CycleCruza ,has it been bored out?

Almost looks like buyers remorse but I'm happy your enjoyin your upgrades.

abc123mj13 I always have buyer's remorse with anything I buy, even a pair of $40 sneakers. lol I hate spending money. However, it will be nice to not have a bike sound like a sewing machine. lol

Btw you don t need the servo eliminator, you can leave the servo in without the mechanical cables in, it ll still do it s thing for no reason but no engine light either way, it s heavier tho. The seat concepts is awsome, i rode 8 hours on it without a problem. as oposed to pain after 2 hours on the oem seat. The wr250r or x is so fun with the mods you got, good choices. Btw to all new riders out there, I had much more fun on a wr250x than on a sv650s as a new rider because i vould beat on it all the time as opposed to having to watch my back anytime i tried to open up the sv...

O and btw the best mod i did to my wr, other than the one you posted, was gearing and a speedodrd, i got 13/45 which is still very good on the highway and would have went with 13/47 if i had the wr250r instead of the x, don t go to a 12 tooth sprocket tho, it eats the swingarm... Btw the oem speedo with the oem sprocket and tire is off by 8% that speedo drd rly is usefull if you touch either your tires or your sprockets

Anto Pc yeah I, going 13/47 with a 112 link on a renthal 520 gold chain

+P Banks This is the first time I've laid this much $ on mods, we'll see if performs any better.

+Ian Creature the wr250r stocks looks too much like an 80's bike. lol I had to do something and I want to experience the whole PC tune experience and relay that experience to my audience, I can't knock something until I try it.

+CycleCruza absolutely! Can't wait for the videos!

+richard rosario The only extras I will get is a fender eliminator, probably some better tires and rotopax set-up. I'm trying to keep the weight down but it's tough with all of this extra shiz. lol

+Mike Sloan Nice!

+Brent s The reason I went with a whole seat is because if I ever sell the bike I will return everything to stock and then sell the aftermarket seat. Have a great new year!

+aseredy thanks! I'll do just that!

+everss02 www.powercommander.com/powercommander/powercommander_maps_installs_product_buy_options.aspx?mdlyrid=22-016&make=28&model=96&make-n=Yamaha&model-n=WR250X/R&year=2015&mk=28&mdl=96&yr=2810

+everss02 Yeah $300 is steep and I doubt it will make a difference. I haven't made my mind up yet.

I had a powercommander v on my wr and I downloaded a pre-made map. Later got it dynotuned, and I found out that the bike was running hella rich because of the map I had installed. So I would just go ahead and get it dynotuned by a professional, so that the engine lasts longer and fuel consumption stays low.

+HeroDanny I might have them do that at the dealership when I take her for the first service.

shockadellick Well, yeah, I guess power isn't the right word. Regardless, changing the sprockets will make a much more dramatic effect on how the bike behaves than an exhaust and power commander. It will let it rev up quicker which will make it accelerate faster.

+HeroDanny it was the right word. you are providing power in the required area. we all knew what you meant.

+Greg Studeny I still have to get the 600 miles service done. lol

+CycleCruza multi task man. keep the videos coming.

+Buzzluxx I added a bunch more mods since this video, should be unveiling it within a couple weeks. I'm waiting to get my new heavy duty inner tubes and tires put on the rims and I have to install the new 3 gal fuel tank and waiting for the new LED headlight build. Completely different bike now from top to bottom.

+CycleCruza Damn you really went all out haha! Should be one of the best WRRs around when it's done. I'm leaning toward the WRR for all the same reasons you got yours.

Buzzluxx It was tough trying to figure out which dual sport to get. If we had more KTM dealers I would have given KTM a chance but there is no way I was dealing with the slow turn around time with that one mom and pops KTM dealer in Akron. I love this lil Wr250r though, I can't wait to see the difference with the new mods. Btw, I also added a 47 tooth rear sprocket with a new gold renthal chain.

