    Just a note. It isn't HP that gets your front wheel off the ground. That would be torque. Once torque gets you moving HP becomes more relevant as you gain speed. HP is what allows you to keep up with traffic on the freeway. Torque is what gives you the grunt to hop over logs and rocks.

    Nice overview : ) the exhaust piece is more like 7oz though... Those mechanical mods probably add 1-2 hp at the most. Keep in mind the Athena 290 bore only adds 7-8hp at the rear wheel. The "doubled" hp claim was a bit lofty and may or may not be misleading to a lot of potential WR owners..

    I love the Dunlop D606s. Could not be happier with them either. They hookup great and don't wear too bad even on the highway plus you can lean it way over in the corners on the street. Normally not a huge Dunlop fan either... never tried the Mitases

    One more quick tip for ya mate on the water pump hose I cut and cable tie an old hand grip around it for a bit more protection for the hose

    I just got a mint 07 WR 450 , bought it to have a heavy practice bike while I race the YZ125 and YZ250 . I have to say this WR corners better than the YZ ... The Cornering is Amazing . I dont really feel the weight until I have to correct or dab ... I wouldnt race it b/c of the weight but it is definitely a 100% off road capable bike that Corners fantastic ! The WR is the only 4 stroke ive ever liked and i've rode many. btw, I have an m59 and 404 on it , not plated either

    @noah44444 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    It depends on your elevation. Normally if you increase the air you also need to increase the fuel to keep your air/fuel mix correct so the bikes doesn't run too lean. That's what the fuel injection programmer is for... adding more fuel.

    I don't want to sound too harsh. I've had mine for two seasons and it has never left me stranded (except for a flat tire) The 6 speed trans is a big benefit for gravel roads. It is an issue with all dual sports. The more riding you do, the more skilled you get. Then you just outgrow the bike.

    If you want a tire that will corner a little better offroad but still last on the street try the Michelin AC10, had one on my old street legal yz250 and now on my wr250f.

  • @michaelcianci7944
    @michaelcianci7944 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Nicholas King i doubt it. I've had my 02 wr250 for about 9 years now and it barely ever needs a thing these bikes are tanks. the only thing i've had to do it replace spark plugs, clean the air filter (obviously) and clean the carb after long sits. this one not having a carb (i believe its fuel injected but he doesn't have the year listed) probably makes it even more bullet proof

    Comfortable cruising speed is between 75MPH and 85MPH. I have some helmet camera videos posted that show the speedometer.

  • @jkulysses
    @jkulysses 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video!! I've been researching all the dual sports and I think this is the bike for me with the same mods you have done. Can it comfortably cruise down the highway at 65mph??

  • @Praetor353
    @Praetor353 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    great vid mate very helpful. picking one up in 2-3 months, have you had the d606's on there for a while? how well do those knobs hold up to extended street use?

  • @antonmaclean8418
    @antonmaclean8418 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I heard you should not drop the front sprocket teeth because the chain will rub against the swingarm, maybe just add teeth to rear sprocket

  • @MrDrWaldo
    @MrDrWaldo 11 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    you need a turbo for TWICE THE POWER mate, that probably increases it 10 or so hp

  • @noah44444
    @noah44444 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't even shift into 6th gear until like 70 MPH on my WR250R.
    Agreed with CaptTurbo, she will cruise at 65 MPH all day long.

    Hey I'm considering selling my TW200 and getting a WR but I was wondering if maintenance is as DIY friendly on the WR as my TW is. I love being able to do my own maintenance whenever possible. Great vid and tips on the best mods.

  • @AccidentalBroadcast
    @AccidentalBroadcast 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    The best mod for the bike is the Athena 290cc big bore cylinder kit by far : )

  • @davk003
    @davk003 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Should do suspension mods first. Will make your bike much faster. Also, Id pick up a new case saver that doesn't just build up with dirt like the stock. Cant wait till I get around to getting that whale tail off my wr. Got a bit of other mods before that since its more cosmetic that anything. Think Im going to go with the edge as well.

  • @taraskompaniyets1039

    you could just block of the vac hose with a screw to keep the flapper open if you didn't want to remove it.

  • @noah44444

  • @fredreyes8345
    @fredreyes8345 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is this a joke? Exup servo weighs maybe .5 lbs. not 5-7. The gentleman maybe exaggerating the gains here.

  • @phantomshtter
    @phantomshtter 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the info, I'm feeling more and more like there is really no such thing as a "dual sport", best you can get is 50% of both sides. I need two different bikes is what I need.

  • @NickKingThe1st

  • @jamesramsey10
    @jamesramsey10 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You definitely did not double your HP by adding a pipe, fuel tuner and airbox mod, I imagine several people have already mentioned this but I couldn't help but point it out. Stock HP is around 30, you probably added 3-4, if that, might be only 2.....

