    I have 2 rim locks and will be removing one to make future tube / tyre changes easier.

    Is there a preferred rim lock to remove. The one closest to the valve or the one on the opposite side to the valve?

    Cheers

    LC is on the money, you can then fit tyre and tube as one, always cracks me up that WR’s seem to have two rim locks on a 250

    On the rear? Perhaps they are expecting some tyre creep from the awesome power of the WR?

    What am I saying?!?!?!?!

    generic wheel setup on the yamahas, they will interchange with other models, so they probably come out with two holes drilled Ex supplier. But also don’t forget braking causes tube creep as well, and lets face it 250f riders can be late brakers.

    Thanks for not mentioning that it was me that had Inskips fit two rimlocks to the rear of the 250 when I bought it – Oh crap did I think that or type it.

    Probably why they gave me that “your gotta be shitten me” look when I wanted the two rim locks.
