Nice video, factual and very useful. Not too opinionated and presented calm and level headed. I liked it!
Thanks man, I really appreciate this comment.. Exactly what I've tried to achieve
@@vegasromaniac I'm planning trading my crf450r. For a 250fx hows the power on the 250fx im about 210 lbs would it be enough
@@chrisporter8829 yes it's plenty
I would go with the WR without a doubt.
Overall it pretty much lets you ride whenever you want with the added advantage of lights
After 30 yrs of racing Enduro and HS in B/A class top of class, when ever possible I raced Ws in the south east US. After years of trying to help the X (moto/cross country) crowd I've found there like the 450 guys and can't b helped.
This might be true for North America but for many parts of the world the WR is the only option as many countries require a trail bike to be road registered in order to ride the state forests (for insurance reasons). In Australia you would likely find 90% of sales are the WR for this reason. Also some countries don't have the restricted ECU that north America has. For example the Australian delivered WR has the tuneable ECU via BT app (which I believe is the same as the FX). North America gets a locked ECU on the WR.
We also get headlights and tail light on the recent fx models.
Enduro events and competitions using public land require registration in AU as well as State forrests
Like the idea of the FX but will stick to my wr as they can confiscate your bike here in West AU on public land if not licensed
You didn’t answer anything, you just restated the question. “The WR will never be the YZFX”. Yeah, exactly, they’re different (a little bit). That’s why people are asking....WHICH ONE?!? 🤣
You are right for the most part, but a WR250F can be made faster than a YZ250FX if you want it to be. There are a ton of aftermarket parts available. My WR250F had the free mods and some GYTR mods added before I got it, but I added a JD jetting kit for the carb. It's almost too fast once it hits about 4-5k RPM. The guy that I bought the bike from told me it was too fast for him.
I believe that..
If you plan to plate any of these (like me), the WR is the easiest to convert. Just a few more bits and you are good to go....
true
If you intend to enter an organized ride, or race an enduro,! Most places its a must , you have front and rear lights . I have snuck into 2 enduros in the past , with my KTM 250 SX!! No harm no fowl , just made it to the fuel stop though ! I would buy the WR but now a days ?? $$$$$$
That's why the fx I have they put a tear light and and front light on it.. Makes sense.. I bought it used
Hi there I would like to add that the transmissions and final drive on both the WR and FX are exactly the same. Thank you for the good side by side review.
Christopher Moritz you caught that too👍🏻
So is the only difference between the two basically, one is lighter with no lights and one is a little heavier but with lights?
@@BaronBoar and that if the wr is 2019 or older, no ability change maps on the bike .. which bummed me out. You can of course add all that with the parts from yamaha for about ~500 bucks or a little more. I like my wr250f .. just wish I had bought 2020 or newer .. and I could have at the time.
Thank you for doing this video.
The specs of the 2 bikes is different for different countries.
So everyone has to talk to their Yamaha dealer and look the specs up for themselves.
Many of the Yamaha's I understand cannot be used with tuning app in Canada. In some states or maybe in Australia you have to have lights to do an enduro race. Some come with different gearing,.... and other parts also.
It is not 1 set of specifications is for 1 bike all over the world.
Glad you liked it
You’ve confirmed my findings I agree the YZ250FX has all the applicable benefits and will provide many hours of enjoyment for experts and provide an opportunity for new riders to develop their riding skills from this fabulous package...!!!
I love it.. I'll never change... If you ask me now
@@vegasromaniac The FX lacks the headlight I need to get me home sometimes! WR wins for me.
