I got to spend some quality time with my sons in the garage today.
I helped my older son install new rear sets on his Ducati.
When he didn’t need help I made a bracket for my heated vest plug.
I started another bracket for some switches. I’ll show you what they’re for when I’m finished.
Then it was time for some welding practice with my younger son.
Now it’s time for a beer. ::003::

Spent the day at the local OHV raising a ton of money for a beautiful 9 y/o who was recently diagnosed with leukemia.
Other than the above, I realized that it is almost time to start building the WR250R soooooooooo, that prompted a new tool box to help out. Hey, it was 50% off of retail!!!!!
Suspension and seat arrive back this week. About time to get this party started!!

I have the exact same box Phil minus the middle 2 drawer section and mine is in all black, that was an option a few years back when I got mine. That has the locking drawers and roller ball bearing draw slides?
Great box. Congrats.

got my bike and all my tools in Edmonton now. spent a few hours over the last few days working on her. bikes are out here in the city now, so first thing i did was sort my insurance and sticker so i could take her out asap after i have her back together.
latest things.....
sorted and finalized the wiring end of the admore lighting kit for the jesses...will be finishing that off today with installing the lights into the cases.
Now that the re-flashed ecu is installed, It no longer requires the stock O2 sensors, so those have been unplugged and the power commander optimizer removed (the commander its self and auto tune stay installed as it now just uses the Bosch o2 sensor installed in the collector as part of the pcu kit. also bumped up the co2 settings.
Wire to enable the diag mode.
Co2 set to 3 for cylinder 2
Finally for the day the passenger seat stays removed, the passenger hand rails are removed, this lets me mount the jesse case mounts another half inch or so closer to the bike, and the rear rack (and alt rider rack) in its low position, and enables you to have one big cargo deck.
since i have an alt rider rack, i have the corresponding passenger seat rack ordered to go along with it.

i never removed the full pcv, just the optimizer module as the o2 sensors are not required after the ecu flash and thus neither is the optimizer. the pcv and auto tune module with its own o2 sensor is still installed.

I am not a power commander engineer, just doing what I was told to do unless I misunderstood the instructions. I assumed it would be altering a parameter in the ecu based on what was now programmed into it vs what it would be reading from the stock sensors. Either way the stock sensors are not used, so if it is an irrelevant setting then so be it, no harm done.

Installed new rear HH EBC pads, and new horn.
First time today in over 11k miles I had to use WOT to start the Beast, my fault didn't pull the clutch in before I hit first stalled it and she was not going to re start.

Went into the garage, put in a rack for my trunk, fixed the rear tire, sat on it, started her up, rev a bit, stared at it a bit more, sat on it again....so on and so on.
Waiting for the next nice day I have off and stretch her legs!!

Alex with Konflict Motorsports and Suspension. Had him do front and rear with springs, fluids, and valving. It actually arrived back at end of the week but no one was home. Should be here tomorrow. I'm pretty excited to get it back and begin the build.avc8130 said:
The HDB guards and AdvDx top clamp are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. The Wolfman side bags arrived today. All that is left is to go get gearing and for the seat to return from Renazco, which should happen by end of next week. I've been on the Crisman Gear site as they have a great gearing computation calculator which allowed me to determine what I want to start with while accounting for the new tires and their larger diameter along with the desire to lower gearing. I'm going to start with 13/48 gears.
Hope to start the build this weekend with any luck and hope of some time off.

It seems to me like reengineering the bike.Firefight911 said:
Excellent. Let me know how you like it. I'm actually going with a Racetech kit up front. They came highly recommended for dirt from the guys at GP. I should have that in and back on the bike by Thursday.Firefight911 said:
Let me know how that 13/48 works out for you. I'm going to attempt stock gearing, but the chain has a few kinks so I will probably be looking for the magic combo by summer.

MZee, Phil is talking about the suspension, seat, and gearing on his WR250R not his Ten.
Suspension and gearing is no where near reengineering a dirt bike. Especially dual sport bikes. Factory's build generic suspension and gearing to fit the masses but if you ride more hiway open riding, fast desert stuff you will definitely want some higher gears. If you like quick snappier power and ride slower, rougher, more technical single track you probably will want lower gearing. Same with its legs, bigger person, smaller person, loaded, unloaded, aggressive or mild riding manners all make springs and valving necessary on most bikes.
Seats of course are always a nice touch since most factory seats are minimally comfy and my butt is not the same as others butts....Picture the guys who help factories test and develop a new bike...a big factory Yamaha guy is Doug Dubach, we used to even say the early Yami YZ400F was the bike Dubach built, well that guy puts thousands of track laps in a week, is crazy fit, small and compact, and used to MX style skinny hard seats....to him the WR250R seat is probably really comfy, maybe even too soft. For me and my 210 lb. couch potato butt would probably hate it after 100+ miles.
No re-engineering there, just personalizing.

It's all good
Put on my Madstad windshield bracket, touratech headlight guard, and tried out my new lift. oh yeah - started her for the first time since Oct. ::014::
