Yamaha WR description

Up for auction is a 2008 Yamaha WR450. Mechanically perfect, normal wear on the plastics and cases. No issues, needs nothing, ready to ride. It is street legal with all proper equipment. I have installed high quality dual sport parts from Sicass racing; LED signals front and rear, LED tail light with plate holder, rear brake light switch, horn, and handlebar switch. Kenda 760 Trakmaster DOT on the rear and a Dunlop 739 up front. Both tires have one ride on them. Clarke 3.6 gallon transparent fuel tank is mounted on the bike. Cycra full wrap hand guards and aluminum GYTR skid plate. AIS and snorkel have been removed. Throttle stop replaced with YZ stop. Dial-A-Jet fuel mixture screw mounted on carb.


Bike has been well maintained and never abused.

Included with the bike is a set of brand new blue fenders, extra white rear fender, blue headlight mask with background sticker, blue shrouds with OEM graphics, 13 tooth front sprocket (new in package), 15 tooth front sprocket, 52 tooth rear sprocket (new in package), OEM factory tank, Safari brand aftermarket 4.1 gallon tank (brand new, never had fuel in it) , new OEM seat cover, new OEM complete seat.

In the past few months I have installed a new battery, new fork seals and new water pump seals and gaskets (normal maintenance items).

I bought the bike in 2008 and swapped out the blue plastics for white (the headlight mask is painted). I rode the bike mostly in Wayne NF and in the dualsport events here in Ohio. It was trailered  to Moab twice and the Black Hills once where the bike was used as a light adventure bike. Comfortable enough  to ride all day. Lots of fun on tight trails and dirt roads. Bike performed great through the desert and in the mountains.
Bike needs nothing. It has sat in my garage collecting dust for the last few weeks. 

Local pick up only. I have no interest in crates and shipping. Can probably meet buyer someplace reasonably close to SW Ohio. Ask before you buy please.

AMA Supercross – 2012 Oakland Results

Mon, 30 Jan 2012

The 2012 AMA Supercross Championship race is getting tighter with a fourth race winner in as many rounds following James Stewart‘s victory in Oakland, Calif. The JGRMX Yamaha racer captured his first win of the 2012 season at Oakland’s O.co Coliseum. Stewart out-dueled longtime rival Chad Reed of TwoTwo Motorsports Honda for the win.

Back in the day, the All Japan 500cc Championship at Tsukuba

Fri, 24 Jun 2011

This ‘you tube’ gem sent to me recently brought back some funny memories from the scary but incredibly exciting days of 500cc two stroke racing. This particular race was the final round of the All Japan 500cc Championship at Tsukuba Circuit where I enjoyed a head to head battle with national hero Tadahiko Taira. Yamaha’s favourite son at the time, ‘tie wrap’ as we liked to call him, was taller and better looking than most Japanese riders (maybe a war baby?) and went on to win nearly everything in Japan during his career.

Q3 2013 US Motorcycle Sales Results

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

Motorcycle and scooter sales in the U.S. in 2013 remain consistent with last year’s figures, according to data released by the Motorcycle Industry Council. Several manufacturers blamed poor weather for the poor start this year, and the rebounding sales in the third quarter helped to negate the slow sales from earlier in the year.
