Holy moly.. you should see my wr250r 😂

Moved years ago 🎉

You don't use a drill and a extractor tool you had it

Just got a new-to-me WR. Dropped it a couple times and when attempting to pick it up I thought.... Jeeez, this thing is heavy. I had been hearing how light the bike was. When trying to pick it up, it doesn't feel so light. In fact, I struggled. I'm a fairly big guy and had the same question you apparently had. Exactly how much weight am I picking up? Also, if the bike falls and it is as a slight incline... like on an uphill ride, it is even heavier. I searched You Tube to see if I could find someone who had the same question and a solution on how to pick these things up. If you know anyone who has a good vid on HOW to pick these up, reply in comment. By the way, Great Video.

Very Helpful. Thank you

Frickin funny commentary and message was perfect - thanks!

You sound a little depressed, are you ok?

anyone know if that rear mount works when you hacve a lowering link on your bike?

why wouldn't you just taker off the plastic side plate - to show better video - be able to see what you are doing - it only takes 10 seconds?

Guy doesn’t know a bolt from a screw god dam. Those are bolts just fyi

Great job I think I might try this out on mine

yamalink direct is less expensive and ships faster than ordering through amazon

Rad. Thanks for putting this video together.

I did the same thing on my Honda crf250r and it’s a long bolt that Holden’s the 2 cases together and it snapped off all the way in the back and now leaks a ton of oil between cases

What do you use more often? wr250r or Wr250x?

Well done!!

Is this plate still worth a damn?

jamma lives. you hitting hodges this year?

What kit did u buy off Amazon ?

Here’s how you can easily gain 6+ inches for free without a lowering link. 1. The suspension under your own body weight should drop 2 inches. 2. You can install a lowered seat or shave down the existing seat and drop the seat height up to 3 inches. 3. Wearing mx/enduro shoes will also give you 1+ inches of extra height. It’s important to note that I would never advise riding any bike without setting up the suspension sag for your body weight properly, because without proper suspension sag your suspension will barely work, which could result in getting yeeted off your bike.

From what I could see, I think your suspension is way too stiff for your body weight. Your suspension sag should be at least a good 2 inches. You dropped the height maybe 1 inch when sitting on it.

Nice video, doing all this preparation on WR decreases the tip over or crash rate. Good job.

Ah thank you know I know how to find you… hope your registration is up to date, see you soon.

Iam glad I saw this video I want a wr 250 r, but iam almost 5 5 & inseam 30 inches and 130 pounds. Iam use to riding 125 mx & yz 2 strokes, but wanted a dual sport and did not want xt or tw 250 to be my only choice. I noticed people cry if they can not touch their feet flat these days on the ground from their bike & that is selling point of xt 250 ?? Dumb, as touching your feet flat is not necessary. When I rode my 125s & I needed to touch the ground it was with my toes but WR looks taller then mx or yz 125s. But not all 4 strokes are created equal & the suspension on xt or tw 250 doesn't look heavy duty like WR 250 r. Thank you for sharing as height does not matter its confidence & skill which you have plenty of great demonstration.😊

Thanks a lot for sharing your video, help me a lot. So nice of you. Thanks (Portugal)

I wish more channels would fast fwd!

So how much can you drop rhe suspension by the adjustment? Also how much do you weigh?

Is there a video on you shaving the seat??

Curious is the sweet intro music part of a larger song?

Your motorcycle seat is extremely ugly...like a hollowed out camel🤣🤣

I can deal with the weather here ...but the people are RUDE and have NO manners ....

Hopefully by now you have realized the rebound damping is opposite of what you think.. softest means rebounds really fast hard means rebounds slow..I have the rear rebound on my wr250r set at 5clicks out and it's perfect for me and doesn't buck like everyone says

Went with 13 46 Mox rear. The gearing is lower than what I expected but it works very well on back roads. The Mox is nice to have, no more harshness. Next time I will probaby try a 45 rear so I can still go on the motorway.

Why no performance mods?! Because it runs so damn good stock! But if a few more hp is what your looking for then it will get there easily with a few mods. Setting up the suspension for YOU and your riding is most important then a bigger rear sprocket & some good tires for your riding style

I think washer plus screw is stronger than a countersunk fastener.

I installed one yesterday now I can get both feet flat. Wasn’t to hard we only loosened the kickstand.

Are you still riding?

I fucking hate it here man

Very practical and encouraging presentation.

Quick question super random but were you in the military? i've watched several of your videos and you're very organized, well detailed, and the right amount of information.

Did you ever notice your brake light coming on just by touching the brake lever? Mine does

I'm 5'6" and lowered the stock setup and then put in a 1.5" lowering link and scooted the forks up about 1" as well. That helped a lot. I see this video is 5 years old, so I'm probably typing this for nothing. Ok then ....

Roller skates will give you another 3" per foot, so that might help. Just kidding of course. I put a 1.5" lowering link in the rear, raised the forks up to the handlebars (after setting the adjustment on them first of course) and backed the front and rear preload off 100% I'm 5.6 / 30" inseam and 140# ... that's what worked for me.

5'6er here and put a 2" lowering link in the rear, raised the forks in the front about 1.5" reduced the preload and could get the balls of my feet down both sides. It was good. The only prob was pulling into parking on a down slope... I'd have to just walk the bike back and around to get it going again. Great bike! I loved it.

You are beefy shorter guy, that helps too 😂

Od 2008 nisam menjao nije za pohvalu ali tako je sada 2023 cu je napokon zameniti....!!!!,hvala na videu 👍🏻

I’m new to your channel,I hope to see more videos with the wr 250 excellent channel 👍

Hmmm wonder how they'll feel about the clutch lever I just cut down and sanded to be perfectly two fingers wide lmao

Dude,you have a awesome channel

i don't get the point- so what effort did you made lowering 1,5 inch? - in my understanding, thats nothing- you can't even put your feet lully on the ground?? and by doing this you destroy bikes geometry
