Hello i just bought a 2013 wr250r and i was wanting a exhaust upgrade. Saw you can still get the FMF headers but not the mufflers so i was wondering what other options i have. has anyone have a WR with a FMF header and a other muffler?

2016 Yamaha Wr250r 8k miles $4000

I'm trying to decide between this bike and the Wr250r

Any help would be appreciated it

Looking for some tips from the wheelie gods....

****BACKGROUND****
For the past few days, I've been practicing doing a clutch-up.

****SAFETY*****
I have a wheelie bar for safety

****STILL BATTLING (work in progress)****

1. Still battling the fear
2. Trying to reprogram my instincts. When the tire rises higher than what I'm used to my body leans forward, my legs flare out, and I pull in the clutch.
3. I just started working on the muscle memory for the rear brake.....instead of relying on pulling in my clutch.

QUESTION:
I can consistently get the front tire at least a foot off the ground BRIEFLY.....HOWEVER.....I noticed in 1st gear, it seems to be very finicky once I start giving it MORE gas.

The front tire goes up even higher and it feels like I'm going to fall then all the survival instincts (mentioned above) kick in and my problems come back.

I know 2nd gear would be better, but I want to see if I can get the hang of 1st gear (not even master) first....

Any tips?

Glad I bought mine when I did!

Not Dunlop d606 rear pls. Something closer to a stock ish size. Top speed with 13/48 or 13/49 gearing please based on gps or something?

I’m looking at a woods 13 drive and BDR 14 tooth combo to have some top speed referenced. Thx

I found another post showing someone that swapped a wr250f headlight on the wr250r, Is this hard to do? I would like to get a white or black headlight. TIA

Anybody in need of a stock seat or a shaved stock seat? Have both and they are sitting around.

Need some help. I just added core braided brake lines to my 2008 wr250r and flushed the old brake fluid. Everything has been bled and no air, but I have to push down a lot farther on the rear brake lever for the brakes to engage. I'm not seeing an adjustment for them. What am I missing here?

I've been ridening for a year or two. I want to do more off roading. However I don't want to mess up or crash my dual sport. Not that I'm afraid of crashing I don't want to mess up the bike because it's expensive for me to fix. How did y'all get over crashing and just send it with no worries

Hey all, replacing my radiator on this project bike where lots of parts were missing or not mantained well. The OEM panisonic fan was all bent up and pushed against the also bent and corroded radiator. I bought a replacement tusk fan where the plug is different. Im unsure whether to splice on the plug from the oem fan or run a wire to my ignition controlled fuse block so that it runs while the engine is running. i know wrr's run hot and i would like to lower the temp a bit if i can, but any downside to running it all the time. I have one of those temp radiator caps and (after fixing the fan binding issue) it rarely went on even when temps showed up to 210f.

also im changing the water pump seal, but any reason i should change the thermostat at the same time?

Hi , I've done some research and there's not much for tubeless wheel .

I currently run supermoto warp 9 17" wheels with tubeless option on street tires . I been wanting to do to some 50/50 on & offroad and looking for tires that are tubeless ..

As for tires not much options and best price I gathered for front & rear was 300 bucks before tax .

I noticed there's are so many tube type tires and cheaper .

Anyone running spoke wheel with tubeless tires ? What tires are you running ?

Hi all. My 2008 wr250r is going in for a fork rebuild and looking to do some up grades at the same time. What are everyone's thoughts on doing the racetech type 1 gold valve fork kit and racetech .48kg fork springs for a 200lb newer rider? Also, is the 40mm gold valve shock kit worth it?

Hi all. I'm pretty convinced I'm going to switch from my KLR650 to a WR. I currently have 38L aluminum hard cases for the KLR, as I do a reasonable amount of camping with the bike. I'm just curious to hear folks' opinions regarding luggage for the WR. Are the large hard cases going to be too heavy and unweildy for the smaller machine? Better to go with smaller and/or lighter soft bags?

I've consumed a bunch of reviews of the WR already, many by guys much heavier than me (85kg), but nobody has talked about this specific point. Thanks!

Hi,

I have a 2015 wr250r and i want to get a set of supermoto wheels.

I can see online that the warp9 wheel set and conversion parts are the simplest and most popular in the US, but the delivery and import taxes to Sweden make it quite expensive.

I am in Sweden and trying to find an alternative this side so if anyone has any recommendations please let me know.

I intended to get these from Bold

https://bolddesignz.com/collections/all-supermoto-wheels/products/bold-blue-supermoto-wheelset-ny

But according to their customer support, they do not fit with Yamaha models.

I don't know if it's a lazy employee or if the wheels really wouldn't fit. The front wheel has the same dimensions as the warp9s but the rear wheel is 5 inches wide whereas the warp9s are 4.25 inches wide. Is it that the hubs wouldn't fit, even with spacers?

Any other ideas? Maybe get the stock 250x wheels through a Yamaha dealer?

An extra question about the conversion is about the suspension, if you change the front wheel from 21 inches to 17 inches and the back wheel from 18 inches to 17 inches, the whole bike will tilt forward and be pitched forward quite a bit. Is there anything anyone does about that?

Will it affect handling and riding position much?

And does the wr250x from factory have the same forward pitch?

Thanks!
