1 Dream, 1 Random Thought
 
1 Dream
1 Random thought
2 WR250R's
2 months Japan
1 month Russia
3 weeks Mongolia
11500kms
1 fork - do we stay and look for jobs or do we keep riding (Altay Republic, Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Turkey or Pakistan-India)?

I like the idea of the WR250Rs and am curious how they work out.

haha, so am I in a way...we have so much stuff I think we are making those little engines work hard. But I really love the fact they are small and handle off-road well. We bought them new in Japan, added an fmf q4 exhaust, megabomb header and a few other accessories, really didnt have enough time to run them in properly before we loaded them up for our adventure. Will update this post on any new developments...

Generator Burned Out
 
Oh no, 18000kms and first sign of trouble - burned out generator in Novosibirsk, Altay region, Russia. 30-days for one to come from Japan, 7-8 days for one to be rewired. Gives us 6 days to get to Kazakhstan.

So on that bike we were only running a tourmaster heated vest - i think 45 watts max? Does anyone know if this would overload the generator?

In a word.....NO !
WR250 makes 350 - 400 watts.
In my research though, I did find out from Yamaha how many watts all the household appliances use :rofl:

Enjoy your trip!

Sounds to me like an "small" breakdown who can happen with every bike or car. ;)

250's are great for adventure riding!! They're so light and nimble with enough power to tackle anything a big bike can.
I'm riding a TTR250 from Aussie to Europe but heading to Kyrgyzstan to store it for the winter, In india at the moment.
