- Hop in the saddle with 80V as we break down why the WR250R has been and will remain a staple in the lineup of bikes on these adventures. From mods to maintenance Taylor himself goes over the pros and cons of this mighty little 250!
Finally got a wr250r after owning a 2007 cbr600rr for the last 3 years and gotta say I’ve had more fun on the WR in the past month than the 3 years of my cbr.
And i wanted to try a 600 after years of the WR. Worth it or nah?
@@autismion I mean for going fast yes it’s fun but the weight going into turns is so much easier on the WR
I’ve owned 4 Kawasaki ninjas and a gsxr 750 ) 128@3rd) mph and now after my xt250 ALL I WANT is a 450 wr450f or even a wr250f Yamaha is KING 👑
I absolutely love my WR, such an awesome bike!
My favorite moto!
I bought a Tenere 700 last month. I love it for what it is but if I could only keep one, it would be the WR. Mostly because its 150 lbs lighter.
I love that you guys do reviews for your daily riders and personal bikes.
got an ‘08 WR250X for like $2,000 cheaper than a Dr-zsm. Personally I love the seat heigh. im 6’ and it was about 34” with the aftermarket seat the previous owner put on.
I bought mine second hand and when the chain and sprockets wore out I put a bigger counter shaft sprocket on (to guard against swingarm wear and a larger rear sprocket to compensate and lower the gearing a tad. Good video guys, appreciate your work.
I wouldn't let the height be the determining factor for anyone considering. I'm 5'5 rocking aWR250r with knobbies that bump it up an inch or so. There's not really any dualsport that you're going to be flat footing so get used to sliding your self to one side.
I also had the issue where the bike just wouldn't start one day. Thought it was the fuel pump, but it wasn't. Chased all the wires to make sure they weren't loose and it just kind of sorted itself
I can flat foot the himalayan, xt225, and xt250. Riding a bike that fits you is a huge confidence booster for some.
Yo I’m looking at a 2018 stock and I’m 5’5 . I should be good one footed right ?
Do you ride trials?
@@autismion yes
I wish Yamaha had continued to make this.
We just talked about how they will make the tw200 for a century but shut this bike down??
@@80VDualSport Yeah, I have been wondering if Yamaha has been considering a 300 or 350, given Kawasaki and Honda upgrading the engine sizes.
Wish they made a lightweight oil cooled XT500
Hey, Love the video! I have a 2012 and am having the same issue you described with your corroded wire. Put in a new fuel pump, new spark plug, checked fuses and nothing seems to be working. I've never really dived into wiring stuff but do you have any advice on what/where to look for when trouble shooting this? The bike has always run great then one day just died out mid ride and wouldn't start back up. Thanks for any help!
Have 32,000 miles on my 2008 WR250R.
I have 18,000 no worries
I go where they go from sport adventure to super cross but a little bit slower. Love my WR!
This was only sold in the UK for about three years so pretty scarce 13k on mine stock motor just removed the cat...I changed the fuel pump just be because it's a known fault threw the shock away a few years back it was awful rebuilt the rear linkage and just had the cam chain tensioner start to fail had to replace the chain too..bit disappointing as I have a crf250l.that has done 33k and only needed a clutch so far ...love riding it but just bought a 300l to do some travelling
Check that the stator isn't burnt, my 2008 had red/copper looking coils that seemed to have burnt spots. How could you tell if the cam chain is stretched? When I changed my tensioner it was hard to tell if the notches on the cam gears lined up, but it seems to run fine.
I purchased the wr as my first bike a year ago, I have put 4,000 miles on it and I love it! The rear shock rebound and the seat are two cons for the bike. I’m at the point after a year it’s tempting to look at getting something with more power but then you look at wr’s that have had the big bore kit and professional tuning and getting 34hp at the wheel vs 27 stock at the wheel, that might be all that I would need for a little extra power and keep the longevity and service intervals and everything else that’s great about this bike. Mine has the Q4 and power bomb and fmf tuner currently. The suspension and seat can be fixed for a little $$ and then it would be sweeet!
same im just looking for a tad more power
The service intervals reduce greatly with the big bore kit. The rear shock definitely needs revalving.
Never sell your first bike! You will regret it forever!
Make sure you check your swingarm with that kind of mileage chain likes to eat into it
Awesome content guys! Loved the format.
Thanks for the support !
If you are comfortable with 250s and 300cc dirt bikes do you still recommend the tuner?
I live in Applican trail this bike the WR250r will top anything.
I bought mine in April of 2021 bran new... the last one available... but the only thing you can't buy for it aftermarket is exhaust especially fmf for some reason they quit making them...
Im thinking about an upgrade to my wr250r and I rode a mates crf450l today with vortex and the engine was great to have more power but couple of things I ddn't like was the seat and very vibrating engine into bike on road very noticeable. Might big bore kit my wr instead
Not a beginner bike? I started on my WR250R. I think it was too heavy, a CRF230F or DR200 would've been better. Best would be a 125cc trials bike.
I have the 4.7 gal tank on mine. Side fairings kept breaking, that fixed that, and it protects the radiator. Only con is sitting at the front for cornering, it's a bit wide.
Awesome
So is this a dirt or street bike? I’m in the middle of buying one
These are dual sport bikes! Literally best of both.
Love the bike! But I would get a beta 500rrs that’s lighter then that wr 250r has more
Power and can do the highway a little bit easier!
Thanks for watching and commenting ! we sort of touched on this when comparing it to the bigger more expensive bikes at twice the price. This for me was much more affordable option for the average rider wanting low maintenance and longevity.
Is the beta the bike you own?
I have a 390rrs. Way lighter, way more power, way better suspension but oil capacity is lower so oil changes are way more frequent. And at least on the 390 the gears are closer together. Too close imo. And it doesn't seem to compensate for altitude where it flames out, though a new map might fix that. I'm probably gonna cancel the road registration on my 390, I'm running bibs on it, but it is fun on the street though. Still I don't wanna wear it out with road miles. Not looking forward to doing the valves. I'm riding my WR and trials bike more now
The beta 390 is not way lighter than the 500 a few pounds less and it’s not faster 500 Has Way more power than a 390 look it up the freeway or I should say roads can also do dirt. That’s what I’m looking for.
what tire you use?
I’ve tried many different setups for tires but my favorite is the Dunlop d606 on the rear and the Pirelli MT21 up front . These are a bit more pricey than others but I have been able to squeeze about 3,000 miles out of them. The grip and reliability is unmatched , so we’ll worth it in my opinion!
Kenda 270 or Dunlop 606 work well.
