We highly
recommend and use the following Yamaha models. All models are
fully road legal in New Zealand.
We make the
following modifications; (after your local bike shop has removed
all emission control, small carb jets, and other performance
robbing gear)
Re-route one
carburetor vent hose up into the airbox. This will ensure the
bike keeps running when crossing streams or rivers.
If planning to
ride distances greater than 100kms you will need to consider
fitting a bigger fuel tank. We believe
Ballards
have produced a 10 litre, and possibly an even larger, fuel
tank for the WR450F.
The WR250F has a
fuel range of more than 140 plus kms. The TTR250 has a similar
fuel range to the WR250F
Fit bushbars. We
use and recommend Barkbusters. Fortunately the WR250F and WR450F
are factory fitted with alloy reinforced bushbars.(in NZ)
We recommend
fitting heavy duty tubes front and rear especially if riding in
rocky terrain such as South Island New Zealand.
