Thanks for the audio. I just fully rebuilt one of these and wasnt sure if i did it right but it rips the same and sounds the same so now im pretty confident. Its my first time really rebuilding a dirt bike.
wr450s got lots of power brother I've only been on my bike three times. rode in a sand two times out in Nevada where I live mountain BLM land. hard to ride in the sand but if you can ride in the sand you can ride anywhere great terrain out here. rip it brother
@@ronaguilar7342 thry certainly do! Im not sure what mine has done to it but its comparable to another 04 ive ridden that had all free and yzf stuff done. It was a animal thats for sure. I've never tried sand but i can imagine its not the easiest thing to do haha. Stay thumping! 💯🤙
I just did the O-ring mod and took the slop out of the cam to plunger. Also made sure the fuel screw was set to factory on my 07 WR 450. What a HUGE improvement! Such a beast man. I’m super happy I picked that bike up this season. I know the feeling you’re having!
I just upgraded from a DRZ400 to a 2009 WR450F. Loooving the weight savings! 20kgs (45lbs) makes a HUGE difference in handling as well as breaking. Also has more power than the DRZ making for fantastic weight-to-power ratio. Gonna do the mods next!
I ride a 05 WR, same upgrades plus a few smaller ones such as bars and pro circuit exhaust. This thing rips, way more scary and powerful than other 450's. would highly recommend for track/ dual sport and enduro 450 riders!
Hi Rado! I just wanted to give you a tip to be faster and to get less tired. The tip is that you DONT need to use the clutch to shift, the only purpose of the clutch in dirt bikes is to control the power, not to shift. DIRT BIKES ARE MADE TO BE SHIFTED WITHOUT CLUTCH. I learned that from a pro racer. So I think you should try it. It makes you faster and your hands get less tired. Hope you use this trick!
thanks for the tip Philippe. Sometimes I shift without it when I need to shift fast, specially when downshifting. Majority of the times I pull the clutch in just a bit, one finger all the time.. most clutch use is to control the bike in the turns and up-down hills.. I also got the tip from pro racer, Sebastian Tortelli, maybe you know him, he is french guy. He said to use it lightly when shifting.. My opinion is that its safer to use it a bit when you shift in high rmp, in low rpm its fine to skip it. Thats how I do it, might not be the greatest way but so far worked for me fine. Thanks again for contribution man!
@@dirtniron I just watched your m8 win old race at budscreek 2002 I think , just in front of the Tim Ferry on the YZ426F 😏 no doubt with these mods 😉 did you keep it ??
Im a amateur rider. But i love to do it. I was a ktm 530 Guy untill i sold it. Got a Very good deal on a 2004 wr450f enduro including supermoto wheels. Because of your video’s i felt ok with buying it and love it so far. Did al the work myself and did al your mods. Going to ride supermoto until fall comes. Thank you for your help and clear explanations about All the work. Keep it Up! Greetings from Amsterdam 😎
cool man, I am glad it helps and you were able to do all the mods at home, thats exactly what I was hoping those videos can do ;) thanks for sharing! enjoy your WR!
Keep it , I have the same bike (04 WR 450) grey wire mod, spark arrestor removed. I enjoy riding it, it's a good compliment for my intermediate skills.
2007 is the best WRF guy's one model before aluminium skeleton lol& it has a mod for better oil run into the engine but you can make your 2005/6 like 2007 but its 2months waiting & 300/350$ cuz you need to send a part 2 Japan. Me I find 2006/20th of December unfortunately, but I'm the second hand & the first owner wasn't a little boy,so he give me everything original:like second plastics, exhaust,back rear foot brake petal Accel & original same petal for gears &,YZF plastics on it, so perfect all new & even the YAMAHA stickers was on after so many years.But 1,5year I was searching& I was 100% lucky for this bike I hope you all find a bike like this one with zero problems so far 3 years now;)
Took my yz250 out of its long nap of 6 months! Minnesota winter is crazy. More snow fell today... Back in the garage it goes. Luckily snowmobiles are fun.
yea I really enjoy her so far. It feels faster than my rmz, but not as nimble. WR sits bit lower.. I like rmz ergonomics more. I am considering aftermarket pipe for my rmz, cuz on wr it sounds and feels so great..
If I ever do get another bike it will be a wr 450f and carbed so I can mod mine step by step from your channel. Makes it easy when you have an diy for the whole thing. Nice work Rado👍
I know the feeling. I just finished rebuilding my boys suzuki jr 50, including the second gear mod, and now they are ripping around having the time of their lives on it
hey nobody answered your question. Should I keep it? I have a 2009 wr450f and I also don't know if just buy another 2017 wr or a ktm300 2t. In mexico is kinda unsafe in some lonely trails so my 2009 wr seems reliable and also cheap if gets stolen. Any suggestions?
liking all ur vids , I've had my 07 wr450 for over a year now and just learning as to what mods have been done on it. it appears to already have AIS removed, snorkel air box, and aftermarket exhaust . however not completely certain that mods such as grey-wire, O-ring or throttle stop screw have been done. I'd imagine the jetting kit would be installed due to the aftermarket exhaust it has. guy I bought from said previous owner did "some" work on it. it runs good currently but aside from dismantling it how can I tell ? ps; not trying to give away ur location but I live in San Diego , are you North of SD ? ( looks very familiar. lastly: someone mention a YZ exhaust cam mod' have you looked into this yet ? thx and appreciate you bro
you can know about throttle stop by the movement you have on your throttle. compare it to some other bikes, or check my video it shows throttle opening with small throttle stop. As for the oring, you need to open it to see. I know for AF bikes you need to remove the shock to get to the carburetor.. I live in temecula are, you know the area well ;)
