    Anyone else have a front fender that rubs the frame? Any fixes? You would think a new bike would not come from the factory like that

    I added a newer style YZ250F fender to my '08 WR250 and it rubbed. I took a medium sized bath towel and rolled it up tight and wedged it between the fender and the frame. I then took a 'heat gun' and applied a some heat to the upper inside of the fender. I hit it 2-3 times over a few days and now I have about 1/2" gap. You may be able to heat it up with a hair dryer but the heat gun is the trick... Good Luck.

    I did the heat gun treatment last year.... it was rubbing again the end of the year. Yesterday I removed the bottom 1.5 inches off the fender where it was rubbing

    in the past, i've used a washer on the back two mounts only to move the fender away from the frame a little. worked great.
