Go Up 3-4 teeth on rear sprocket

Ya, like any bike at this price point, certain riders might need to upgrade suspension. For me and my riding, I never felt the need on this bike. We made some adjustments, and it was fine for me. Whereas on our CRF300L, I can already tell I want to throw maybe $1000 at the suspension, since that bike doesn't even give you any adjustments.

@@user-we5yo2yo1f Raced stock crf450l and didn't get smoked too bad kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9ilgJVlrszWp2g.html you guys got me pointed in the right direction, been watching your vids.

@@brianrichard1768 Nice. A modded WR250R is definitely no slouch. We have a couple 450L's here as well. The guy on the 450L looks like a big guy (heavy?), which definitely works against him, and in stock form those things are really choked up, probably moreso than the WR250R was in stock form. But ya, WR250R's are a great bike, and there's a reason they have a cult following. Still wondering why Yamaha dropped it after 2020. Hopefully it returns as a WR300R or WR450R!

The graphics are a retro graphics package that we used to sell for these bikes. The plastics are Yamaha OEM plasics.

Yes, you will definitely need some sort of EFI controller, otherwise it will run way to lean.

The FMF Q4 is the quietest muffler available for the bike, but it's going to be louder than the stock exhaust. Not terribly loud by any means, but louder than stock. Add yes, the PowerCommander would be worth it. They have a map available for the stock exhaust, which will wake it up a little bit and still have that quiet stock exhaust note.

Sorry, don't completely agree. Yes, having the shock re-done and forks re-done is often a better option, but it's also substantially more expensive. We've lowered a few of our bikes with the Yamalinks and Kouba links, and for the riding we do, they work fine. And we've sold 100's and 100's of these Yamalinks over the years. Companies like Yamalink and Koubalink wouldn't exist if what you said is true.

Looks like DRC lists a different part number for the XT250, that bike requires a D48-02-535.

It definitely wakes the bike up, and I'd personally never leave one of these bikes with stock exhaust and fueling.... but it's still a 250 so you can't ever really expect it to have the ultimate in high speed overtaking performance. Alot of factors here.... gearing, weight of rider, aerodynamics, etc. I'm about 180 lbs with 13/46 gearing and the bike does OK at this, but still not quite what our DRZ400 can do, thanks to it's bigger torquier motor.

​@@user-we5yo2yo1f Why wouldn't you leave them with stock exhaust and fueling? Overly lean?

@@tristanloveday5240 Ya, completely stock, those bikes are pretty corked up. Doing a full exhaust and EFI controller wakes them up nicely. It won't turn it into a fire breathing motocross bike, but it's a noticeable improvement in power/torque and just overall ride-ability.

@@user-we5yo2yo1f I'm not overly fussed on performance, I'd prefer to keep it stock for the better fuel consumption. I was more worried about it being too lean but I havn't really found any supportive evidence of that yet.

Ya, I haven't been able to get the PC exhaust either. Those are definitely on the loud side, so if you want a bit quieter, FMF Q4 has always been the most popular choice for those bikes.

Plenty of parts still available.... if some of what you are looking for is currently out of stock, we'll probably be getting more in soon.... we get shipments every couple weeks.... soloracer.com/wr250xparts.html

Really LOL. We sell alot of them for the WR250R and CRF450RL, both dual sports. Some guys ride these bikes in terrain where a steering stabilizer can come in handy. We even have one on our CRF450RL supermoto.

Yes, some parts will add weight. But stuff like skid plates and handguards will offer needed protection, and the some of that weight is down low (skid plate), so it's not real noticeable.