+CycleCruza yea that KTM 690 is a sweet bike but man that thing is pricey. I think I remember you talking about how it's fun to ride a slow bike fast, that's what I'm looking for. Plus being new to dirt riding, it's good to start off with a cheaper bike so you don't feel so bad when you do eventually drop it. You could always upgrade to a KTM down the road too, at least thats how I feel about it anyway. I'm sure you still have many more smiles per miles left on that tricked out WRR though!

Buzzluxx yeah the wr250r is a great bike to start on and for experienced riders as well. I love it, if I didn't I wouldn't have dropped 3k in mods.

+jkx22 No man I'm done with plasti dip. lol I ride off-road with this bike so plasti dip will not last on rims. I might upgrade the rims and of course they will be black, but the silver actually matches the skid plate and pipe anyways so it's not a big deal.

Richie 636 did you ever start? I want to sub haha!

Richie 636 SUBBED! #275!

+Jerry Coon Never heard that but I don't like the breather tube sticking out of the top of the tank, the stock tank has one built-in on the bottom. I din't want to be breating gas fumes in my van when I sleep in it with my bike. lol Also, some people complained about fuel spilling out the breather tube if the bike is layed down. I'm just going to stick with rotopax. Happy New Year!

+CycleCruza Not that anyone would ever know unless you had to get it inspected but yeah. Metal tank on the street. I bet the tank on your WR is metal. My CRF is too but you can only see the very top part. The rest is covered by plastic.

Jerry Coon yeah it's metal, I didn't know only metal tanks are legal on the street, makes sense though. A lot of people get plastic tanks though, probably don't know they are breaking the law but I doubt cops would waste their time issuing a ticket.

+Rubberneck Rides Yeah after I do an unveiling of the completed bike.

as long as he doesn't add too much weight, can easily wipe out those gains by adding 10-20lbs

mark rossi Would take a little more than 20lbs to ruin the gains, but either way, keeping it light is the real key.

+Saitama Stock exhaust and fender take a bunch of weight off there, with all said and done I doubt it's not more than 5 lbs heavier. I'm not adding a bigger fuel tank. However, I will probably add a rear rack and 1 gal rotopax set-up that I will only mount when going on a bug out trip or long trail trip.

CycleCruza That's exactly what I'd do. I would consider the tank mod if you plan on doing some desert runs though.

Saitama I would just stack a couple rotopax 1 gal on top of each other. What I don't like about the aftermarket tanks is the breather tube comes out the top of the tank, the stock tank has one built in the bottom and doesn't release fumes or spill out when the bike is dropped. Dudes have complained about laying their bike down and gas coming out the breather tube with the aftermarket tanks like IMS. Also I sleep with my bike in my van, don't want to be breathing hazardous gas fumes all night.

+Adas Griskonis tons of wr250r modded videos on the horizon. Just haven't had a lot of time to work on the bike. It's taking forever because I'm having to learn everything about this bike to work on it.

+Omar Abdulghani my bad

No problem.

+Finnishboy000 lol helmet muffles sounds, just sounds loud you guys because you are listening inside the helmet. lol

Yeah forgot that... Any idea when the exhaust stuff is all done?

+Dirt History I'm 6 st too, these bars are perfect for me. I haven't put on the performance mods yet. I've put modding hold, hopefully will have the bike ready within the next couple of weeks, by April at the latest. I'll do a ton of videos on the mods. Stay tuned for my unveiling video...

+DutchMastermind Well the KTM 500 has a dirt bike engine with less oil, so of course it's lighter BUT you have to do a valve check every 30 hours and check the spark plug as where as a wr250r requires a valve check every 27,000 miles! Also dirt-bike engines don't last nearly as long. I'd rather have the 50 lbs than to be wrenching often. WR is lighter than the Honda crf250l by 20+ lbs.

+CycleCruza Thats completely true but ot doesnt take away the fact that its alot heavyer than some other 250's or hogher cc. i change oil and do a valve check after about 50-70 hours or when i feel like doing that. since i only ride enduro and on road, it isn't getting as beaten up as on a dirt track. so yeah it does need a lot more maintenance.

DutchMastermind The Wr250r's weight still feels light off-road. It's a preferred adventure bike for many, people like me appreciate the low maintenance intervals.

