"You take out some emission stuff and you make a lot more power." 🤣
Got my 2020 this morning, first dual sport after years of street riding. I read forums for the past few months, came up with a lengthly mod list, but ended up driving off the lot totally stock. After one hour getting it home, SC seat is first mod, then radiator and skidplate. Probably do gearing after that, then think about the motor. Can't say much about the power since I'm taking it pretty easy for a few hundred miles until first oil change. After my 650 street bike, I now understand how much these things need to be revved out, not that I can tell what redline is with no tachometer. Keep up the good videos, there is so much out there, appreciate the straight-up approach.
Awesome, congrats on the new bike! The WR loves to be revved high, more than most so don't feel bad getting up in the rpm range.
Im looking at getting a 2009 soon! I found your videos at just the right time. Great content!
Simple and to the point and WHY you would want to mod. Ya there are a thousand mods for this pup - I have a TW200 (the mule to this stallion) but I like you what you had to say as a cheap starting point for mods that will go a long way. Tx4V 👏
Good info you're providing. Picked up a '20 in Feb (just in time for staying at home). Changed out the rear sprocket to a 49T and new chain. A lot more responsive and able to granny crawl without killing the engine. Only 60 miles on bike, still breaking in. Looking forward to any mods should you post video on how to install. Also looking forward to good riding conditions.
Awesome, and thanks for the sub! The weather just cleared up for me to ride today, hopefully you'll be able to take that new bike out soon.
Hey what is the top speed with the 13/49 you have on there? Do you have to keep it way rev'ed up to keep 70mph?
I have been trying to determine which to use, 47 thru 52, and was leaning toward 50.
@@court2379 So far short bursts of 77 on the speedo which indicates a bit high, revving pretty high too. Much better snap though.
Hey John, i installed 13/47 and the bike is screaming @ 60mph. Yea she is quicker on her feet but, I think i restricted its usability down to city riding or trails only. Now I think 45t would be best for both worlds. Ride safe o/
Got a tusk rack on mine. I strap a duffle bag with my work boots lunchbox and uniform in it. Works great
I'm surprised you didn't mention suspension, sprockets or tires. The majority of wr250r people absolutely hate the stock tires and the stock gearing leaves a lot to be desired once you get off the road. The very first thing I did to my wr250r after sprockets and tires was revalve/respring the suspension and it made a heck of a difference off-road. I'm a new channel and I'm new to editing but you should check it out. So far I only have two videos of local rides but, I'm hoping to get a new one up everyday.
I sub'd too!
Thanks for the sub!
Well I purchased the bike used and had the luxury of never dealing with stock gearing or tires.
But,
I made this video intentionally selecting things specific to the WR250r and feel like putting tires on the list would be a little obvious.
I do have a video though on the importance of proper gear changes.
@@2wheelin I also purchased mine used, I think I have in it now what a new one costs but its close to how I want it finally.
Yeah, the stock seat is terrible and the tank is too small. I bought a Seat Concepts seat and a 3 gallon tank, and It feels like a whole new bike now.
Skid plate, radiator guard, Tusk rack, wide footpegs, LED headlight, 60/40 tires, and hand guards were among my other mods too. It's an incredibly fun bike. Love my WR250R!
Which 3 gal. tank did you choose?
Hello . What is your choice among 250 cc Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki motorcycles for adventure?!
amazing vid, subbed!
U have done a great job , Mate .
Thank you! Cheers!
Did you ever get around to getting the manual cam chain tensioner and how to adjust it properly?
No unfortunately I have not ordered one - but that's on purpose. I'm considering selling my wr to get one that's farkled out.
nice vid, how you like dem tires? they seem to be another popular item folks swap at the get go.
Thanks!
I absolutely LOVE the TKC80s. They are my favorite dual sport tire by far. I've taken them through pretty techy off road sections and they work fine. For me they are the perfect dual sport tire. For people who do tons of very technical off road stuff they might be a little too tame but I think the majority of dual sport riders would love them.
Lol. Just bought a 2008 WR250. Stator was fried. My advice to anyone buying these bikes, is just do a check of everything you can. Stator is easy. Hook up a voltmeter to your battery with the bike off. Should be above 12v. Then start it. You should see 13-14v or higher. I saw 10v while the bike was running meaning my Stator wasn’t charging. It’s a fairly simple job.
Also, one of THE best mods I did was a 48 tooth rear sprocket. The gearing is now shorter, but you can tractor along slow in 1st gear. You can wheelie easier. And 6th gear actually has acceleration now. You’ll need a new chain.
Stator replacement was free for me at the dealer fyi.
