I didn’t go for the megabomb or even the power bomb; I ended up going with a cherry bomb!🤣🤣👍

Thanks for sharing Just did my 99 up. Used the 97 tank graphics

Just put a shop towel between the chain and rear sprocket.that work the same as buddy holding the brake.

I just bought an 85 XL600R. It is a beast to start.

I dont like the DRZ at any level . It's too heavy, uncomfortable . I had one, but I have a 1990 DR350s, which my opinion is a better bike for single track riding . It's lighter. My year is only a kickstart, just a little under on power, but its torque is good, plus it has a 6speed . And no radiator, and its comfortable compare to the DRZ . You think the DRZ is better than the DR, nah? I dont think so .

So uhhh, hey.

Xr400 is about 20 pounds lighter than the DRZ400E its closest comparison. DR-Z has a bit more horsepower at 39hp 38Torque. Suspensions travela and clearance is all about the same.... Both hold ridiculous low amounts of Gas if your planning a longer dual sport or adventure bike ride. DR-Z is still produced and even as popular a Honda's are DR-Z is just more abundant at this point. Owned both and loved them both and Currently still have a 04 DR-Z 400. What hurts the XR400R is the oil changes ... The Manuel calls for every 600 miles most say they change out the 1.8 liters of oil every 1000 miles. Still that is a lot oil changes if you are clocking distances. If you were trying to decide and looking hard at a 400r id say skip over it and get a 600R🤩🤩 thats where i think the XR shines.

You will ride both bikes for a season and let us know?? Hoe these bikes have been around longer than you been alive. You just gonna tell us what we already know. As if you are gonna add some bew revelation. Lmaoooooo

The commentary near the end was hilarious, thank you. Also informative, I'm trying to decide between the two.

That bike was always a piece of shit

PUSSY 💯 Try kicking a 1976 Yamaha TT 500 cc COLD age 14. Found good old uncle Bobs left at my grandmoms the house in barn covered up for 30 some years. Frame up plus. What a machine to learn how to ride on.

Does anyone know if this still applies in Colorado? It appears Colorado made it a bit more difficult for UTVs in 2001 but I don't see that they lumped dirt bikes in with that bill at all.

I guess the newer ones got upgraded to this style of fender. I like the RMZ looking one. Mine is stock and it looks like that. Got like a big pecker head on the front of it!

You have to change those?

I was so reluctant to click that title but turned out to be an excellent video, thanks for making 👍

You’re WELL-versed w/ XRs, and Appreciate your content. I’m a ‘Honda Guy’, and really drawn to the XR for my first Dual Sport. The challenge that I face is a R knee reconstruction, which doesn’t lend itself well to kickstarting on trails. Also, I prefer the power range of 400ish CCs; but, as an older guy, I’m always motivated to minimize Weight when possible. Do you have any thoughts on this (dilemma) ? Thank you for the content 🙏

Thank you friend! It´s the best video procedure how to kick start a Honda Xr250r. all your tips really helpme a lot.

Both Mud guards look butt just ones little less butt .......did you ever hear of Acerbis Supermoto short mud guards ???😂

I was hesitate.. but if all pro said chamber do nothing on 4 strokes.. i said to myslef why a megabomb , 3.5 bhp really ? lol.. and i see your video.. and i agree so much to the logical 🙂 so im going to keep my factory headpipe ^^ and the mufler ? just pleasure of sound ?

weird that none of you talked about the autonomy for long trips

I have tried kick starting my bike the last 3 days still not starting have watched numerous videos on here and still won't start. Maybe I just wasted money hoping to have fun

Hi can i ask what jets are in yours? Im from the UK 🇬🇧 and using the same mikuni pumper carb. Its just trial and error for me atm trying to get it to run properly

This is an old post, but an aftermarket exhaust does not create power. If you increase fuel/power via the engine you dont want to restrict the exhaust flow with a stock exhaust. But an aftermarket exhaust does nothing with a stock engine.

If you want power and suspension, 6 speed buy 450 ktm, husky, wr and drive like man an enjoy , life is to short, power is evrythg when you can lift front wheel when ever you want and dont cry any more 😂

I think this video just proved why electric start fuel injection is a lot better.

Wich bike would better climb big uphills? Would the wrr be handicapped by its lack of power despite its weight? Thank you. I ride off-road only and I'm hesitating between those two.

QUE INJETADA LINDA. ESSE CARBURADOR MECANICO É PERFEITO.

I have one. Get your brake light fixed. No the bike is not cheap. And easy to work on ? No, shock Reservoir is in the way of carb removable ( bad but I did I it ) You forgot to mention that you can see your front end and the newer bikes the front tire is under you 😁

immigrants are generally pretty right wing.

Hello! How did it end up with the carb? Satisfied? I've just ordered it from XROnly, and I'm full of expectations... those kick starts were a bit a pain in the ass all the time..

Do what?! Is this a rant or about the FMF?

Peg the wr? Doesn't wind to like 12,000 rpm?

Got both bikes, didn't get to commute more than about ten miles to the logging roads (2 miles closet) first impression on wr on blacktop was why does it have 6th gear? To alert every cop in the county?

Where is this excellent trail?

I have a pair of street legal, '96 XR250R's with IMS 4 gal tanks and SeatConcepts saddles. Excellent lightweight ADV bikes (240 lbs.). Perfect for 3-4 day camping trips on the forest roads around Yosemite! It's not about power, it's about usable power. These bikes never fatigue you. Great all day in the desert sand too.

The Newer Husqvarna and KTM’s come from the factory with a resonance chamber exhaust

Just chain it up to a pole

What happened to Hermit?

Then what is a cheap exhaust I can put on my wr250r?

I picked up a 2008 WR 250 with 3000 miles mods all done mostly street ridden love it I’m just cruising on the trails and it’s a blast did 60 miles two weeks ago with my wife’s brother in law and nephew who have XR 150 and trial 125 son was flying down the trails with his leg hanging out around corners funny to see how fast he was on it!

I have a fmf powerbomb header and Q4 exhaust on my 2020 drz supermoto and it sounds amazing 👏 👌

Holy smokes you hit it on the head with the politics

I ride a dirt bike an 4x4 fourwheller, 4x4 truck o yeh last but not least shot gun ha ha I know red neck but you are right .keep it real man

The modern bikes changed their headers. They mostly all now look like the mega bomb chamber.

I find it’s the old fuckers asking for electric starts and the millennials jonesing for the ‘vintage’ old kickstarters.

New drinking game. Watch this video and take a shot every time he says WR250R. 😂

Got me one but i can not find partd, any help from new xr250 fan, it runs so gooood.

Nice bike

i raced a guy with a tricked out wr250r with fmf pipe, power commander,etc.. with my totally stock 2008 wr250r with mucho miles on it and handily beat him off the line and up to 75mph. could be a lucky one off , but i think all that after market stuff is a waste. any one up to race a stock wr250, see you in san diego, lets put this issue to rest.

What do you do if you weren't issued a title when you purchased the bike? Also, would I have to go through the whole process of figuring out who the last guy to have the VIN was?
