    NOPE, I am not after one :laugh: The 690 is here to stay :P

    But look like going to look at one for a mate`s young bloke on the weekend ;)
    He is yet to get his L`s so I volunteered to have a gander for him as a second set of eyes…

    Anything I should look for apart from the obvious on the WRR ? From all I have seen and heard they are pretty much bulletproof for a 250,,,

    Thanx in advance

    Hi Eag’s,

    There is probably not much I can tell you that you don’t already know about bikes in general that you wouldnt know better than me. But It’s my opinion that the air filters on these bikes are prone to getting very dirty very quickly and require regular attending……more than you might think. Perhaps check out the air filter as a guide to the level of care and maintenance that it’s had. But by the same token if it is filthy, it may have only been like that since it’s last ride……..hope that helps somewhat…..also you could call Steve “Wolfman” Smith or ask TB about Wolfies bike.

    Yeah,,
    I had heard that actually about the filters,,
    I will check that for sure as well as some other things.

    The young bloke got his L`s today (only rang RTA this morning too and got straight into the course and test) Bloody Uni students with free time :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I know TB is already a fan of the R`s and he once said he would consider one for his OS Trip coming up due to the reliability and capabilities B)

    Thanx Amy ;)

    Cumon Eags we know its really for you, years ago when you used to be a trail rider you would not have even asked this question but now your a gay adventure rider you need to look for the complete opposite of what you now ride

    Lightweight
    Powerfully
    Good suspension

    Summary
    Even a trashed thrashed and bashed WR would be an
    Improvement on your B double :P

    I will see you at Nundle later in the year and we can talk about that over a brew :laugh:
    September is the plan isn`t it ?????

    Hey Rocket,,
    Yeah the 690 handles the singles, better than most expect, as you found out :)
    But the offer is sadly not up for you to flog it like it was yours either :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    My advice would be to check the same things you would on a 690. Are the mirrors straight? Is it running slicks, and is there no dirt on it. I have attached an example of how it should look below. :laugh:

    Back on the real topic ,,, Again :whistle:

    The trip went ahead this morning,,
    Road trip to check out the 250,
    All good, owner had not much of an idea really about bike (only an L plater himself), only 7000k on the clock, engine oil clean as a whistle. With the service intervals on these things, it was hardly even run in, runs as smoth as silk :)

    Deal was done and bike brought back to my place for a good going over, wash, detail, Air Filter clean (new one installed, old one washed)
    Lowered the seat height a tad,, the young bloke is only 58kgs so struggled to get his feet on the ground :laugh:
    Adjusted the clickers all round to standard setting…
    He is buying new rear tyre this week, chain, Yamalube oil and filter so we can change them all next weekend and get him set with his service schedule,,,,

    It came up a million bucks actually and came with White Bros pipe installed, spare tubes, spare spark plug, new air filter, Pro Billet rear rack and Giant Loop coyote loop bag , old pipe and emission gear that was removed etc etc

    It was enjoyable to help him out, show him some things and watch his smile widen when it was detailed and looking like brand new B)
    I forgot to get any pics though :whistle: :laugh:
