yep that works great and doesn't matter if the bike is on a stand or not. Other than the dirty hand you get from it ..haha !

it was around $1300 for everything.

Agreed, about to put my SM wheels on this weekend. I know I have a 22mm, now I can check for and order a 27mm if I need it and be ready. Very well done.

Yes, leaving suspension setup untouched the front is lower compared to rear, steering is quicker with sm setup.

You can use the supermoto guards with the dirt tires too, no need to swap them back.

@@tweakmaster32 awesome, anything else besides swapping the tires over to convert back to dirt?

@@DavesSmallEngines the kickstand if you also bought the shorter one and as long as you are using the same size sprockets you can leave the chain alone. If you are using a speedohealer switch to the other setting and calibrate for the smaller tires. I have setting A for dirt, setting B for SM tires

@@tweakmaster32 perfect. Thanks for your time!

Hi Alex, I use 13/43 with the supermoto setup.

Yes, it keeps the lean at the right angle. There have been times I left the shorter stand on with dirt wheels but I didn't like it.

if you do not have the "X" model fork guards you need the straight zeta bracket so you can run the brake hose on the outside of the guard to clear the tire. The stock bracket is curved to the inside which makes it impossible to run the cable on the outside if you had to.

I would not do anything beyond maxing out the factory adjustment for shock height on the bottom clevis. Any more than that will change the geometry of the bike and affect handling.

tweakmaster32 it doesn',t adjust height, all it does, is make the shock stiffer, which reduces suspension...

There is a preload adjustment which is the amount of tension on the spring for your weight which you use for the ride height when loaded, not to raise or lower the seat height. For that there is a bolt on the bottom of the shock shaft which mounts the clevis to the linkage. This changes the static length of the shock. It does not change travel, rather the seat height. I believe it adjustment range is 1".

sorry for the delayed response. Tire size on the rear is 150\60-17. Front is 120\70-17

well, its patience to slip the fatter tire in between the swingarm, chain guide and caliper the right way so it goes smoothly. I have done it no issue many times except when making a video of course. Just finesse the tire in at an angle between the chain guard and the inside of the swingarm and avoid knocking the caliper sideways and jamming it up. That's where I fouled it up. Be careful on the caliper side not to scratch the rim on it.

hi, they are made by a company called zero-g. Wheeling cycle supply in WV used to import them from Japan but no more. I don't think you can get them any longer.

sorry for the delayed response. Tire size on the rear is 160\60-17. There is no chain rub until the chain is very worn and side to side play is excessive. I would say its a non-issue.

typo.... 150\60-17

nope not at all, at the time I got mine the oversize option was not in stock or I would have gotten it.

yep its a 2008

yep, order these from your local Yamaha dealer: left side OEM pn# 3D7-2315H-00-00 (Fork) PROTECTOR 1 right side OEM pn# 3D7-2315J-00-00 (Fork) PROTECTOR 2

tweakmaster32 Thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate it!

the supermoto wheels lowered the seat height about 1.25 inches.

Minimum of 2 is what I recommend for the job start to finish. Haha !

I would call warp 9. Their website may only list the most common setup and most likely the confusion is direct swap vs conversion. I looked and the options are not there to mix and match. The front rotor I have is a warp 9 and has A89-2250 printed on it. The rear rotor is A89-2230 and the sprocket says 520-43 but I see no other number on it to indicate Yamaha fit. These are all Warp 9 parts so you may need to call the to get exactly what you want. I purchased mine here- motoxindustries.com/ so the part finding was already done for me.

allright, thanks man and thanks for the part numbers!

any Yamaha parts dealer. Fork Guards Yamaha OEM for 2011 model year and prior WR250X left side OEM pn# 3D7-2315H-00-00 (Fork) PROTECTOR 1 right side OEM pn# 3D7-2315J-00-00 (Fork) PROTECTOR 2

Found it in the comments below. I'm going to order mine tomorrow. Thank you much for the great video! motoxindustries.com/

All the stock hardware should fit perfectly. Sounds like you were shipped the wrong wheels.

@@tweakmaster32 I bought a set of Warp 9 rims. The stock spacers didn't fit exactly on the Warp 9 rims. Thanks for your reply.

@@tweakmaster32 I bought a set of Warp 9 rims (circa 2013) off Craigslist. The stock spacers did not fit the rims as stock rims fit.

