My new YBR250 that will take me around China

[modron]

Hi,

As promised Im posting some pics of my new Yamaha YBR250. I bought the bike just over a week ago and till now i have only 430km on the clock. Ive changed oils 3 times already. Before I even rode it I had changed that yamalube stuff that factory puts inside and Ive replaced it with this Motul 3000. Than Ive changed oil at 50km and 250km. Will do one more change at 500km and at 1500km but her ill put some synthetic as it should be broke it by then.

Apart from few things the bike has been great and real fun.
Gears are a bit strange cos they dont change as smoothly as Ive expected (sometimes hard sometimes smooth) but then again, I have nothing to compare so I dunno. Maybe It should be this way. The breaks are also not great (my scooter has better) but they are still new so Ill give them some time before I complain ;)

Ive put some hand guards on the bike. Soon Ill be getting windshield and crash bars, and I will also ask some local steel shop to make a skid board as I might run into some harsh terrain in western China and Mongolia. Ill be putting these tires on before my trip http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=...id=17337658701 and http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=...d=18387559684&
I will post some pics of the bike here with the new stuff.
