additional costs it may take to
prepare a big Twins machine for
a jump like they have at Peoria.
"I think a lot of people don't
understand that we're on a
whole different level than they
were back in 1970," Mees
said when asked about Peoria
specifically. "I feel we might
look poor out there trying to ride
these Twins the way we ride the
Singles around that place unless
they are prepared right and a lot
of funding goes into them.
"That's the scary thing. We
get it on right now around Peo-
ria. We're launching further and
higher than we ever have. We're
hitting that jump wide open. You
aren't going to see us do that on
Twins unless all of a sudden we
get really crafty and start spend-
ing lots of money. If we're going
to spend lots of money, then
let's see lots of money."

YAMAHA WR250 RECALL
I
f you own a Yamaha WR250X made between
2008 and 2015, or a Yamaha WR250R, give your
local Yamaha dealer a call as your bike might come
under the latest recall issued by Yamaha USA.
In total there are 12,721 bikes that fall under the
recall, which relates to the insulation on the starter
coil. Should the insulation fail, the coil could short-
circuit due to insufficient heat resistance, which in
turn means the battery will not charge, leaving you
with a dead battery and possible stalling issues,
an obvious safety concern.
Yamaha is notifying all affected owners, but if
you think this recall might apply to you, give Ya-
maha a call at 1800-962-7926.
Yamaha is recalling
the WR250X and
WR250R for starter
coil insulation
issues.
