Theres nothing better than an Enduro Bike...
Works fine for:
- Motocross
- Enduro
- Stuntriding
- Supermoto
- Cruising on the Streets
sounds good Mike, good point!
Lots of vibrations for the street, especially without a cushion drive hub. WR aren't as bad as other enduros, though. 2-strokes are a bit less not that they're easy to find for street these days.
Wr 250r is the best all rounder.
Any modern 450 trail bike will be fun on the track. They all have strong power and adjustable suspension, plus the trail bike chassis are designed to protect the rider from fatigue (soft mounts for engine and handlebars, etc). The wide ratio gearboxes (compared to track bikes) will not be an issue since the powerbands are very broad, plus you won't actually be racing on a trail bike so we are only about having fun. I just bought a very clean used 2016 WR450F and can't wait to get it out there. Thanks for another good video.
cool, you got a really good bike! hope to see you out at the track!
When I used to race and ride tracks, I really enjoyed it when people would get out there and RIP on the enduro bikes. Some would pass me like I was stuck in 2nd gear. Thanks for posting this. 👍
thanks Tim, glad you like it!
Nice keep it smooth im riding the CRF450L and ive be making it more track friendly and its definitely a blast to ride.
Great video! I used to ride the vet track on my wr250f and felt like it did fine. My current bike , 2017 KTM 500excf, is very similar in purpose to that WR 450f. And I've had a blast riding it on that vet track. The only thing better than passing a motocross bike on a bike with a headlight, is passing him with a headlight, blinkers, and a license plate!
Haha, sounds good Todd 😉
I can assure you that if I was on a YZ450F and you were on a WR450F you would still stomp me.
😉
I have a 2019 WR 450F and I do use my WR 450F on my local MX track, recreationally, with no real compromises. Most MX tracks, even my local MX track, still frowns upon on having a headlight and fixed kickstands on their MX tracks. But, I mainly bought my WR for hare scrambles and single tracks. The WR 450F matches my riding style quite well. When buying my new bike, I knew that I wanted a WR 450F or the recently discontinued RMX-450Z. I could of bought a new carry-over RMX-450Z for half the price of the WR 450F, for anyone looking to buy this type of bike.
Why do they have a problem with headlights and kickstands?
sounds good Daniel, thanks for sharing. Good decision getting wr over rmx, I would do the same unless price is really really good
@@wilska8835 I believe the no headlight rule was made back when headlights were still incased in glass, and they didn't want broken glass on the track. And, I was told that people had a fear that kickstands could cause a wreck if it came down during a race. These are archaic MX rules from yesteryears and still in pratice today. It's why all MX bikes don't come with no headlights or a fixed kickstand.
Daniel C So you’re saying MX bikes don’t have lights because of a rule. Don’t think the rule was made to keep play and trail riders from clogging up the stating gates in the 60’s and early 70’s. I’m hoping they scrap the rule ,we need motocross bikes with lights.
David attenborough of motocross. Keep up the videos. Love watching them
Gage BRISENDON 😂😂😂
thanks brother 😉
Hey.. haven’t caught your videos in a while.. NICE to see with the WR.. ! It’s a great machine. Imagine the GYTR ECU and a FMF ! I’ve done it to my 250 and it’s night and day difference on the North American restricted bikes..Loving my 2015 WR250F. The new 2020 FX and WR are the next level up!
thanks bro, yea it should be much better with those mods!
Seems as though it's doing good for not really being a track bike. I would imagine with a little more tuning and all it will turn some heads. Great video!
Thanks Mile, yes it will do better with some mods for sure. We will install gytr mods and report back
yes it can! had my WR450 out at my local track. used heavier weight fork oil in the front, ran 15wt. she didnt like the big 60ft jumps at all. only had it there once. too heavy for the track.
thanks for sharing Jon!
You always put out great videos. Thanks for your effort. My favorite one is where you said as for me and my home we will serve Christ. Keep it up brother!
Amen to that brother! glad that is your favorite, because at the end thats what really matters :)
Another awesome video! That track looks great...I am really jealous! Keep up the great work, my friend!
thanks brother, glad you enjoyed it! yea, its my favorite MX track, pretty much only place I go to ;)
Nice work Rado, most popular selling bike in a Aussie next the the KTM300EXC off road, the 2020 was co developed by a Josh Coppins, multi time MX champ MXGP runner up should have win 2007 on a Yamaha, it is mostly YZF tuned for off road so no surprise it’s does well on the track, you were killing it out there and the competition, good work bro. 🤙
thanks Mav, cool info! Its a really good bike overall
Dirt N Iron No probs bud you mention the GYTR power tuner, here ours have the wifi app as does the 2020 WR250f, do you not get that in the states? If I was to buy a 450f this would be the one.
Yes we have that too, i meant to say gytr ecu, not a tuner
Dirt N Iron Some other useless information too, Ben Townley 2004 World 125cc champion/ now a brand ambassador for Yamaha NZ runs his own tours in NZ, he loves these bikes and has them as his std hire bike.
Ryan Villopoto has one in his garage and loved it too.
I’m sure you know who those guys are esp RV2.
Heard that name before 😉
Great job. Fun watching.
I have a 2014 WR450 street legal that's a blast from one dirt road to another. Have had it on a track a few times and it is a lot of fun but gearing is a little tall.
Yes it is tall. Did you do any mods?
The bike is way more capable than most non professionals will be able to push it. Dirt is dirt. Whether you are riding aggressively on a trail or the track. For us senior members, it is a great bike to consider. Anyone who says different is kidding themselves. We all have dreams of becoming the next big thing, but for 99% of us, we soon find out that it becomes a form of entertainment, not a way of life. This bike rocks that world.
yea, definitely more than enough of everything. I used to have old 2004 wr450, rally capable and versatile bikes
I have a 08 wr 450 and love it
Same, they are an awesome bike!! Bullet proof, mines done 11,800kms on trails and only on one top end, original bottom end 👍👍
@@ollie246810 my wr250f has 20,000 kms on it and original everything in the motor ... one valve adjustment.. freaking insane
@@Jake_Hynds insane alright, I def be getting another wr450 IF 🤣 mine goes pop
@@ollie246810 democrats are scum of the earth
lol my buddies dad use to send a ttr230 on our local track, i couldnt believe how fast that old man was absolutely ridiculous
That looks like a lot of fun, I was going to take my 1993 dr350s around the block but after running for 10 minutes I couldn't start it up again after it was hot, so I went and parked it next to the apartment. Sometimes I swear I just want a brand new motorcycle because I'm so tired old bikes that have trouble
doesnt have to be brand new, but something little newer is good :)
The track looks fun! I need to make a trip down.
yes its really good!
Where is this track
I love my 18 wr on both track and trail, I’m up here in Colorado so I have the best of both worlds
wr and colorado its a very good combination, you are lucky ;)
th-cam.com/video/zlb8ic6ivcg/w-d-xo.html
Watch that video bro it was just a few days ago up here in CO
th-cam.com/video/6pJCZhkk6Zg/w-d-xo.html this is the recovery video
yea, I saw that few days ago. pretty crazy. glad the guy is ok
Got the 2020 WR450F and honestly that's the ultimate bike I'm set 👍
cool man, great bike for sure! did you do all the free mods and GYTR ecu?
Go to any local track. You'll see many bikes out there with headlights doing quite well.
Yes there are some
I am 14 and getting the Wr250f for enduro racing but was wondering if you could take all the lights and gear off it and run just a front plate
I think so, should be possible.. maybe the trip computer might be in the way.. not sure
I agree, like hitting the local mx track even though I'm an offroad guy. Hell, when I was 16 I only rode on mx tracks and had a 02 xr250. Ignorance is bliss 😆
:)
Really an awesome bike that you can ride on the street! I'll tell my sons to get one.
they better listen to their dad! ;)
Yeah take dad's word for it , I got a 2003 wr 450 it's an awesome machine you can ride it fast and you can ride it slow and there good on the road .
i ride the exact same bike and i struggle so much with keeping the front end up when jumping, every jump i do, my front end drops heavily. how can i stop this ?
My RMX450Z is not to bad on the mx track but the suspension don't like the big jumping 🤣😂🤣
yes, same here.. as long as you land where you should its all good, but casing jumps or going too long is not for this bike
I converted my wr for the track. The reason is I sometimes ride open and they want a green sticker here in California
cool! what did you do exactly ?
@@dirtniron the first thing I did was remove all the wr stuff making the same as the yz. My bike is a 2015 wr250f. I went with the 250 because I feel it will improve my race speed and keep me from being lazy like I would be on a 450. I obviously changed the ecu and maps along with any emissions. So the airbox was plugged up with the mission stuff, the throttle stop removed, the exhaust was insanely restricted, I didn't want to spend $1000 for a exhaust, so I actually gutted it myself and I had to make a little modification. The biggest problem is the gearing 1st and 2nd little bit too much Gap to 3rd. So far I haven't been able to get the gearing where I want it, but I think I can get it right still without messing with the transmission. I don't think people would have this issue with the 450, but the 250 just doesn't have the power to pull 3rd and 1st and 2nd are seriously too low. Not positive which direction to go I can either go way higher on the gearing to make 1st and 2nd usable or go way lower to use only 3rd gear and higher.i would Love to hear some opinions on which direction to go with the gearing.
So basically the 250 is taking a bit to get right for Motocross, it's definitely good but to be at the same level as the yz is work. I don't think the 450 will be any problem converting into the Motocross bike
Mike Raskin have you changed the rear sprocket from a 50T to 51T ? That’s the slight difference from the FX.
@@kiwi-moto No I hadn't figured out what direction I was going to go with the gearing yet. So thanks for the input I will start with that gearing then, because I hadn't any direction before.
@@mikeraskin7319 have you considered swapping out the yzf engine/trans for a yz?
hello, great video. I just bought a 2022 wrf 450 to do enduro and motocross.. I was afraid of not knowing how to go in motocross but you just answered my question. could you give me the settings you had in shock absorber and fork compression.. 😁
hi, I rode it completely stock on the track. Play with it to find your best settings
thanks bro definitely getting WR
Have fun Anthony!
@@dirtniron bought one today
I would love to you see you on a 2007 YZ450F, and test it in enduro type riding and on the track. I mentioned this bike a while ago when I first got it. I fell in love with it, but I would hear your opinion as well as your community’s opinion. Thank you Dirt N Iron for taking the time to read my comment. Cheers from Idaho!!
yz450f is a lot of bike, even this wr is a beast.. I would ride one if I get a chance, but I already know its too much for me
I completely understand; it’s a very intimidating and powerful bike.
Hey I would love if you did a review on the fe 501s/ 500 exc-f, both on the street and track !
I would love to. let me see what can be done
It looks like the you AND the WR are more than capable. Nice riding. As long as you don't case the jumps, or overshoot the jumps, it should work just fine.
thanks brother, yea.. not casing helps ;)
Dirt N Iron what’s “casing” mean"?
Casing is basically coming short on a jump.
@@kiwi-moto Casing a jump means to come up short and landing on the backside of the landing.When you truly "case" the jump, you come up short and land on the backside of the landing, and the frame and where the crankCASE sits usually smacks the dirt from your suspension completely compressing. But it's come to mean landing short of where you ideally wanted.
If only we had tracks like this in the UK
yea, we are spoiled over here in California :)
the modern WR is basically just YZ with road legal lights.
Nice bike WR450 can do as YZ 450.
Hey Brother this is Fro!
Hey I sent you I think two messages I think in email form? But they kicked back or something??? So I couldn’t find any video’s with bigger wheels on smaller bikes? I’m not sure if they just don’t fit &
Found enduro bike suspension soaks the jump up, can’t ping off the top to clear bigger jumps and when you do land it pancakes. Just my opinion.
Yes it makes sense, i went little bit stiffer on the clickers and it did ok.. but mx bike would feel better for sure
More than enough motor and suspension for a vet track. Just got to go fast enough to downside all the landings.
Yes, then its very smooth
I wanna see you on the track in the 04!!
2004 is long gone... but would do ok on the track
Hi, Is it possible to install a cross front plate while keeping the odometer? (on this model)
Yea
Is the 2021 WR450F green sticker in CA? I just put a deposit on a 2022 YZ250X but my dealer just told me because of the new CARB law for 2022 models, if it's not green sticker off the showroom floor then it'll be confined to track use only. I'm now looking into a green sticker.bike and I can get the CRF450X, but I'm more of a Yamaha guy. Just unsure if the 2021 or the 2022 WR450F is green sticker off the showroom floor in it's stock form.
As far as I know non of 2022 will have stickers for offroad use in CA. All 2022 dirt bikes will be for track only. Last few years WR came with red stickers only and even that is now over..
Question for you please.I have a t7 my first bike for a year. It was fun but i want to get into dirt bikes but i need a street legal bike. I want to do both enduro and motocross all is just half hour ride from my house. I can only have one bike. I am between wr450f (actually the fantic version that is street legal) and a 300-450 ktm. What would be your suggestion for someone that wants both motocross and ebdhro n ride to the track? Am i right that the wr-fantic have more motocross roots so its a bit better for motocross side but in pure enduro nothing beats a ktm?
hard to choose, both are great bikes. Get the one you can get better deal on. 450 might be a bit heavy sometimes, maybe ktm 350 is the good middle ground for everything...
Without the ecu it is really underpowered in my opinion I just got mine in and its a huge difference fully worth it
Yes, its a big difference. Did you get the switch as well?
@@dirtniron yea I did its amazing
Your cool bro, nice work🙏
thank you Scott, glad you like the video!
wr is a legend and one of the best if not the best enduro bike ever..people know..just look how expensive wr is used and see ktm..same year wr 1000 euros min more
yea, it is a great bike!
Stunning bike!!!
What is the best battery for wr450f 2011 ,I know you have lots of experience so I ask please
antigravity has good products, check them out
You can tell even with the at home mods it's not set for racing. Yeah if you prefer to ride abit of everything like trails street an a little bit of track it's probably the perfect bike. The gears are set different to the Yz450f they have 6 gears instead of 5 an the sprockets would be different witch will make a big difference on an off the track that's why it's not pulling the best in 3rd out those corners. these days with the computer they are tuned for low end torque to get you up those steep hills
yes, its great overall bike.. good track bike if you need it to be
What size sprocket is on the wr on my yz I'm running 49 teeth on rear stock an i think it's 14 on the front might help pull better on the track cheaper then the computer mods or exhaust an you will notice a big change if Yamaha will let you coz I know you borrow some bikes to do your content
I just bought a brand new 2018 wr450f it only had 4 hours on it, and I’m wondering if doing those free mods it won’t make it run lean, it won’t ruin the motor or anything like that?
it will make it little leaner but not too much there was no popping and backfiring, I would highly recommend to get new mapping.. look into it, not that difficult.. for 2018 you can probably get new ECU for around $130 .. check my 2019 wr450f playlist.. I did all those changes and testing there
I have a 2000 ktm 300 exc with a demon spring for the power valve, it can be a motocross or a woods bike and that’s all I need
sounds good Trevor! thanks for sharing
obviously you can ride! there is a saying, its the man not the equipment!
Thanks bro, i am slowly learning new things and gaining little more speed
@@dirtniron if only i can do half what you can!
Nice bike mate it’s a monster I’ve used one of these in the older model what a bike god bless
yea, its a great bike!
Looks like a good track.
Yea, great place!
Basically just the yz 450 with a headlight and softer suspension.
yea, and timing and wide ratio gearbox and few more restrictions
And add 30 or 40 pounds
compression is diff, timing is dif, alot heavier
No
@@Jake_Hyndsnow now. Let’s not get carried away there hoss.
Isn't this bike able to tune with a smartphone just like the newer yzf's? Are you sure you need a gytr powertuner for it?
yes it is, what I meant to say is GYTR ecu.. not a tuner.
7:46. “Get her” not “jitter”.
indonesia love yamaha australia
Any difference in the maintenance schedule with the WR and YZ 450?
Yes
I would think so
of course you can, like you can ride endoro with a motocross bike..
I just bought the 2019 wr450f my question is how do I take out the throttle stop? Please help
here is good video, its in russian but has a subtitles: th-cam.com/video/Wc29UDM936Q/w-d-xo.html
The store should ask if you ride street or enduro. Wr450 is yz450f race bike with enduro mods. Has equal amont of horses
Side view bro 👍👍
Wrf 250 or 450 for forest and sometimes streets? I like 250's better in forest because it is light and some other benefits, but I think it'll be slow on the road... 450 is good too, but I'm worried that it's too much power in the forest and can't use it at it's limits... I'm riding rmz250 set up for trials and want to buy wrf, thoughts?
Sorry for grammar, I'm from eastern europe.
wr250f will do 95mph think that is fast enough for the roads and dirt.
@@adriantompson which one is better in your opinion?
@@Brity_107 love my 250f if you can ride the 250 flat out its a lot of fun. dont think most people need a 450 tires you out quicker. 250 will go further with out filling up with petrol. try to demo the both as there both very good.
@@adriantompson thanks a lot man ;)
yea,. I guess go for wr250 and do all the free mods
Would love to own one
I own a 2019 1 well my dad
Do dirtbike with light need less rebuild
Usually yes, longer maintenance intervals
This bike is not too heavy ? 120kg for a motocross use?
its not ideal for MX but as you saw its possible. Definitely feels the best on the trails
@@dirtniron thanks ;)
My mate can only afford one bike, and rides the same enduro and motocross.. Had suspension re valved !
cool! thanks for sharing
What track?- thanks
cahuilla creek MX
what track is this at?
Cahuilla Creek MX in Anza
Nice, I'm learning motocross on my 2008 EXC 125 and it goes very well on track. Do you have any tips for arm pump? I'm struggling with it so much.
cool man! I think the biggest thing with arm pump is to relax, dont hold that bike will all your strength, try to squeeze it with knees and have your hand grip little lighter. and keep riding, it will get better with practice, I used to suffer a lot from arm pump, it got lot better now.. still have it sometimes..
What track is this filmed at ? Kinda looks like Cahuilla Creek
I thought we was trying to say Korea...🤣
yes Cahuilla Creek
I will run the text on the screen next time i try saying Cahuilla 😉
@@dirtniron 🤦🏼♂️No, your good.
I was just being goofy, I wouldn't have pronounced it correct myself💁🏼♂️🤣
Now I am curious of how it would have read with captioning on.
Snip a gray wire somewhere to give it more power I hear works on the older wr.
yes on older bikes with carb have that mod.
@@dirtniron right, I get you, it's all change on the new.
Take a street legal DRZ400 on the track
:)
I'll take that as a yes !
Hablas español?
not really, sorry hermano
hello
hi
Did you paint your thumbnail with a hammer again?
Hahaha, its still the same one 😉
First
Legalize MX Bikes on Public Roads!
You can get pretty much any bike street legal. My wr is street legal
Probably not in California tho...
@@dirtniron idk. I've never lived in California. The laws in Commiefornia are crazy. I'm in az. Pretty sure you can get something titled street legal somewhere else and then transfer it though.
An xr400 can handle the motocross track. It’s the rider
yes, thats right
Stick to trail riding bro, you are always in a higher gear then you should be
so there is no hope for me? lol
why dont you just tell me to shift down one gear ;)
Shift down 1 gear then mate haha 😉
thanks for the advice mate :)
I have both the YZ is faster
Yes, yz is faster for sure. Too fast for me 😉
