Motor Replacement

I have an 07 WR450 that I grenaded the motor on last summer. Nothing to even salvage on the original motor. Starting to look for replacement options. What year range can I look at for an 07? Thanks in advance. Looking forward to hopefully getting this thing back on the road this summer.

Rally bike conversion

Anyone done a rally conversion on the newer models?

I have a 2022 and want to use it for navigation style rally, but I cant seem to find any proper long range fuel tanks like you would find on a Dakar/Rally bike, I can only source a 12L replacement tank.

Something like this, 2 front and 1 rear. I see Rebel X does it for the older models but not then new ones

Need help

My 2017 Wr 450 f stutters right off idle. It does fine if you roll on the throttle or rip it wide open, but if you barely give it any, it falls on its face and stalls. This happens in neutral or while riding. Hard deceleration doesn’t cause any backfire, it pulls hard on acceleration, and it starts easily, so I don’t think it’s lean or valves, but sometimes it stalls when letting out the clutch after a downshift for a turn. I just replaced my fuel pump because it went out, but this has been happening since I’ve owned the bike. Any ideas as to what it wrong?

Where to find lower subframe bolt?

Right side rear subframe bolt on the rear was crazy tight and stripped when I attempted to loosen so will need to drill out and buy a new one. Anyone have a bead on where I can find a new bolt?

Quick question, try not to laugh too hard

I'd really like to get a plate for my wr but I live in California. Anybody had any luck with this recently? I kinda looked into it many years ago and got laughed at then, was kinda hoping things had maybe changed.

WR450 or YZ450FX - Almost the same?

Just wanted to ask what the differences are between these two models with regards to engine and transmission (2018+ models).

I’ve heard some people say the FX shares the EXACT transmission as the WR. Yamaha’s website doesn’t say the FX is a wide ratio; only “wet multi-disk clutch”. How about all the engine internals, are they 1 for 1 alike?

Do I have gytr ecu

I recently purchased a 2012 wr450f and I’m wondering how I would find out if it already has the gytr competition ecu or if it’s stock. Any ideas on how I can tell?

WR450F vs CRF450L [Thoughts and Opinions?]

I just wanted to post this "for fun" discussion on what you guys think is the better bike. I know everyone has different riding styles so there is no clear winner. Personally, i've been back and forth between the two but it looks like the Yamaha will be my bike of choice.

If you were buying new (or used), which one would you go for and why?

(I know the crf450x exists but for the sake of this discussion, let's just stick with the 450L)

We fucked up - Battery dead? Need help

Me and my mate were rebuilding my bike and very stupidly hooked up the + cable to the - pole and vice versa. When kicking the bike it didnt start but the Lights and the speedometer went on for a few seconds. Is the Battery dead or just the fuses? Many thanks for your answers.

Im looking for a new wr450. Are there any years to avoid?

So I know the wr450 has changed alot over the years ie from steel frame to aluminium frame, carby to efi

So are there any models ( year ) that have had recurring problems?

Id prefer as new as I can afford $7000 aud max, probably 2011-2016 in my price range . Just doing a bit of research before I dive in