If you don't the bike thinks you are going faster than normal, thus you end up racking up the mileage that you really never drove. In modern cars this is fixed by a sensor in the tranny, but I don't believe Yamaha put that in their WR's... I could be wrong though, but in general that's why you would want to change the speedometer to match accordingly.

sure, any Yamaha dealer or online Yamaha OEM parts vendor - they are Yamaha OEM parts.

I got them at Wheeling Cycle Supply in West Virginia. they were importing them from Japan at the time but I don't think they carry them any longer. The company name of the side panels is Zero G.

they are Yamaha OEM parts for the wr250x. You can order them at any Yamaha dealer or retailer that sells Yamaha OEM parts.

Hi I got them at my local Yamaha dealer. Just give them the part numbers I listed in the description. Or you can order them from any online OEM parts vendor, for example www.rockymountainatvmc.com/oem-parts

Yes it did by at least an inch. The bike is considerably lower I measured it at one point but don’t remember the exact difference.

@@tweakmaster32 awesome man thx for the video do u have the link where u purchased the supermoto tires from?

Found it. Damn its expenaive!

there is no cush drive on the warp 9 wheel.

tweakmaster32 thanks. Man I want to get a ktm 500excf and turn it into a SM. But I just don't date if I can't find wheels with a Cush Drive

honestly given the choice I would take the 250R over the X any day. The "R" can go anywhere and do anything including street. The "X" can't do dirt. The only reason I have the street setup for my "R" is that I have a few dirt only bikes and can use others for my off-road adventures. If I only had one machine in the garage it would certainly be the "R" because it does it all. I am pretty much guessing that's why Yamaha only sells the "R" version in the US at this time because most feel this way.

What about a 2008 WR250F? Would that be a good candidate for Supermoto? The light kit is only $170.

Well, the WR-F is a completely different animal. Nothing is even similar to the WR-R. The first hurdle is to get it registered and tagged. The light kits are pretty simple to install and the WR-F does have an electrical system, I've done a few in my day. The biggest drawbacks with the WR-F is the service interval on the motor and the off road oriented transmission. Will it be a lot more fun ? ohhh yes absolutely. But you will never get close to the 20,000 mile mark with almost zero maintenance on the engine like I have on my WR-R..ever. It's all about fun vs cost and really based on what you want out of it. One thing, if you go the WR-F route the 450 would be a much better choice for an SM.

Just scared the 250 won't have the power. Tops out at like 60. The 450 I think would be better but it is not as flickable.

D Holbs I got them here: www.wheelingcyclesupply.com/

I used Michelin Pilot tires

they are DRC type 601 LEDs

+tweakmaster32 thanks, ordering soon. For the front, did you have to buy drc mounting brackets as well?

Yes that's exactly what I used. Make sure you get the ones for side pinch bolts, they make brackets for both front and side pinch bolt locations.

it will also get thrown off when you change the tire size. The SM tires are a smaller diameter so the speedo will reflect a higher speed than you are actually going. Both factors, tire diameter and gearing will affect your speedo accuracy.

tweakmaster32 So no matter what, I should get the speedo healer? And thanks for the response.

Yes, you will need it when changing gearing and/or tire size... it will pay off.

tweakmaster32 thank you. That is defiantly good to know

not sure really sure why the wr250x is no longer available but i have a pretty good idea. Most likely the street tire equipped version was not selling as well as the true "dual purpose" "R" model, at least here in the USA. Sales numbers drive all of those decisions.

Sirinterius probably not as the cbr wheels are thicker

Sirinterius possibly im not really sure about that one

don't know about the wr125x as I've never seen one, its not available in the US. On the CBR wheels they sure wont bolt on. Even on similar bikes of same brand you need to have the same axle size, the correct spacers and even at that you have some very serious modifications ahead of you even if you can make it work.

Funny. Here in UK WR250R version is not available any more. But X version is still selling. Watching your video to convert X to R. Is suspensions same on both?

about 5'6" . I can touch the ground comfortably with the SM tires. With the dirt wheels that extra inch doesn't make it too much worse. I have the adjustable rear shock clevis set to its lowest setting and the fork tubes raised about 1/2" above the clamps. Stock the bike is a skyscraper but you do have some tweaks to help.

I totally understand haha !
