How I prepped my WR250R for a trip to Moab UT
This video is about how I prepared my Yamaha WR250R dual sport for a recent trip to Moab, UT. I am from the East coast where we have nothing but sand and pine trees. My goal was to avoid the most common problems the rocky terrain could cause that would take from the riding time I traveled so far to enjoy.

Bailed at the final cliff climb. I did not want to attempt it on a 300lb Dual Sport bike with a full 2 gallon rotopax on the rear rack.

Shafer Road to White Rim Trail - Canyonlands National Park
มุมมอง 4718 ปีที่แล้ว
Riding up Shafer Trail from Potash Road to the Islands in the Sky Visitor Center to get a permit to ride the White Rim. This was my first ride ever on any type of elevated switchbacks. I took a little getting used to as the ground where I live is flat, a mountain is 120 ft max above sea level. I am sure you can sense my initial anxiety !

NJMP Field of Dreams MX National Track - a few laps
มุมมอง 5K9 ปีที่แล้ว
Some laps on the New Jersey Motorsport Park's Field of Dreams MX National Track. I am an out of shape Vet class rider checking out the track for the first time. Track was in great condition, you can ride immediately after watering and no slop. Haven't ridden mx much more than a few times in the past 5 years so sorry 5 laps max for footage.. Thumbs up great job NJMP !

A trip up the fire tower at Apple Pie Hill in South Jeresey. Sorry the camera got in the way at the top, but the camera is rolling for the climb down so just wait through the blocked lens for a minute or two.

I found this video I purchased in 1986 on Beta tape ! For those of you that remember Donny Schmidt, Billy Liles, Eddy Warren, JoJo Keller and Raceway Park legends Mickey Kessler and Mark Lachowicz this vid is for you. I know there were plenty more names to mention but I cant remember, that was 27 years ago. Hey, and when is last time you saw an OPEN 500cc 2 stroke moto ? Brings back memories of...

WR250R 0- top speed of about 80. Don't look at the GPS it's got a huge lag. You can see the speedo, barely. 0-60 is about ~ 6 seconds. Not bad for a 300lb 250cc Dual Sport. Stock except for a 47 tooth rear sprocket, a speedo healer for gearing calibration and an FMF Power Core silencer. So if you are wondering, there you have it.

