but all doable to me. The price is sub $400.

The Ring was being tested when I spoke to them two weeks ago. I am not sure it was ready for prime time as our clutch is a difficult clutch for them to fit.
If anyone actually has tried one of these or knows they are available, keep me posted.
The conversation i had was a really good one and the guy knew our bike well which is a plus.

Capitol Reef is pretty darn awesome when it's raining!

We were in Moab monday & tuesday, went for a 'short' ride on Wed, then got into Hanksville late Wed.

Wed. was Tom's birthday!!!
He had a fun & memorable ride for his.. um.. 40th?

I had a day off yesterday and decided to put in my new pump. I agree, the new pump sounds completely different and I take it as a good sign that they updated the part.
$213 plus shipping from service honda is a heck of alot cheaper than breaking down somewhere in Mexico 12 hours from home.

No candles on my BD cake, we thought we might need them for our overnight stay on the Kane Creek Trail

I was up there Fri/Sat/Sun on the 950. All the dirt roads were closed. I tried to sneak in to the Burr Trail the back way from Starr Ranch and ran into this. Not fun on a 950. Would have been cake on the WRR. Ended up doing three days of slab.

This, my friend, is an awesome picture! Great camera positioning. It looks like some alien landscape.
