Yamaha WR250X DRC Motard Supermoto Footpeg Review
The WR250X comes from the factory with basically a set of dirt bike footpegs. They provide a descent amount of grip, but have a pretty narrow platform for your boots to rest on, and since the pegs have no sliders, they could potentially dig into the pavement if you get the bike real low in…

Great day for a ride
Got about 130 miles in today… up the Valley Parkway all the way to the lake and back. It was pretty cloudy out all day, so I think most people stayed indoors, which meant the the roads were pretty empty.

Yamaha WR250R and WR250X Skid Plate
Today I got my new Zeta Racing ED Skid Plate mounted. I don't do any serious off-roading with this bike, but occasionally venture onto some gravel roads and you just never know when a rock or something is going to get kicked up and potentially do some damage. The skid plate mounts to the…

Outrunning the storms
There was a good chance of thunderstorms today but I decided to take the WR250X out anyways. Got a good 100 miles in before I noticed some dark clouds brewing to the west, so I decided to start heading back home. This was a good move on my part because shortly after I got home…

WR250X Tires
After about 3000 miles the stock rear tire on my WR250X was completely shot. I was going to just replace it with another Bridgestone BT-090 Battlax, but decided I wanted something with a little more grip. I've used Bridgestone BT-003's on another bike and really liked them, so that's what I went with. IMHO…

A mid-winter ride on the WR250X
Temperatures were in the high 50's today, so I decided to get the WR250X out and take it for a ride. It's been cold and snowy here, so I hadn't had the bike out since early December! Unfortunately it was windy as hell so I got blown all over the place, and the roads were…

Garmin GPS 60CSx for my WR250X
I decided it was finally time to get a GPS for the motorcycle. I have a Garmin Nuvi 765T in my car, but wanted something a bit more worthy of outdoor use for when I'm out riding. Here's the setup you see in the photo above… • Garmin GPS 60CSx Handheld GPS Navigator • RAM…

Comparison: Yamaha WR250X vs. Kawasaki Ninja 250R
This may seem like an odd thing to do…. compare and contrast a 250cc sport bike and a 250cc motard, but I do get the occasional question of which bike I prefer. Having just over 3000 miles on both my 2009 Yamaha WR250X and my 2009 Kawasaki Ninja 250R, I think I'm able to offer…