Rado' I did see ur video and mine does appear to have an equal amount of throttle range to yours, also forgot to mention that I did install a quick-turn throttle tube from G2 a few weeks ago which also helped. I'll check if grey wire was disconnected ( that should be a definite clue as to whether throttle stop screw was changed ) hopefully . good to know we are neighbors :)
Have you done the o ring mod on the accelerator pupm yet? It gets rid of the big when you 1st crack the throttle. So far on my 06 wr450 I have done: O ring mod Air box mods Grey wire mod Stage 1 hotcams FMF exhaust is back ordered, getting the Megabomb and Powercore. Then the jet kit with adjustable needle. If I like the Megabomb then I will order it for my 08 YZ450.
yes I did oring mod plus all the free mods and I had free flowing exhaust on. Only thing I didnt do was the cam. Bike runs great, love it. Looks like you are getting a fire breathing machine too! ;)
Dirt N Iron it's getting there. Easiest starting 450 around, I can kick it over by hand. Not many 450's out there can be started by hand. True test of the latest mods will be the GP race this weekend
Happy motor is the way to go :P Some fast riding indeed Rado haha, you're not afraid that some 4X4 will appear from the front? BTW - The sound is not that good for some reason
I am little afraid, so far I could react fast enough to avoid it. I need to get better mic I think, my external mic in helmet is probably causing that. Any suggestion for good gopro external mic?
Two daughters and one son ;) I always pray to come back home safely. I think camera makes it look faster, I still have time to react, like that white pick up truck in the beginning. But sometimes I get little too excited I guess.. thanks for your concerns Nir, I will keep it in mind. I have hero3 black with boya external mic, works ok but sometimes when engine revs high it doesnt record well..
So much more so 3 kids :P Me too, praying is good man. The mic seems to cut some of the sound once it's starting to peak. The Sony I sent you has some great reviews and the price is ok. Check this out Rado: th-cam.com/video/JMQnR1A9CYA/w-d-xo.html - Iphone's 5 Apple Earphone clear sound even with loud exhaust. The setup is like that: Apple Mic > Rode SC3 > GoPro 3.5mm adapter > GoPro
Dirt N Iron we have things called byways and green lanes. Trail riding in the uk gets bad press from time to time from a minority bad riders. And the walkers use the same trails so speed has to be kept down really low.
If it would be me I would do the switch, just out of curiosity. You are also getting EFi, hydraulic clutch, and 5 years newer bike. $500 difference is worth to pay for it. At the same time there are die-hard WR fans who would newer do something like that. Take that KTM for spin and see how you like it.
ktm is half bike vs freed mods wr450..and in reliability and that the ktm 500 should be a lot faster but she aint..and more expensive parts that have half life
Headlight switch from the factory is mounted in the crossbar why is yours all over to the left and why is the kill switch not right next to the left hand grip like it is from the factory?.
hello man ,nice video! i have an xt660z tenere 2008.. and i want to ask you if wr450f is capable to travel 180km distance at list,about 2 hours road, straight, with the same speed, like 110km /hour... can the bike handle this travel on asphalt???
@@dirtniron That's cool. I like your videos. I have two 01 YZ426Fs, one 02 YZ250, and one 07 CRF150R right now. I'm thinking of selling them all for a WR450F.
Hi just want to find out what are the best way to fix the tred on the oil supply on the head pipe the treads are stripped if there are a plan for that i got a 2005 wr450 😱
How loose are the links on the timing chain on these this 450? i got my engine open and the links have huge spread, does it matter, cant find anything in the workshop manual.?
There is a little bit of hesitation when the bike runs too lean. I had to play with needle, got richer one and the hesitation disappeared. I guess if you run little bit too rich then cold weather will increase power, but when you are spot on or little bit on lean side then cold weather would cause that lean hesitation.. hope that makes sense.
do the yz cam You won't regret it. It feels like it blew it's nose with the new cam. Just revs and breathes better. Any detuning of a yz450 motor just makes it run worse
Dirt N Iron . Yes Sir, just the exhaust cam. I think the yz 03 to 05 cam are the same. I used a 03. I could tell from the second I started the motor and revved it. Not a day/night thing like the WR to YZ pipe, but enough to know it's going to breath right. I loved my WR power . I hated how heavy that bike felt. Never came to terms with it. I used a Rekluse EAxle to pull the offset in a little. That made a huge difference. But you are out West where that's not what you are needing. I ride east coast trails
thanks man, sounds good. I am so happy how the bike runs right now, it would be interesting to see how much would the cam improve it. appreciate the info!
Dirt N Iron but what if you check the spark plug without adjusting it and it looks good for not too lean and not too rich? Then it just wouldn’t need any adjustments for after mods
The one real down side to FI bikes. Any power mods require a dyno tune and power commander. That and not being able to bump start or kick start on a dead battery. Oh well pros and cons for both I guess.
Xterrential my fi bike can be bump started, or kick started all day long. I don't have a battery, lol. I lost a battery at my job for a 2018 crf250 and it cost $1,090.00 New Zealand for a new battery. ($789.19 usd) i think I would rather kick or bump my bike, than pay out that much money every time something goes wrong with my battery.
sitting wheelie easy,infact time like stone a small bump /hump on the road ,use the front rebound lift and throttle .or tap front brake little to compress front fork and as its rebounding gas lift,all im teaching you use the front suspension,clutchup your a bit lazy but shift your weight front to back clutchup,anyways you will get it practice!
Thanks for the audio. I just fully rebuilt one of these and wasnt sure if i did it right but it rips the same and sounds the same so now im pretty confident. Its my first time really rebuilding a dirt bike.
right on man, enjoy!
Learning wheelies 2fr from a 50,000 ft drop off. Awesome! You do have, helpful videos. Keep em coming brother

