My Yamaha WR250x 2008 when sat outside in the sun for hours on very hot 30+ degrees days the fuel pump doesn't prime and the bike doesn't start. Once I leave it to cool down the bike starts on the button no issues at all I hear the pump prime. I have been warned this is the start of a bigger problem and the fuel pump will fail all together at some point and is risky to keep using. The WR250x and WR250r are known for failing fuel pumps and apparently have two updated pumps released after the known issues with the original fuel pumps.

I'm in the UK and it seems impossible to find a pump I contacted a local Yamaha parts dealer and they want £597.00.

Options -

1. OEM Fuel pump and housing - £597.00 Yamaha UK.

2. Buy pump only - Quantum, KEMSO, or All Balls and try to put into original housing I understand it could be brittle not easy to do and plastic housing could snap.

3. Replace with the Chinese Fuel pump unsure about that and can't find much information online regarding success.

4. Import new from Japan around £320.00 before shipping and 20% UK taxes and handling fees etc.

5. Buy a Chinese Fuel pump and replace it with a better fuel pump like Quantum if I snap the original housing. Unsure how easy or different that would be and even if it's worth the hassle.

6. Buy used working fuel pump rare to find and seems impossible to ship due to fuel contamination.

Honestly what have people done and honest advice?

Gutted they cancelled the UK tour I've sadly never seen them live and was really looking forward to finally seeing them.

On O2 Website -

"Sorry, this show has been cancelled and there aren't any plans to reschedule. You'll be able to get a full refund from wherever you bought your tickets, and your ticket agent will be in touch to tell you more."

That hurts if they were planning on coming back to the UK they'd reschedule.

Anyone know where to get a black set? I’m change up graphics, pegs etc and the green won’t do.

Does anyone have a PDF for the Japanese PC Engine Chiki Chiki Boys game manual as I'm missing mine. Or point me in the direction to get a good printed version? Or even better if someone has a spare?

Amazing 🔥

After getting burnt with a fake R36S on eBay UK.
