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 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

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

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

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.
@noah4444412 жыл бұрын
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.

@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

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.

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.
@Thecowboy699974 жыл бұрын
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.

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

Marc-Antoine Lévesque Go use google and common sense, a smaller front sprocket increases acceleration, decreases top speed.
@whoisanthony9 жыл бұрын
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.

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.
