    2008 Yamaha WR250X Supermoto

    2008 Yamaha WR250X Supermoto
    Clean title
    3300 miles


    This bike was purchased at the end of 2013, and used by me to compete in the Formula 300 race class of the Loudon Road Racing Series in 2014. The bike saw use in 5 full rounds of racing; one 8 lap sprint, 20 minutes of morning practice, and roughly one practice day per weekend of each month, April-August. Total mileage accrued was ~600 miles, and the oil was changed after every event.

    Bike includes full sets of both blue 2008 OEM bodywork and black 2009 OEM bodywork. The blue bodywork has typical street use scratches, the black bodywork is immaculate. Includes all parts necessary for street legal use. I can deliver the bike in any configuration requested for the new buyer based on the parts and bodywork listed below. Detailed/specific pictures can be taken upon request.

    Modifications:
    • Rear shock refreshed/revalved with Racetech valving & sprung for a 180# rider
    • Front forks refreshed/revalved with Penske 20mm valves & sprung for a 180# rider
    • Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa V2 DOT race tires; 120/70 SC2 front / 150/60 SC1 rear
    • EBC HH front brake pads
    • RK RX-ring chain
    • Full range of gearing; 12/13/14t front sprockets, 38/40/42/43/46t rear sprockets
    • DRC Supermoto foot pegs
    • DynoJet Power Commander V with fully custom map from Dyno Solutions
    • Renthal Fatbar, black - Reed/Windham bend
    • Pro-Taper 1 1/8" bar mounts
    • Ballistic 4 cell lightweight battery
    • Carbon Fiber lower belly pan
    • Acerbis Supermoto front fender


    Uninstalled/spare parts included:
    • Complete spare wheel set with Pirelli Diablo Rains
    • Two sets of handguards, one black and one blue
    • OEM footpegs
    • OEM battery
    • OEM handlebars/mounts
    • Mirrors, turn signals, headlight, taillight to make bike fully street legal
    • FMF custom exhaust(FMF can welded to stock mid-pipe)
    • Modified stock exhaust cap with spark arrestor eliminated


    This bike is fully set up for road racing(it is legal for use in LRRS Novice "4" classes, LRRS Formula 300, or CCS Ultralight Thunderbike) or supermoto paved course racing. This also means it makes a killer tight-track trackday bike, and would handle any twisty road the street could throw at it. With the second set of wheels and some adjustments to the suspension settings, it could make a great trail bike or ice bike also. Basically, it's an amazing all around motorcycle to own, it's just not the right platform for me right now.

    Asking $6000 for the complete package.
    The bike will be available immediately following the 5th round of the Loudon Road Racing Series, on August 18.

    As it sat on day one with blue street bodywork:


    As it sits now:

    I must be blind cause I still don't see it. I'm also a southerner with severe ADD so I probably just saw something shiny before I got to it, possibly not able too read at all. Sweet ride, GLWS.

    Hmmm...I'm guessing you're using Tapatalk? I just looked, and the two line section where the price is listed doesn't show up on Tapatalk, but does show up in a browser.

    Thanks. I'll likely end up with another LW bike.