Incredible! Hard to keep the front end down haha. If it gets too hot down there come ride NorCal!

wr450 vs crf450 vs ktm525? Which one to get for short commuting and loads of fun?

Hi Dirt n iorn, just want to know what year of wr450 is that and how many kilometres or miles did it have on it? Please and thankyou.
It was 2004, not sure about the milage tho
Sounds like she likes what you’ve done with it. Can’t wait to get out riding again.

no snow, but upper 30 degrees and rain for the next 5 days.

ktm is half bike vs freed mods wr450..and in reliability and that the ktm 500 should be a lot faster but she aint..and more expensive parts that have half life
What year is your WR? What would you consider a good price for a used mid tothousands WR 450?
Mine is 2004. I think steel frame somewhere between 2000-2500

thanks man, sounds good. I am so happy how the bike runs right now, it would be interesting to see how much would the cam improve it. appreciate the info!
Do you recall how much psi you were running on the tires? Any tips would help. :)
around 13.5 psi
@@dirtniron Thank you.
What is the top speed?
I am not sure,. never checked but 90mph should not be a problem
Will it being lean damage the engine?
Lean bike runs hotter than normal, so its easier to overheat the bike. I would not recommend running it lean
Dirt N Iron but what if you check the spark plug without adjusting it and it looks good for not too lean and not too rich? Then it just wouldn’t need any adjustments for after mods
i read the plug but also read the bike, how it runs and sounds, does it backfire, etc..
Dirt N Iron it doesn’t it runs normal and the spark plug looks good too
good video :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Can i do this to wr250f 2002 ?
yes, most of the things
Jetted and air box mods
who's land are you riding on ?
thats public land
your in Cal. ?
yes, Socal
we can own heavy fire power in pa but try to ride your dirtbike on state land and that's a big No No . lol
lot of public land designated for OHV here in Cali, blast to ride.. getting somewhat more difficult due to emission standards
The one real down side to FI bikes. Any power mods require a dyno tune and power commander. That and not being able to bump start or kick start on a dead battery. Oh well pros and cons for both I guess.
some guys still like carburetor more
Mx bikes are fuel injected without a battery
Yes, they have capacitor to store power for fuel infection when starting.. no battery needed
I wish I had that. But I like the fact that I dont have to kickstart the bike all of the time. Again pros and cons. Carbs are fun to work on tho.
Xterrential my fi bike can be bump started, or kick started all day long. I don't have a battery, lol. I lost a battery at my job for a 2018 crf250 and it cost $1,090.00 New Zealand for a new battery. ($789.19 usd) i think I would rather kick or bump my bike, than pay out that much money every time something goes wrong with my battery.
Imagine the dudes faces that sold their wr450's when they see this video🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
:) it runs really great
sitting wheelie easy,infact time like stone a small bump /hump on the road ,use the front rebound lift and throttle .or tap front brake little to compress front fork and as its rebounding gas lift,all im teaching you use the front suspension,clutchup your a bit lazy but shift your weight front to back clutchup,anyways you will get it practice!
I love you
I love you all guys! :)
yep ypu made it happily lean.. can hear the back fires instantly.. a lean bike will run so much better thjan a rich (fat) bike
If you pull a wheelie you always move your body to the front. Try to move it back and almost stretch your arms.
Jannik most importantly though keep that rear brake covered
thanks for the tip bro!
Learn to ride! my grandad would give it more stick than that.