November 19th 2011, Atco MX track rented in the memory of our good friend Mike DeMarzio #212. This video was taken with a Drift170 helmet cam mounted on the handlebars of my CRF250R. Laps in Mike's memory, RIP.
Great track. Enjoyed racing there. Had some good days and done bad days but loved it all just the same.
Great video still, 7 years later !!!
Do you swap kickstands everytime you swap between supermoto and dirt wheelsets?
Yes, it keeps the lean at the right angle. There have been times I left the shorter stand on with dirt wheels but I didn't like it.
Thank you, after the changes, according to the reduction of the front of the bike compared to the rear, did the handling of the bike not get affected
Yes, leaving suspension setup untouched the front is lower compared to rear, steering is quicker with sm setup.
Front weel need more bigger brake disks and extension for calipers
PLastic is better than metal IMO. I had an acerbis one. Very durable
Do they ship to Canada?
Good video. Thank you for sharing. What year is your bike.
It's a 2008. It's got around 26,000+ miles on it by now.
@@tweakmaster32 nice video. I will try to find your other videos. I just picked up a 2020 that has 2700 miles on it. Really haven’t ridden it yet.
Do you know if I Would be able to do the same with the wr125r
The quality plastic skid plates are actually superior, especially in hard hits.
Great video! Thank You. What gear ratio do you use? Front sprocket tooth/Rear sprocket tooth. Did you use 13/43 or 13/42 for supermoto? Thank you.
Hi Alex, I use 13/43 with the supermoto setup.
Awesome video! I like your skid-plate for the same reason. On my T7 I kept the stock because its there. If ever it gets damaged, I will replace with plastic. Less noise and perfectly sufficient for the kind of riding I do. Some people will spend another fortune on new or 'better' accessories for when, one day, they will travel around the world :)
The volumetric/pressure increase due to temperature is more for gas than fluid. So; ensure the rotopack is full to the brim, that will limit internal pressure change. Transportation of liquids from boats / helicopters / offshore oil rigs require containers to be full or empty - no vapour space allowed to prevent build-up of pressure. And yes, if the pressure is still high, bleed some pressure from the cap.
Just found this video awesome. Thank you.
JOJO KELLER!!! I use to watch him in the 80's at Waterebrough scrambles in Maine.. He was the best!
YES!! I agree I went from 1978 until 1982 when joined Air Force and his battles with Meenen were awesome at Waterboro !!
Great video! I’m interested in knowing if once the fork guards / brake cable mod is done for the super moto tires if they need to be removed/ replaced with the stock guards should I wish to go back to the dirt tires for a weekend trip?
You can use the supermoto guards with the dirt tires too, no need to swap them back.
@@tweakmaster32 awesome, anything else besides swapping the tires over to convert back to dirt?
@@DavesSmallEngines the kickstand if you also bought the shorter one and as long as you are using the same size sprockets you can leave the chain alone. If you are using a speedohealer switch to the other setting and calibrate for the smaller tires. I have setting A for dirt, setting B for SM tires
@@tweakmaster32 perfect. Thanks for your time!
I want to like this video but I don’t want to be the 666th “like” lmao
I totally understand haha !
Its nice to see if you took a video during your trip adventure with your wr250
Great video! Where did you get that plastic that covers the exhaust?
hi, they are made by a company called zero-g. Wheeling cycle supply in WV used to import them from Japan but no more. I don't think you can get them any longer.
I'm getting a wr250r from a friend next week, so I'm blessed to benefit from your experience, thank you for sharing
Where did you get your side plastic that covers the pipe? 😳😍
I got them at Wheeling Cycle Supply in West Virginia. they were importing them from Japan at the time but I don't think they carry them any longer. The company name of the side panels is Zero G.
Thank you for the video! Fellow Jersey rider here, just ordered my supermpto wheel set, thanks a lot for posting this!
Where you bought the wheels?
Wow
Just did this section yesterday and it was way more washed out. There are crazy big rocks up and down it now. Much more challenging now. 10/28/2020
Same thing happened to me with the Rotopax. I had to open the cap a little and spill gas on the trail but it was only a little bit and then that let enough pressure out to let me turn the handle.
Is the front tire direction backward?
Great video!
And again and again and again and again and again......Is there an echo in there lmmfao
Try mountain biking up it!
ooh man, you can say that again. I'd never make it.
Short and sweet , nice 👍👍
Hi do know where the fork guard for wr250x
any Yamaha parts dealer. Fork Guards Yamaha OEM for 2011 model year and prior WR250X left side OEM pn# 3D7-2315H-00-00 (Fork) PROTECTOR 1 right side OEM pn# 3D7-2315J-00-00 (Fork) PROTECTOR 2
Great video 💪🏻🔥🔥🔥
Awesome video!!! Thank you so much. You explained so clearly at the perfect pace, and had great camera work and lighting. I now feel confident to do this to my WR because of your video. Thanks Legend.
why you use new wheel and disc brakes , why not tyres only ?
Doing my due diligence in looking for tire size you went with. Are you using a 140 or 150 rear. If 150/60/17 any issues with chain rub etc. Thx great vid 🤘🏼
sorry for the delayed response. Tire size on the rear is 160\60-17. There is no chain rub until the chain is very worn and side to side play is excessive. I would say its a non-issue.
typo.... 150\60-17
Hey gr8 vid ..but I need a kick stand you want to sell ur old one
Impressive solo run, no fun to drop on a slim trail all alone ... You on a stock ride height bike, stock seat and stock gearing ? Ride on.
yep everything was stock except the rear shock of the wr250r was revalved so it actually had compression and rebound dampening. and Yes I was a little spooked riding solo but had to do it !
I like your setup. Excellent information explanation. I’m looking at the wr 250r & Xr650l.
Thanks for posting this. Going there (Canyonlands) next spring, plan on doing the White Rim Trail. I mos def would not want to go down this section so clockwise it is!! Did you split it up into two days? Where'd you camp?
hi Al, I did not camp, I did the white rim trail starting at Potash road and finishing at Mineral Canyon in about 6 or 7 hours. I stayed in a comfy warm room in Moab at night.
hi can you please send me the link to buy the bicycle pump..thank you

How much beer would you recommend? Great vid, cheers.
Minimum of 2 is what I recommend for the job start to finish. Haha !
Thanks TM, I learnt a lot watching your video, you're a good teacher, very clear instructions. I'm about to buy a new 250R but never thought of converting it like that. Now I'm thinking it'd be a great idea - save my knobbies for when I do long trips.
I was there,Donnie rode better than anyone in the 250 class,mickey looked awesome as usual,really cool video,thanks for posting
good ol days I miss that track!!
How on Earth you never got lost? I would have got lost in the 1st 20 minutes run out of water and perish.
I remember this event! My dad was a KAWI dealer in Oregon and we were 100% into moto. we never ventured further east than Wala Wala Washington but we raced everything in Oregon and Washington during the mid to late 1980’s. Great times! I was a big Jo Jo Keller fan.
Yo Yo Keller! NESC
Did you go where the Jeeps do rock climbing?
Looks really good like that
Great vid, very clear and interresting other swaps ideas 👍 Best supermoto wheels swap out there. Interesting you fit break clamp with cable going inside the fork, I watch others move cable to the outside. I suppose new fork gards do the trick, excellent idea! Q?: Did you have your front suspensions and rear shock upgraded ? Thank you and great job 👍
