the tires are bridgestone tw301 and tw302. i just boughtone a couple days ago.i was going to get the klx but i ended up getting the yami.

 

Their is a good report on Thumper Talkon how to lower the WR 250. The rear shock has an adjustment on it. You don't have to use lowering links or touch the spring. The front, you just slide the forks up in the triple trees. I'm not a big fan of the color of theWR 250 ButI would bet in six months or so their will be a ton of aftermarket Plastics for this bike and you would have a much bigger choice of colorsand parts than our beloved KLX. I would not sell my KLX for the new WR but If I was in the market for a new 250, (09KLX or 08WR) I would get the WR hands down.... Just remember no sense on arguing which bike is better Because everyone knows that the 06 klx ( w/the green head light and seat strap removed) is thefastest 250 out there!!!!...........lol

 

The dealer here in M.E. will sell me one for $6000 otd I'm really tempted I now have an 06 with mods I'm just not sure what type power the Yami wil put out in compairson can anyone help me understand.

 

Personally, I don't like the look of the rear tail light set-up....I'd prefer it snugged up under the fender like the edge tail lites..that fender on the rear is not so hot either, it looks too thin...but I am sure it would be a fun ride.

 

We had better get used to it. This is the future for trailbikes.
It is getting rave reviews.
It's way way way too tall for me and the exhaust system looks more road than trail.
But I think all the manufacturers will copy this example of giving pretty good performance and handling in a package that doesn't need too much maintanance.

And there will be higher capacity versions of this type of bike.
