The WR is a 250, not a 450. With the 250, you just pin it until the rev limiter stops you

My stock tank is in the attic. The Safari isn't going anywhere
![]() IMS has a couple options that are cheaper than the Safari. If I were to do it over again right now, I'd get the IMS 3.0 gallon. It uses the stock side panels and I have never had to put more than 3 gallons in mine when I fill up anyway. It's usually 2.5-2.75. It doesn't need an auxiliary vacuum fuel pump either. |

My first two fill-ups yielded almost exactly 70 mpg; tonight's was about 64. Better than what I am used to, but I expected better from a conservatively-ridden 250. Quote:
A hard-case arrangement is in the works as well, contrary to the better judgement of masses of online off-road riders. No one makes a kit to fit Givi E21 cases, but I've made it my mission to use them. Cheaper and better looking than aluminum, with integrated locks. |

This might be the most fun I've ever had on a motorcycle, and I don't even know what I'm doing.

Considering this skid plate: SKID PLATE BASH GUARD YAMAHA WR250R/X 2008 to 2011 - $69.99 Hand guards are another story. There are too many to choose from. I want a basic steel or aluminum bar to which I can attach a non-vented plastic or vinyl deflector in cold weather. |

That skid plate looks as good as any.
I went with Zeta hand guards with the integrated turn signals. Love 'em. |