+CycleCruza yeah i get that, however here in europe all the dirbikes are the most popular for enduro and on the road, its hard to find a japanese low maintenance bike here.... by far the most people want preformance over low maintenance. And they do maintenance themselves or with a friend who knows more about the bikes. but i understand some people want low maintenance, i wanted that too at first, but after looking online for weeks i figured that a heavyer less powerfull bike wouldn't satisfy my needs since im used to riding a lighter more powerfull dirtbike, and 50-70 hrs maintenance intervals isnt that bad, in my opinion EVERYONE should check their bike that often no matter what bike, just check if everything is straight, tight and strong (especialy if being a bit hard on your bike). Nobody wants his bike to do weird things or not function well when you need it the most.

+Banana Split I do every year and working on finding the time to do a mash-up, 2015 will be a beast mash-up year though. lol Will probably take me a whole day of editing. Thanks for asking.

+CycleCruza all good man. Can't wait to see the WR after you've installed the mods.

+Life On Two Wheels Did you get the megabomb or powerbomb header? I'm just looking for little more low end pull. I know someone who had their wr250r pro tuned and he said it didn;t make much of a dofference. $300 is a lot of money to blow for not much of a difference but I'll probably do it anyways,

+CycleCruza I completed a full exhaust system. Got midpipe and headers. Didn't do much difference. I talked to a tuner and he told me that you won't get much power from modern fuel injected bikes. I even bought performance air filter and not much of a difference. I was disappointed bout performance wise.

Life On Two Wheels I've been saying that all along BUT I never experienced it so I thought I'd give it try. If it's not worth it I'll tell you all in a review video.

+CycleCruza Thx! People at the shop told me exactly what I wanted to hear. In reality it's not, lol. Happy New Years man!

+Pablo Oliva 4

+yiweisixy2 Check the description section now, I just updated it.

+borm91 zero vibes on this bike now, I doubt if it will change much.

+CycleCruza I'm really glad to hear that. What about vibration on cbr600rr or cbr1000rr? Did you notice anything? Some guys complain on forums that the bmw s1000rr vibrates on handlebars at high rpm.

borm91 zero vibes on the blade and 600rr. The only time I exprienced vibes was on the cbr250r on long trips it would put my left hand to sleep.

+mark rossi This is the fuel injection + Ignition module, part # 22-043.

+CycleCruza oh awesome, i dont think they make a combined unit for super sports, at least i dont think they do for the cbr1000rr, i have one on 3 bikes and they all were only fuel injection and ignition must be purchased separate.

mark rossi idk about the cbr1000rr but the wr250r has one combined and one that isn't. I made sure to get the combo.

+NukaMoto Stock radiator has a deflector on it.

CycleCruza You mean the steel bar on the back? When you fall, the outer side of the radiator bends upwards and in, the bar only protects direct side hits in the middle At least thats what i see on the bike's drawing

+NukaMoto I just bought a flatlands radiator guard, installing it soon.

+CycleCruza Nice!

You funny as hell!! Do you still have this bike?? I hope so....

+moto life install video for everything you see here.

I'll let you all know when I get my bike back from the tuner. The tuner made two custom maps, one with the air box door mod and one with the stock door. I will be unveiling my newly modded bike soon, hopefully this week.

Hey man, what did you end up going with. I'm in the same boat. Bike wants to stall stock if I don't gas it. I'm thinking a 14-49 sprocket change will help. Also need tires, but see so many suggestions out there. Not sure which to go with yet.

