SO I have e mailed every aftermarket skid plate maker I could think of ,and no one makes a skid plate for the new wr250R , so I called yamaha usa in california , a product specialist told me that a skid plate from a wr250f would fit. I said are you sure about that, he put me on hold for 5 minutes , came back and said yes, even gave me the part number.
I figured if the GYTR one would fit , than an aftermarket one would too. I bought one online , got it, and it didn't fit, so I returned it, bought the GYTR one from a dealer and that didn't fit either, not even close, the frame shape is totaly different , so I returned it, called yamaha back to say WTF? I'm told that oops we thought it would fit, and that we are sorry but accessories won't be out until end of summer.
I asked my boss at work if he knew a place local other than home cheapo that had aluminum plate I could buy, he asked what size and what is it for. Then proceeded to hook me up with a free piece of 1/8'' plate in the size I needed
THank you very much!
I spent a couple hours last night fabbing it up and put the finishing touches on it this morning, it isn;t the prettiest thing but for not having a sheer or a press etc, I think it came out okay for a hand drill, jig saw , bench vice, dremmel , and hand a held grinder.
