Yamaha WR250X makeover

When I bought this bike it had Red Bull graphics on it, I'm not a big fan of Red Bull but it looked better than the standard bike.  Anyway they were starting to look a bit tatty so it was time for a makeover .

The old graphics came off ok after heating them with an airgun and then I found the best way to get rid of the residue was roll it off with my thumb and then used Acetone (my wife's nail polish remover) to clean the panels .  The panels weren't to bad underneath apart from a few scratches which I shaved down with a razor blade so I stuck with them .......

I've never fitted graphics before but after watching some videos I cracked on with it,  Half the panels needed to be removed to get the job done properly but the others i did on the bike.  I'm quite chuffed with it but the right side fairing was hard to get right and I did end up with a few bubbles after too much heat was used . 

Time to get it dirty again now .............  :classic_laugh:
