I know the build took longer than expected or desired and there were delays, for whatever reason, but your bike turned out great - like jewelry almost - and he dialed it in as if it were his own. Appreciate your creativity and that you're back posting videos. Mahalo!
Wow 😲 your WR250R is the heaviest modded WR250R iv ever seen !! Thanks for sharing!! Looking forward to ride videos and did they ever dyno your ride ? Curious what she puts out at the rear wheel.
There are some great people left in this world! Good job to everyone involved. Damon is a great man and a great friend to have. Your skid plate looks like an older Flatland racing aluminum version. We're very happy that you have your pride and joy back. Looking forward to what 2018 has to bring. See you in the next one *T4S*
Yeah, but that really doesn't matter if you plan on having it as a "forever" bike. The first one I put about $2,500 into and then got rid of it because I thought I could just apply any other money towards something else. 4 bikes later, I re-purchased another used wr250x and, currently, have about $3,600 into it, and purchased it for $3,400. I'm still not done. Suspension and big bore kit to come. And, you know what? I'm perfectly fine with it.
Captain J The BK A lot of the money used to repair and upgrade this bike after it was waterlogged came from donations. I could be wrong but I think the donations were made through Patreon. He’s had the bike for many years and has slowly upgraded it over time with his own money. However, a lot of what you see now was paid for with money donated to him though. I’ve been subscribed to him for about 6 years now, so I would know this.
That's awesome man. Glad to see you back on TH-cam and Athena is looking the business. I sold my 250R but I know she would be feeling very jealous now. Keep on rolling dude.
Thanks for posting this, I just found out the compression is dead in my 250R after 5500 mi., lol (bought it used). I'm in the middle of doing the 310 build on my bike and it's nice to know exactly where to send my parts and who to talk to.
You and mototrippin were the reason why I got my WR250R. It’s good to see you still loving that bike. With the big bore and stroker kits how do you predict the reliability will be? I’d love to do something like this to my bike.
Treeafodo We didnt do anything to risk reliability, she should be just like a stock WRR.... except that it will go through rear tires a little faster.....
AYYYE BBBBB, don't go disappearing on us again brother! Don't worry about views or anything, just do your thing. You make high quality well edited content if you stay active you could be making good money on the side. Shit there people here on you tube making 10-40,000 dollars a month with much poorer quality content and editing. At least give it a try man. Cheers
Hey AB, I see that Kilauea is erupting again and devouring homes in lava. It reminded me of you. I know the volcanoes there aren't particularly explosive like Vesuvius or Mt St Helens have a history of being but I still hope you and your loved ones are ok.
The bike came out beautiful. The Utah gang know what their doing. How has the rebuild affected the gas consumption? Do you notice a change in vibration? Glad to have you back making videos.I watch to get more ideas on where to ride. Careful on some of the places you ride, the DLNR will take the bike. Aloha
i second the thank you to Mr. Duhfactor as well as L.M.R & powder extreme coatings .... lil hoola girl athena is looking sexy k man ! you lucky devil . thank you for rebuilding her and not just buying a new bike . new rubbers sooner than later tho .
Good job Kalani! Thanks for the all the info. I think you better get as many videos and photos of the beast before you start beating it on the trails. Sadly and ironically Yamaha stopped making the WR250R just as you got your gem back into service :(
man your bike is so cool...thank you so much for your vid... i am planing on getting wr250r bran new and make it more good like what you did....can you plz post links and a detailed list of what you have done...thank you and be safe
Looking good. Personally I buy, sell trade motorcycles and have bunch of race bikes but I couldn't justify spending this kind of money on my 2013 wr250r. I think for that money I would be buying a better performing bike. Husqvarna FE350 or something similar
Hey Kalani, its wonderful to have you back. I have always wondered, is noise an issue when going on trails and such? I live in Cali and its illegal to go on any trails around where I live, so noise is an issue as it draws attention. Does Maui have similar laws or is it all pretty much open?
Captain Candycorn Maui is same. The sugar cane companies know of dirt bikers riding on their lands but the common theme between Maui Riders is if you get hurt, assume responsibility, deal with it yourself, and don’t sue anyone. So far, so good. They just “let” us ride there :) much broader story really as much of the land in Hawaii was technically stolen from the Hawaiian People
I live on Maui too and love riding but never had my own bike 🤷🏽♂️ I’d love to ride with you one day! The only thing is I’ve rode a lot of bikes but never one with a clutch, so I think I need practice 😂 but anyways keep up the viddys bro! Love um
Thanks for the info man. I have been thinking about trading “down” to one of these. I ride a GS650 twin , ( it’s an 800 really, stoopid BMW nomenclature ...) Nice bike, but kinda heavy. I am not going touring, all my riding is in London streets , maybe the odd green lane. So something I could flick around and pick up a bit easier if (when) I drop it would be nice. I think I like the X model, but they are rare in the UK so I have never sat on one yet. Good to hear you are even taller than me, I’m 6’4” and like a nice tall upright stance. Oh yeah, I’m also 69 years old and don’t particularly care to wheelie , still recovering from very hurty broken arm from a little sideways low speed off a couple of months back. Playing on the grass with tyres that look a bit knobbly , but are really for the tarmac.... bad idea...
I wish I knew power difference and how much all of this cost, so I'd know how much to start saving up. Although I'm sure all of these shops prices have gone way up after this excellent advertisement. I just brought my brand new baby home last night, and we're going up to play in the snow today.
would it be more simple and powerfull to just throw a 450cc in it? like a yz450f engine swap... Thats what i'd like to do .... here in Québec any bike over 401cc is 660$+taxe so about 700$ to ride only summer time since winter its snowing and illegal to ride. So paying for a 250cc plate having the power of a 450cc race engine sound like a blast to me
Hawaii LP? Oooh! Im on Oahu in Ewa side! Looking for my first bike but im kinda big and tall lol 6’1 280 people say 250 are good for tall and big people but i don’t believe it! But i would love to see lol! But yeah man i would love to ride with you! Sick bike man!
Did you notice a significant increase in vibrations due to the Athena 290 kit? That seems to be something I hear a lot about, but nobody can give me an objective feedback.
What happened to yesterday's video??.. I seen it on my home page late last night titled "I miss the tribe" but I passed out, went to watch it this morning and it's gone....?
Haha, I laughed at the part where you said something about having good brakes.. cause I ride a speedway bike in the summer and those things dont have any brakes 😁
nice I watch the whole build on Damon's Channel will worth the watch, oh yeah you are a tall drink of water ain't you didn't know you was that tall,lol...
Porting the Heads is a good idea, but polishing may not be advantageous as I assume the "Mix" (Proper Atomization) is what your really after, needless to say this is all tuned to your spray configuration into combustion chamber. IMHO 😎. All the same I think your bike is the shit 👊👊
Is that pump made by the crank brothers? I’ve been trying to decide on a hand pump and think that crank bros might be the best option. They even make one with a built in gauge
Hey Kelani, I'd love to do the graphics for your bike! I specialize in motion graphics, but I do a lot of graphic design as well. Reach out if you're interested.
The second best WR250R sure is sweet lookin' in the DWJ. And yes, shots fired :p
minitstop GOT EM! hahaha
hahahhaaa
God how i miss the old days. I used to watch these religiously. Id love to see you active again. If not, i hope you’re doing well in life.
First TH-cam video that I watched with my new iPhone X
XXXDEADHEAD hells yeah! I’m honored
Beautiful rig and worth the wait. Mr. Duhfactor is quite the mechanic and a good guy to boot.
osimnod he’s like the father I never had. Super amazing and great human. As were all of his friends and family

I love that you did this review in the exact same place that you reviewed her years back.
This makes my WR look like a kids tricycle. Well done, this thing looks like a damn beast!
And it’s been 2 years since it was stolen. God I miss this bike!!
There are some great people left in this world! Good job to everyone involved. Damon is a great man and a great friend to have. Your skid plate looks like an older Flatland racing aluminum version.

That is one beautiful bike! Mr. Duhfactor and LMR do great work! That thing sounds like a monster! Love it!
jaetheo thank you sire! Agreed, she couldn’t have been in better hands then them Utah boys! Was awesome going out there and meeting them all as well!
notification squad! im so happy AB is back in action!
trite squad
Freyr maybe not after all
Probably got more money in mod's than what a new WR costs.
Yeah, but that really doesn't matter if you plan on having it as a "forever" bike.

So glad you did not get vaporized. The 2-fiddy looking good.
Looks cool! Used to own one too. Might consider adding a steering stabilizer! Makes a big difference.
Braaap 690 will check out. That mod has always been on my radar as well. Have had a couple of 5th gear wheelies come down to sketchy “landings”
Thanks for the breakdown on Athena's list of mods Kalani! She is totally badass now!

Hi great bike, you didn't mention the increase in power bhp
I know it’s not cheap to build, but man it sure is sick.. I think I need, even a basic, dirt bike in my life.
Dbest1a’s Ride kinda funny that the first new vehicle I’ve ever owned has 30k miles haha. Love her
FAF graphics does a awesome job! They’re in Colorado but I definitely recommend them!
I can hear cam chain slap in the motor. it's either too loose or the chain guides are warn out.
Hey AB, I see that Kilauea is erupting again and devouring homes in lava. It reminded me of you. I know the volcanoes there aren't particularly explosive like Vesuvius or Mt St Helens have a history of being but I still hope you and your loved ones are ok.
So happy ur back kalani, wish i could come ride with you!
Yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about! Great walk around Kalani.
gncc1race thank you sire!
Stoked your back making videos
YAY my friend!
You should cover one of the panels with sticks from local brands and stuff that has memories tied to it or just means a lot to you.
What??????? You're back? THAT IS AWESOMESAUCE!!!!
The tribe misses you too. Hope I get to catch your next live broadcast. Missed your last one.

R6foreternity in the garage. Down for now
:'(
Chaos Graphics buddy! They are in Seattle/Tukwila, they will do whatever you want.
Ira Patterson much love. Will check out!
I live on Maui too and love riding but never had my own bike 🤷🏽♂️ I’d love to ride with you one day! The only thing is I’ve rode a lot of bikes but never one with a clutch, so I think I need practice 😂 but anyways keep up the viddys bro! Love um
ULTIMATE fairy1 send me a FR on Facebook at “Kalani Prince” always down to ride with friends both old and new :)
Keep up the good work brotha!!!
We are here to support you!
Thanks for the info man.
I have been thinking about trading “down” to one of these. I ride a GS650 twin , ( it’s an 800 really, stoopid BMW nomenclature ...)

Remind me, what did it dyno out at? Looks good! I have a WR, but a 310 would be an improvement. Only once have I wished it had more power.
I hope your ok dude stay safe.
would it be more simple and powerfull to just throw a 450cc in it? like a yz450f engine swap...

What the brand of that folding mirrors ? Any links , please
Damn i remember when you made the first walkaround and there was already a billion things done to it haha.
Glad to see You n Athena back. Love the videos! Who makes those mirrors?
Chronicblend 420 Highway Dirtbikes Hand Guards
What’s the boor kit price at ? Also did not see a Link for the “ righteous clutch lever ? Thanks in advance fir the 411 mahalos !
That bike makes me feels tingly in the pants
Sweet looking beast !
Could you please post a link for the tail light and those integrated blinkers please? They look awesome.
Looking good man. Take a look at the Shinko R505 Hybrid tire next time.
bdpa kaknox never heard of. Will check out
Hawaii LP? Oooh! Im on Oahu in Ewa side! Looking for my first bike but im kinda big and tall lol 6’1 280 people say 250 are good for tall and big people but i don’t believe it! But i would love to see lol! But yeah man i would love to ride with you! Sick bike man!
Go 450 :)
Did you notice a significant increase in vibrations due to the Athena 290 kit? That seems to be something I hear a lot about, but nobody can give me an objective feedback.
WOAH YOU MAKIN VIDEOS AGAIN
I love your WR. What did it cost you all in for the mods?
you know anyway I can lift the back up a little? like 3 to 5 inches? I want the tail to stick up higher...is there like a longer shock or something?
This thing is suuuwwwweeeeeeeeeettttttt
Thanks J!
whats up with the bigbore?
Love your bike, I am considering WR250R purchase myself, seen your vids, and wonder what was your conversion cost from 250cc to 310R ?
What happened to yesterday's video??.. I seen it on my home page late last night titled "I miss the tribe" but I passed out, went to watch it this morning and it's gone....?
Haha, I laughed at the part where you said something about having good brakes.. cause I ride a speedway bike in the summer and those things dont have any brakes 😁
Nice ride brother
Yesssss your back wooohoooo
nice I watch the whole build on Damon's Channel will worth the watch, oh yeah you are a tall drink of water ain't you didn't know you was that tall,lol...
glen Decuir yep. Damon set her up specifically for my lanky ass
HP numbers?

Hollyyy shit that frame is amazing.
Is that pump made by the crank brothers?
I’ve been trying to decide on a hand pump and think that crank bros might be the best option. They even make one with a built in gauge
Is this the same place as your first walkaround video of Athena? You WR looks Hawwt AB++!!
Would the wr250 be good for long cross country road trips?
How many miles have you put on these big bore kits? Have you had any reliability issues compared to stock?
how did you pass ''inspection'' with altered ''emissions and ''directional s''
Awesome man!
Damn bro those are some sick mirrors where did you get them!?
I know you just spent a lot of time with this bike in particular buuttt I just have to ask, are we going to have any more kawasaki old gem goodness???
She’s a sleeping beast right now. Sitting in the garage, covered in cobwebs. Waiting. Waiting to be reborn...
@@AccidentalBroadcast ....Miss you...if you dont make it back..its okay.The
KZ should not be that big of a mountain to climb.......
Great show and tell! Suhhhhwheat!
Great that he's back :) Whats the music at the end?
That's a lot of work they did on that Sexy Beast!!!
Hey Kelani, I'd love to do the graphics for your bike! I specialize in motion graphics, but I do a lot of graphic design as well. Reach out if you're interested.
hell's yeah! Send me a FB request at "Kalani Prince" I'd love a member of the tribe to design sumn sick!
I personally am not a fan of the black plastics.
Bike looks sweet dude! Very cool. How much does it weigh, any idea? And how much power vs stock?
39hp now. Not sure what stock was. 28 I think :)
bro i love your 310kit. but how is the maintenance of it?
Great video kehlani
What air pump was that? I’ve been looking and can’t find it anywhere.
got that 450 yamaha, would recommend an upgrade
Cant see your blinkers.
Boom!
Bro can you find out what color the powder coat is on the cylinder/head?
it's a Prisma Color called "Fire Engine" or something to that extent
Still won’t keep up with a stock WR450 or ride as good or as powerful or as dependable
No it’s more dependable and requires less maintenance ... this bike is not competing with any 450 class bike do you not get that?
