This holiday season is a great time to add a few new mods to your WR250R. Here are some of our favorite mods and accessories for the 2008-2011 Yamaha WR250R...
One of the first things WR250R owners will do to their bike is get rid of that huge stock rear tail light configuration. The DRC Edge tail light kit helps you do just that. In conjuction with a pair of DRC turn signals, it really cleans up the rear fender area of the bike. If your looking to replace the rear tail light and turn signals plus the front turn signals, there is a package deal available.
Easily our best selling rack for the WR250R, the Pro Moto Billet WR250R Cargo Rack is CNC machined from a 1/2 inch thick plate of 6061 billet aluminum, and is then “hard black” anodized for durability, ease of maintenance, and protection from the elements. Stainless steel fasteners provide carefree maintenance. The rack is a must if you want to carry anything on the back of your WRR. Oh, and this rack is made right here in the good ole USA.
One of the best "first mods" to this bike is a new skid plate. The factory lower engine protection that comes on the WR250R is pretty much worthless, so a high quality skid plate is a must if you intend on doing any off-roading with the bike. Our favorite is the Flatland Racing Skid Plate. This thing is a is a work of art. Fit and finish is first rate and the welds are beautiful. The plate itself is made of rugged 3/16" tig welded aluminum, and features a built-in clean out slot and an oversized oil drain hole, which makes draining your engine oil a breeze. We've combined this skid plate with the Flatland Racing Radiator Guard in this handy package deal.
The WR250R is a pretty tall bike, so if you are slightly height-challenged like myself, the Yamalink Lowering Link is a must-have mod. Combined with the factory lowering option, it will help lower the seat height by approximately two (2) inches. After doing this mod to our WR250R project bike, I'm much more comfortable on the bike both on the street and in those nasty off-road situations.
If you're looking to get rid of the big ugly mirrors that come stock on your WR250R (or WR250X), these high quality billet aluminum bar end mirrors might just do the trick. You can mount them in the end of any 7/8 bars, or remove the bar end inserts and clamp them to virtually any handlebar. On our WR250R, we chose to do the latter and removed the bar end inserts, then clamped them to the stock handlebars right near the crossbar.
