Yamaha XT description

2014 Yamaha XT250, 2014 Yamaha XT250 GO WHERE YOU WANT. The electric stars, fuel injected XT250 is the bike for the person who wants the versatility to go wherever the road or trail might take them. Light and nimble with a low seat height and legendary Yamaha durability, the XT is the perfect traveling companion. Standard Features 249cc air-cooled four-stroke with 9.5:1 compression makes for great on- and off-road performance. The XT250 has fuel injection for smooth throttle response and easy starting in nearly all conditions. A light-and-strong forged piston inside a plated cylinder helps dissipate heat more efficiently, increasing both performance and durability. A semi-double-cradle steel frame achieves a lighter, nimbler feel through greater mass centralization. Greater lateral and torsional rigidity and reduced weight of the lower frame parts help produce light, stable handling. The front fork has 8.9 inches of travel to soak up the rough stuff, both on-road and off. An aluminum lower triple clamp keeps the weight down. Maximum turning angle of the handlebar is 51 degrees almost like a trials machine. Combined with a short wheelbase of only 53.5 inches, the XT250 has a super-tight turning radius for excellent maneuverability.

Mon, 11 Jul 2011

Yamaha is initiating a recall campaign the 2011 FJR1300, just a week after a separate recall for the 2006-2009 versions of the sport touring motorcycle. Like the earlier campaign, the recall for the 2011 Yamaha FJR1300 is for an electrical issue,  this time for the brake lights. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, brake light on affected units may not illuminate when the front brake lever is applied because the activating mechanism in the brake switch can bind.

Spotted the link to this short film on a Dutch blog. It's beautifully shot/directed and captures GP rider Mike Duff's recovery from a horrific hip and pelvis injury suffered at the Japanese GP which cost him a six month stay in hospital. Watching him push-start makes you wince just imagining the pain he must have been in.