@@2wheelinWill a dealer still honor the stator recall on an old 2008 WR ?
@@anonymous_friend They did for me in 2020
Thanks so much for the video!
I have a 2020 I purchased my of 21 left totally stock due to warranty..
The seat is a sore point with every dual sport in existence...except maybe the klr 650. I don't know why all of these manufacturers like to use 2x4s for seats.
It's annoying. But if they spent more money on a nice seat design, I bet people would complain of the cost. I wish they made a comfy seat though.
Bashan BSR has a comfort seat that rivals living room sofa. It just doesn't have enough bike under it I upgraded to WRR
This seat is terrible. Both me and the passenger start to hurt after 20miles. I keep thinking I will get used to it, but not so far...
The TW200 factory seat has never bothered me. So add that one to your list.
thanks for the info
Just bought moesef seat adapter. Hopefully it’s good
Where did you get your sheep skin?
Hey nice review, I have a 2013 Wr250r, i did the tusk tail rack , wolf tail bag , seat concepts low seat , moose plastic skid plate . Love this bike just wish I was an inch taller or bike an inch lower . How do you feel about a lowering link ? I heard good and bad . Thanks and stay safe .
Thanks! Glad to hear it!
I just met up with someone who is very short for a wr and had their bike modded out to fit them. They had the seat concepts low seat, the yamaha lowering link (yamalink I believe), and additionally they had the suspension tuned at go race and while there it was lowered even more. Now that wr is perfect for them and they love it.
So, while I don't personally have experience with a lowered bike, this friend of mine loves their wr and the lowering link did make a much better ride for them. Go Race suspension is obviously not cheap, but if you ever plan to send suspension there, know that they can make it even lower if needed. I would go for the lowering link, as I've not heard anything bad about it from users and it is a cheap, simple fix.
Hope this helps!
2 Wheelin .. Thanks so much for the response, I ride this 100 percent street at the moment only because there are no trails anywhere near me :( I am going to order one of those lowering links and see what happens . Thanks again . 👍
the wrr is a good handling bike off road but lowering it will change handling, it always best to shave the seat foam or buy a lower seat first if thats not enough you can shorten the shock clevis and that will lower it about 3/4 to 1" or a lowering link will work to, plus you can bring it back to stock when you gain confidence, I found the best handling offroad setup for the wrr, it to shorten the shock clevis 4 turns in and run 4" of race sag
Buy the seat, best mod so far. Most of my focus is to lower the height.
The seat concept's seat is actually amazing. It came with my WR250R when I bought it. Its the version with the wide rear area.
Im used to dirt bikes and I still love the seat, its not too wide, doesn't get in the way, and is so comfortable for trail riding and long street rides.
Also makes a great area for the rear passenger with the XL rear area. I dont know the exact model name for this one.
ExUp System is actually pretty heavy. Definitely worth deleting if you get rid of the stock exhaust or just want to keep the flap open which i recommend anyway for better running/starting..
The air injection block off was a nice mod and made my throttle response better and felt like a little bit better of a lower mid-range pull.
I dont do really do long rides that i wont be able to refuel somewhere.
Plus for me, my other bikes are 2-strokes with plates. Its nice to just pull up to the gas station and fill up lol..
Awesome bike. Planning on doing the lowering mod next.
I already have a Yoshi Exhaust, deletes done, an aluminum skid plate and rad braces. Sprocket gaurd. Rear tail light conversion to simple LED light w/ turns built in.
No tuner as of yet but that will come soon!
Also looking to regear for some more acceleration because I do mostly tight trail riding or slow street riding really
Can you give me a link to the sheep skin you bought? Thanks.
Hey, unfortunately I bought this in person so I don't have a link.
@@2wheelin Ok no worries mate.
@@2wheelin what do you think about power mods? Are you doing any or do you think it could mess with the longevity/maintenance intervals? I’ve seen the power difference, looks pretty dramatic.
led head light bulb and real foot pegs could of made the list
Get an exhaust lol
As boring as the stock sound is, and as much as I'd like to get any extra power - I like a quiet bike. I'm able to ride in many areas without drawing much attention because it's quiet.
@@2wheelin I agree. I'm not convinced that "loud bikes save lives". They don't make you more visible, but they do tick off everyone around you and give riders in general a bad reputation. That said, I don't think that a lot of the aftermarket exhausts are too bad.
@@2wheelin on my ride home from the dealer this morning the loudest thing on my bike was the front left turn signal. I was laughing at that, could hear it through my full-face helmet. I worry the FMF or other pipes will be too loud, we'll see.
