250X rider hasn't ridden in 7 years and hasn't really done technical terrain before. No better place to come out of retirement than McNutt and it's fine selection of rocks and roots.
KTM: we have a bike for every kind of ride u want. XC, XC-F, XCF-W, EXC-F, SX-F, XNX, CXA, ALK, ALSDLASD Yamaha: here take this WR and do whatever u want lol
The wr250r motor is straight up made to be as reliable as possible and the least amount of maintenance required compared to a wr250f or crf250r/x engine which is a high performance engine that needs regular valve adjustments and other things..
I like trails that have more flow, 3rd & 4th gear. You can have these rocks, root and rut trails. Since you like low speed, high difficulty trails, why are you on a heavy dual sport that has blinkers n mirrors to break off? A dedicated dirt bike would suit this riding style much better. Great skills though man. I have a 2013 Honda CRF250L and have found myself on trails similar so I know it's not easy lol. I definitely avoid em though as much as possible.
Dual Sport'n, how would you compare the power of the WR250R dual sport to the dirt only CRF250X? I owned a 250X and am looking for a dual sport dirt bike. If the power is close to the same I think I'd enjoy the WR250R. How would you compare them?
Duane Roland I didn't notice much difference except at very high rpm. Love my WR, but I'm trailering it everywhere because I got my kid a dirt bike. You should buy mine, cheap Canadian pesos!
How many of those Canadian Peso's you looking to get for it? My kid is old enough for a big bike now so I'm looking for a dual sport that is equal to a CRF250X off road with out costing twice what a 250X would. The WR250R looks to be about it. What time frame are you looking to sell and what are you asking? I have Trump-dollars. I'll look at the exchange rates.
The crfx was badly in need of a valve adjustment, wasn't running proper. For single track like this the crfx is hands down the better bike. But both are absolutely terrible compared to my TE300
sadly both weigh more than my 94 dr250 dual sport. Japanese bike makers, are really sucking at trying to actually make anything lighter. They must be making a real effort to make them so porky.
The dr250 is a porky 288 pounds while the 250x is 254 (both wet weights). The Honda is over 30 pounds lighter. However, the WR250R is about 7 pounds heavier than the DR250.

U DOING VERY GOOD ON TRAILS MAN
“Tries” is accurate 🤪
Ha ha
Nice riding. love the video.

Thanks. Just checked out your first cross canada vid, very nicely done!
Were was that spot? Had some killer trails good video
Blue Mountain British Columbia

I switched to a TE300 a few months after this vid, rode all of 2018 on it including a bunch of 3rd gear flow trails.
@@GeezerEnduro the TE seems like a much better suited bike for your tastes, keep the rubber side down.
The WR is a cool little bike but man it sounds so industrial! Like a tote goat!
agreed. engine sounds anemic and not something I would want to get used to.
Every 4 stroke 250 usually sounds the same wtf are you talkin bout
It sounds way different in person trust me. The non wr250r bikes have a way more low pitched deep sound like a smaller mx450
Amazing riding have you done anything to the wr suspension??
Thanks! Nope, suspension is stock, just dialed down the rebound in the rear. Haven't even bothered touching the clickers on the front.
Where is this at? It reminds me of Belfair in WA State.
Duane Roland
Close, up in BC at Blue Mountain
Thanks looks like a great place to ride.

May not be a direct comparison $ wise but probably $4200 US is lowest I could go. Its a 2015 with just over 3,000 miles.
maybe a DRZ400E would be a good choice as a dual sport bike? =)
The WR sounds like it is has far better driveability than the CRFX. They're both fuel injected, so it could be the cam?

ChuddleBuggy The CRFX is not fuel injected.

I was actually refering to the dual sport versions not the x, plus it was more around 178 wet. they were 260lbs dry 2.4g tank, and not much oil.
