Scotty's adventure bike.2008 yamaha wr250x. Mods and tweaks, reviews and musings about motorcycles, parts, and accessories. Friday, May 21, 2010. I put the sticky velcro patch right on the plug cover on the relay, then stuck the programmer on it. The manual suggested putting it in front of the battery. I've seen them mounted in lots of different places. I don't figure on adjusting it much once it is set to my preferences, so it will be fine under the side panel. I put it all back together and it started ...

Scotty's adventure bike.2008 yamaha wr250x. Mods and tweaks, reviews and musings about motorcycles, parts, and accessories. Monday, October 24, 2011. Ims 475 tank install. This was from a forum, posted in May, 2011. I saw a box today at the front of the garage. maybe the first 4.75 g. ims tank in common consumer hands! So i quickly took off my old 3.1 tank, and began putting it together. Not much stuff came with it. a vacuum hose, vent hose, o-ring, cap, directons, stickers. I put my saddle bags over the...

Since getting the ims tank, i've been tinkering with a few other mods, getting ready for next weeks ride in Utah. Here's a few of them. Radiator guard. Flatlands. LED tail light, brake light, turn signal combo. I re worked the light housing and plate holder and added a pipe standoff for my saddlebags. Open up airbox more. I raised...

Scotty's adventure bike.2008 yamaha wr250x. Mods and tweaks, reviews and musings about motorcycles, parts, and accessories. Sunday, March 28, 2010. New tires. shinko 244 dual sport on the x. I changed out my tires this week. i had pirelli mt21's on before, which were an aggressive knobby. These are more dual sport, but i think they will do fine for me in 95% of the riding i do. They are similar in profile. The shinko's are a little smaller in width and diameter. no more than about 1/2". 6 good road tire.

Scotty's adventure bike.2008 yamaha wr250x. Mods and tweaks, reviews and musings about motorcycles, parts, and accessories. Wednesday, June 15, 2011. Shinko 244 tires. more. I've got these tires with about 8k miles on them, now. I'll give a few reasons i like them. 1 good knobbies, good traction. They handled as well for me as my full knobby pirelli mt 21's. 2 great in the paved twisties. No trouble at all, much faster than the pirelli's. I got scared before the tires did. 3 Slide forward in the twisties...

Scotty's adventure bike.2008 yamaha wr250x. Mods and tweaks, reviews and musings about motorcycles, parts, and accessories. Sunday, March 6, 2011. Helmet cam and mount. Here's the helmet cam mount i've been using for the last year or so. It seems to work, so i've stayed with it. Here's the velcro strap on the mount. I zip tied a piece of silicone handlebar grip to it to hold it out the right distance. It straps right next to the inside chin foam. The shield will still close, but not tightly.

Scotty's adventure bike.2008 yamaha wr250x. Mods and tweaks, reviews and musings about motorcycles, parts, and accessories. Sunday, August 22, 2010. Minimal travel gear. some thoughts on what to pack. I don't do a lot of solo riding and camping, but when i do, i like to keep it simple. There's something about getting away from other people and conversation. words and other's thoughts. .just the sounds of nature, and the bike when riding. Not much is essential. Helmet, gloves, boots. I have my first aid k...

scotty's adventure bike...............2008 yamaha wr250x: November 2010
http://rydnseekbike.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Scotty's adventure bike.2008 yamaha wr250x. Mods and tweaks, reviews and musings about motorcycles, parts, and accessories. Friday, November 5, 2010. Last year sometime, it started to act up. The bike would only start if put in neutral. I traced it to my jumper coming loose. I squeezed the clips, reinstalled it and taped it up. Everything back to normal. My more permanent splices should do the trick, and i don't anticipate any more issues with them. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

I seldom write on this blog, but thought i should update it to at least show my current bike. It is a 2008 Yamaha wr250x. I'll post some pics of it and try to show any mods i've made. I got it in July of '09. It had 220 miles on it. It is the super moto version, but i put knobby tires on it for more offroad worthiness. I put the s...