  • @morphius747
    @morphius747 ปีที่แล้ว

    SO hows that 12 tooth sprocket going? Heard thata 12 tooth can eat the swing arm as well as stock. did you eventually go to 14 tooth sprocket? whats your rear sprocket size?

  • @JohnDevin2011

  • @c0la2k7
    @c0la2k7 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Mrpeejer
    Going to buy the same bike just soon, and thinking on doing the same modification you have done, only question, do i need that Servo sub you got? or can i just have the same thats allready on?

    • @michaelcianci7944
      @michaelcianci7944 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      if you leave the stock servo system for the exhaust you should be fine it just represents about 2% of the bikes weight at 7 pounds so it make sense to remove it. also makes for a cleaner look and makes it easier to work on the bike

    • @c0la2k7

    Do you get noise with the flatland skid plate?
    That problem has been mentioned more than a few times in reviews and forums.
    I think it is caused by the motor vibrating against the plate at certain rpms. I guess the problem would be similar on trail or street riding. I am trying to decide on which skid plate to get. The Moose skid plate made of a plastic type resin is said to not have that problem, but I have to wonder if it provides as much protection as aluminum.

    • @Thecowboy69997
      @Thecowboy69997 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      You could put a piece of pipe insulation type foam or some kinda high heat foam between the skid plate and engine, and that would most likely help that problem.

    • @3GSPsMT
      @3GSPsMT 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      gbtayc . I have a flatlands skid plate on mine and had the same issue, big noise blowing back on you. Took it to the local body shop and had them spray the inside (side closest to the motor) with spray-on bedliner. Took all the noise away.

  • @dougbrook6223
    @dougbrook6223 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I like the mods, but that smaller sprocket on the front is a bad idea. Chain will hit swing arm if you do some serious offroad shit. Go up one in front, and then gear it how you want it with the rear. I'm not just talking shit here, I've owned 2 of these bikes.

    • @tommannix199
      @tommannix199 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed. I went to 14/50 in the sprockets. Heaps better and won't chew swing arms

  • @wishdrftr
    @wishdrftr 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I really wish they made a larger displacement version of these bikes. The dr650's and xr650's are ugly as sin. I would love a wr250r, klx250s, or even crf250l with a 450cc motor. Ktm 500 exc is like the only attractive large displacement option but they want $10k for them!!!

    • @michaelcianci7944
      @michaelcianci7944 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      they sold wr450F's for a while i think they still do. its just the matter of doing a street conversion at that point

    • @wishdrftr
      @wishdrftr 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      michael cianci They do still make the wr450f but doing the street conversion is allowed in all states. A 50 state legal 450 would be the shizz!

    • @michaelcianci7944

      Turbo charge it then you will have the power of a big bore.

    • @wishdrftr
      @wishdrftr 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nick Wayerski small bore engine turbos aren't very easy to tune. Let alone are they very efficient for the space and weight they use. Slapping in a 450cc would be a million times more productive.

  • @sethdog1000
    @sethdog1000 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    The Wr250r has a weak spot, the chain eating through the rubber chain guides and into the swingarm at the front sprocket. Advrider has sick pics of this. A smaller front sprocket allegedly makes this problem worse.

    • @CycleCruza
      @CycleCruza 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +sethdog1000 Happens when you go with smaller front sprocket than 13T stock.

    • @whoisanthony

      go study gearing

    • @TheMarco1492
      @TheMarco1492 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      whoisanthony smaller gear means harder to rotate so is meant for higher speed not acceleration, you go study gearing

    • @whoisanthony
      @whoisanthony 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Marc-Antoine Lévesque Go use google and common sense, a smaller front sprocket increases acceleration, decreases top speed.

    • @whoisanthony
      @whoisanthony 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      From another post...
      Adding a tooth to the front does the opposite that adding a tooth to the back does.
      Larger sprocket at the front would decrease acceleration and increase top speed.
      Smaller sprocket at the front would increase acceleration and decrease top speed.
      Larger sprocket at the back would increase acceleration and decrease top speed.
      Smaller sprocket at the back would decrease acceleration and increase top speed.
      Take the front sprocket and divide it into the rear and that will give you the "gear" ratio. 35 / 10 = 3.5 The front sprocket turns 3.5 times every time the back turns once. Change the back sprocket to 40 and you get 4 to 1. For more acceleration you need a higher number. For more top speed lower.

  • @Uncle5cary
    @Uncle5cary 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Unless you must have a street legal bike, get a wr250f. The wr250r is ok for casual trail riding, but it is gutless, heavy and the suspension is a joke compared to a true offroad bike.
