Wicked vid, I have an 04 wr450 only has a fmf q4 muffler and 15/48 gearing and it will power wheelie 4th at around 90km/h and I've Done around 160-165km/h on it, they're awesome bikes

[@nyls_450]

bro how mine doesn´t even in 3rd gear and i have a smaller gearing

[@Nite.StyleFD]

@@nyls_450 may need a tune up. Check valves, check carb jetting, is it stock? A lot of factors

[@NucLe4rCZ]

Look at the awesome grass :O

[@dakotahspidle6654]

You could drag knee in your drive way ... nice

[@zackmeuth]

sounds like your throttle is very smooth at steady rpmz, did you upgrade your CDI box?

[@mattguitar1000]

Looks like good old catawba county. Nice riding man

[@98Kentuckian]

seems like this build was done proper. i have a 2015 drz400sm but i hope to build a real supermoto someday

[@gasolinefleet]

Damn nice vehicles bro

[@Gonken88]

nice wheelies, no clutch just a little jerk, very niceee.

[@SquidWithGear]

holy shit. 4th gear power wheelies?? i have trouble getting mine up in 3rd. what gearing do u use?

[@throttletube1285]

He's compressing the shocks as well

[@haydenhamilton4854]

Got a 52t rear sprocket on my 2003 wr and I have no trouble getting the front wheel up in 5th I struggle controlling that heavy beast tho

[@motodiesellife9303]

14/41 is the gear I have used on all my wr450f’s. It will power wheelie every year and top out about 92 mph

[@fehrsoldier16]

​@@motodiesellife9303 mine has 15/42 and hits 106mph, power wheelies easily in 3rd

Which transmission do you run dude?

[@captainmolotow9861]

Nice video. Does the fmf 4.1 slipon fit on the original pipe?

[@andrejmaron76]

Sehr gut Junge

[@corradoosie]

wheelie on 4 th gear? Madness

[@frankiemarchese2978]

Did the yz exhaust cam make a big difference?

[@XenoRacing]

Your clutch lever sticks out way farther than your brake lever, why is that? Also what sized guard bars are you using? 22.8" or 28" ? I'm looking for one of these bad boys and doing a shopping list for aftermarket parts.

[@cbrow219]

I'm not sure on the lever difference, I think that's just the way it bike is. Though the brake lever is from a yfz450 quad. I believe they are 22.8 mm, or 7/8", if that is what you're referring to. good luck!

[@XenoRacing]

Oh I see. I was thinking it was curved out but I guess that's how they are OEM. I never noticed lol

[@toddparks3382]

Have u ever had to adjust the valves?

[@yaboimax6356]

What cam. Are u using?

[@mtube620]

I wish Yamaha make a factory WR450R

[@GiovanniSacheli]

great :) does it need a lot of maintenance or it is a long-life motor?

[@cbrow219]

It's been an awesome bike, about to hit 3,000 miles. I change the oil every 500 miles and no problems so far.

[@GiovanniSacheli]

only 3k miles? and than? what about the engine longevity?

[@GiovanniSacheli]

i didn't see it was 2004, i thought 2014 :)

[@cbrow219]

Giovanni Sacheli
Yes it was rode as a dirt bike a long time before it was converted for the road. Only 3k miles on the road so far. Still runs like new and full of power. I've heard a lot of good things about the wr450 lasting long

[@ramirobaldiviezo9843]

Yo tengo la misma moto.. pero Ami me contraexplosina cuando dejó de acelerar.. que podría ser

[@nalexhoe]

Hey man what gearing are you running in this vid

[@TorpedoArde69]

14/40, check the description ;)

[@vaiossaitiswrf450sairous5]

I have the same model but not motard with akrapovic

[@petahxd5]

Just wondering why you went with a 14/40? Ive got a 05 450F with 15/42 and barely wants to pop a wheelie, unless I clutch it. But you seem to power wheelie so easy, I do see your mods. But could it be your gearing also?

[@frankiemarchese2978]

My 05 has 15/44 and wont really power wheelie like this unless i clutch it. Must be that yz exhaust cam.

[@dylandiamond1396]

Is it a wr450?
