actually the first YZ 250 WR was in 1989 and it had basically the same set up as Bruce’s.

im rebiulding one for a mate at the moment and sourcing parts…

they are so similar… :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

bloody old schoolers….

thats YOU and the bike Bruce :laugh: :laugh:

Not sure on the ’89, but the 91/92 had a real fat lowend and midrange, that didn’t taper off at all, they used to stomp the MXers of the time in accelleration and topspeed…. the way an enduro bike should behave, all balls and ballerina turning ability…

when you get it back together Menace, take it for a good ride, I rode a ’92 a few months back, put a huge smile on my face…. nice rear suspension ratios too…

they are near identical from 89-94. they have the 3JE engine. the WR has different gearbox bits, hence the WR = Wide Ratio.
but hey, why am i telling you this shit Bruce :laugh: its a YZ :laugh:

it ripped when i rode it years ago but is a basket case now :dry: only the cases are really salvagable. everything else will be new OEM :woohoo: ive been sourcing parts all week bloody old schoolers :laugh:

you legend Roy, i have been looking for one of those. i showed Tisco from suttos one and he couldnt source it..

it will defo be air in the banjo.
go to the chemist or vet and get a massive syringe and connect it to squirt from the caliper end. it will prolly help if you put the caliper on the ground too.
then pump the whole syringe through as fast as you can, letting it spill out onto a rag from the master cyl.
make sure you nip the nipple up before getting to the end of the syringy.
refill and repeat as necessary.

piece of piss mate…..

thanks for the Slavens find

i dont think there is anything wrong with that easy cleaning, no toiling type of filter oil.

in fact i’d go as far as saying its user error that causes this problem.

if the instructions are read properly for this product, it will be noticed that the filters are to be left out to dry before being reinstalled. the spirit based emulsion needs to eveporate to leave the active ingrediants stuck to the filter. if the filter is not dry before installation (when it is dry, it losses its chalky look) the imulsion, including the all important oil will drain out.

i leave mine out to dry overnight, on some newspaper, seal side down.
i thought everybody did this??

looks like a poor tradesman blaming his tools to me :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[dennis da menaceMember]

and just to throw a spanner in the works…

i saw this on another site just now and had to laugh.

ADR cant be that hard to get, it has NSW rego :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Just to add a few more comments regarding Vic Rec Rego.
1 I stated that I had never considered using a MX-er as a trailer bike as I thought that they where to expensive to maintain and to unreliable over long periods of use.

2 To make a bike compliant for Rec Rego re lights it is not just a matter of bolting a headlight, tail light and hooking up a battery to make them work, they are suppose to have an on-board charging system not a toll lost unit which I would think that in to-days money would not be cheap.

3 Trail bike riding in the bush is supposed to be carried in the same manner as if you where ride on the road as the same road rules apply. The Federal and State parks and forests are for everyone to enjoy, and by no means a personal enduro track for people how are past it or can not hold there own in real competition.

4 As for those that are not of sound mind stating that ADR compliant bikes are different to MX-ers, I was not aware that there was any body on this site that is suitable qualified to make that judgement as there is quite a lot of difference other wise makers would just hang light on an MX-er and sell it as an enduro bike. Also if you people want to gain public support for your cause it would probably be an idea not to post pic’s of trying to ride up already rutted out hills and videos of of people riding down hills on unmade tracks. I to have did the same when I was younger but I gave most of that up 40 years ago, I am a firm believer in the Tread Lightly way of doing things eg treat the bush with respect and you will be able to use it , stuff it up and you’ll be locked out.
Jim Drew.

jimbo,

1- fair enough you never want an MXer but plenty of blokes do, thats their perogative.
there isnt any more maintance on an MXer, well i cant see how their would be. (ie; i ride a 300EXC-e, the maintenance is the same for the MX version)

2- anyone can go to Ballards and buy a “Rec Rego Lighting Kit” for about $160. it runs off the primary side of the CDI and therefore is a not full loss system and is considered legal for rec rego.
it has 3 led’s for a headlight, 1 for tail, 2 for braekes and the associated loom to hook it up.
it is as useless as tits on a bull, but it IS legal.

3- youre right, the forests are for everyone and unless signed are a 60km/h zone in victoria (i think, if not, 100km/h).
i ride tracks that i couldnt do 60km/h through on my best day but i know fella’s that could smash that if they wanted to.
does that make them hoons, cause they ride faster than me but within the laws of federal and state?
i dont htink so.
in fact if you wanna be picky Jimbo, everytime your rear tyre breaks traction you are committing an offence, just like doing a burnout in a car:whistle:
we all get old and slow down, time for us to sit back and watch the young cocks do what we used to do….. stack!!

4- as i stated in my earlier post, ADR has more to do with shit like,
minimum tailight size and proper lensing,
non glaring headlight for oncoming drivers,
must be key lockable, by ignition or steering lock,
must have a stand that flicks up when not used,
must have reflectors viewable for all angles,
must have certain sized indicators,
must have a chainguard,
a speedo,
high beam and turning lamps on dash,

etc,etc,etc.

the Euro manufacturers mostly make an ADR comliant MXer, sold as an enduro. the Japs dont as they dont see the market with their funny little eyes. :laugh: :laugh:
how many KTMs, Bergs and Huskis do you see now on the trails….
they are like aresoles, everyone has one…
and for good reason.

and the rest of your ranton #4, we all know…

and respect.

cheers,

menace

you’s are all tripping.

there is no need for ADR for Rec Rego in Vic and never has been.

in fact Vicroads have just changed the rules to allow NON ADR compliant vehicles (including trikes, quads and buggies) to be used by Cocky’s and other holders of a “primary producers” or “farmers” rego within a few KMs of their property.
the chinese shit will flood in here for them.

no one checks up on rec rego either Scotty, just like they dont with our cars either. no yearly RWC for us.
green slips and pink slips are just feeding the hungry insurance bastards.

also ADR has little to do with quality control. it has more to do with headlight glare and taillight sizes and steering locks, than how good your frame is welded together or whether you can bend your handlebars by hand :laugh: :laugh:

its a good thing when properly used.

but like they say, “locks only keep the honest thieves out”.
