    Hi all

    I ride my WR250 in hare scrambles and don't have any need for the Speedo and headlight and would like to remove them along with the switchgear and associated wiring. Question is; Will this cause any adverse effects to the bike?. I'm sure I have read on here someone had a poor starting problem which was traced to the Speedo?? Unless I dreamed that bit :)

    Anyone stripped theirs of these?

    Many thank

    Myles

    should have no adverse effects on the electrical side as the lighting circuit is separate
    the speedo is just weight if you don't need it
    front number plates are cheap and lighter

    250's still have a cable speedo? If so, unscrew the cable, tape up the cable mount and leave the speedo drive as a spacer?