@@anonymous_friend Anonymous, I eventually went with the 13 front and 45 rear sprockets. I heard that changing the front sprocket could potentially cause problems because of the sprocket size. Some had no issues and others did. So, I simply wanted to avoid any issues...so, 13 front. To get more torque, I went 45 year. This actually had a difference. The first gear is now shorter, but I am easier from a start without stalling. Just enough to make a difference. NOW, I will need to put the D606 on the rear, which is a taller tire. I dont know how much difference the taller tire will make, but JUST IN CASE, I bought a 47 rear sprocket. This way, I can ride the bike around the block with my 13/45. Then change the tire. If I notice a difference with less torque...basically, back to where I started, I will have the 47 tooth to gain the torque back. I will probably change the rear tire in the next week or two. I went on a trail with the 13/45 in the California mountains and think this is a good balance. Given how short the first gear is, I can't imagine what it must feel like with the guys who are running 13/49 or 13/51. They must simply lose the use of the entire first gear. Anyway, that's my though. Hit me back in a couple weeks and I will let you know how the 13/45 with the D606 worked out or if I changed to the 13/47. Take care and be safe.

@@justsomeguy4941 After some research I'm sticking with 13 front oem? and tempted to try 50 rear. If you think 1st gear might become useless, i might need to rethink that! haha

@@anonymous_friend I think sticking with the 13 front is a good idea. My thoughts are no need to risk seals or any one of the other issues people periodically experience. Fewer problems are better than more problems. I assume you are currently running stock tires. While there are videos of guys running 49 tooth rear and getting up to 80 MPH, I think not having a useful first gear takes a little something away from the bike. My objective in even considering a larger rear sprocket was to keep the bike from stalling. I stalled on the streets, on the trails and even trying to get the bike on the hitch carrier when using a little power for assistance. With the 45 I immediately saw that I could add a "little" power and now the bike would roll up the ramp on the hitch carrier and not stall. I then noticed when on the street and taking off from a light, I barely cleared the intersection before having to change into second. This was not the case before the change...but workable. However, this extra torque was perfect on the trail. Less stalling, less clunking around when in first on slower uphill trails. I actually gained a little tractor factor when going slow. Ok, saying all this to say.... if a 45 gets the changes above, I would imagine a 50 is going to be too much for the street, but may serve you well on the trails. If you want more low end torque, more tractor factor in first gear while on trails and uphill terrain, 50 might work. I ultimately want to do some cross desert riding like the LA to Barstow to Vegas rides. While these include slower sandy tracks and trails where a 49 or 50 might be perfect, there will also be long stretches of open desert where the bike will need to perform at higher speeds. I would not want to have bike in 6th gear ringing the engine out just to go 40 MPH or so. I will still want the ability to have some top end speed IF needed. I think the ultimate factor should be how you plan on using your bike. If trail only... larger rear. If some street and some trail... perhaps something that gets a bit more balance. Ok, I know that was long, but wow, I love talking about bikes...and cars. Take care.

@@justsomeguy4941 I read that going to 14 front would counter the effects of going up on the rear count as well. I think this is how people are still maintaining speed but using the 47-50 tooth rear. I'm just not sure I see the benefit of increasing both, if raising the rear only slightly will do the same.

+Ryan Phung Yeah I held off on that because it was a bit more time consuming, I'll try and get them up tomorrow.

Thanks man. Hey, are plastics different from graphics? and can u get like plastics with the graphics on them?

+Ronel Brown All the links are in the description section but here ya go: Get Zeta Hand-guards here: amzn.to/1OvAoAJ Get Zeta Hand Shields with flashers here: amzn.to/1OzN8g1

Thanks a million

+Jeramy Portorfilled I did a video on why I did not choose a wr450f= kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbV6o6ybyNeRZKc.html

That's such a bad idea, the 450 Is a motocross bike with a much more high maintenance schedule than the 250r

Christopher Bassit I hate doing maintenance and maintaining a dirt is is constant. Oil changes every 500 miles and regular valve clearance checks.,

CycleCruza exactly the wr250r was made for easier maintenance and street use, they really should consider a wr450r though

+MetaLexxer Looks better. DT mirrors look cheap and from the 70's. lol (at least the round one's do)

+CycleCruza Ah, ok. Fair enough =)

+Oğuz Sevil yes

okay thanks for your answer

+Carlos Thomas Looks cool but looks heavy. I'm trying to keep the weight down. I got a piece of aluminum sheet metal I'm going to customize, if it doesn't work out I can always get upgrade to something like that. Also, trying to save some coin. lol Thanks for the recommendation tho.