I have the 250x. I love it lot of power great suspension.
interesting .. I have the wr250f but wish I had the ecu and ability to use the app to set maps, like just about all of them after 2019 do. I have been on some trail and a couple of mx tracks. I had a blast on the mx tracks even though I am completely new to that. Lifelong mt biker and road racer. I am pulled in all kinds of directions about engine size, enhancing performance, etc. I wasn't aware that the wr and fx were so close. Honestly not happy with the clutch/transmission of the wr much. It can be hard to shift, and sometimes a nightmare to just get into neutral, .. from day one. If the fx's felt better, that would be a plus in its column. I would throw a recluuse on it, but am not sure I am going to keep the wr. So ... more riding to see how it goes. I know I could add the map switch, competetion ecu, and wireless connectivity piece, but like you said the transmissions are different. Might end up with the FX just cause my bike is so new and i could sell it and switch pretty easily. I don't think I would miss the headlight, tailight, etc .. but initially, my thinking was (as it would be easy in Ohio), that I could make it street legal and do short commutes on it from time to time, .. or just ride it to the trails and back, instead of having to trailer it. All that seems like folly now. I bought a black widow tray for the back of my highlander and that works great .. so no need for a trailer. Like the video, and the input, thanks.
I like what Cyclecruza did to his YZ450FX, I'm sure you should be able to do this to a 250FX so you could ride it as a dual sport
I don't think I'll ever make it a dua spout because I like mousse and that will kill it...
@@vegasromaniac I just did a tire change, my Nitro Mousses were good as new after a few hundred miles, single track, fire roads, and pavement, never over 55mph.
I have a 2013 Crf250r And i'm absolutely satisfied...I think that last 6th Gear that i havent is not really a point to say, that the 250f/250r Version isnt good for trail riding ...every rider have to look,how good it is for him
That's Tru
which of the three is best for driving to work, school or friends and sometimes a little bit of Road?
none of them are street legal.
@@JustMe-999a yes they are. The wr is learner approved for roads
@@JackPatterson2232 That wasn't one of the bikes listed in the title...... "YAMAHA YZ250FX VS WR250F VS YZ250F HOW TO PICK THE 😲 BEST TRAIL RIDING 4 STOKE"
The 250F is not street legal
@@JustMe-999a oh in australia wr250 and Wr450 come street legal. I’ve got one registered with insurance. Obviously they come really corked up with a throttle restrictor but most dealerships take all the road legal safety crap off. I’ve been pulled over by police and they don’t even check you have all that emission shit on. I’m in australia by the way
@@JackPatterson2232 Depends where you live. People watching thses videos live all over the world not just in a specific state in the U.S.A..
One of the best videos I have ever had the pleasure of watching!👍👍 Very clear and detailed comparison of 3 great bikes! Bravo!👏👏👍👍And since I will be doing more trail riding I ordered the 2021 YZ250FX. Look forward to receiving it and riding it next month!🤩🤩Happy trails!!!👍👍😎🏍
Ohh what's an awesome bike you gonna have.
@@vegasromaniac Yep! It's been 20+ years since I last rode dirt bikes with my Kids, and because I am getting back into dirt/trail riding again I almost bought a 2021 YZ125X, but I am glad I didn't because at almost 60 years old everyone around me tells me the YZ250FX would be the best choice for me. I will definitely add a kick stater as a back up in case the battery ever dies. Cheers!!!
What would you recommend for 50% track 30%trail 10%mudding 10%hill yzf or yzfx
Yeah it's a compromise but yeah
Neither of these. YZ250X duhhh
@@thepatternforms859 i forget about my comment but yeah your right i got a yz250 thats built like a yz250x like 10 months ago and it dominants
I thought for 2020 the transmission and clutch was the same for the wr and fx
I thought so too
Would you still recommend the YZ250FX over the WR250F in 2024 models? I was recommended to buy the WR (via forums) but after researching both (and honestly wanting to buy a Honda CRF250RX at the beginning of my search), I’m pretty settled on the YZ250FX.
My favorite bike off all times mostly because I know how to fix it and it's easy to check for maintenance
I bought a 24 fx awesome bike for trails! 6 speed transmission and 18” rear been awesome! I redid the suspension other than that bikes stock the ecu maps are cool also. Yamaha more than likely is gonna release the 25 250fx with all the updates the 450f and250f had last couple years so maybe wait if you’d rather have the slimmer body and “newer” look
Fantastic comparison..the winner is..Yamaha..what else..
Yep very clear winner.. Haha
I'll take your word for it. All my bikes are old. Have a good day
Old bikes are ok also.. But sometimes there is a time, when one good one is better than 5 old ones...
What do you think should i buy for trail! THE WR250f or y250f? Tnks
Thank you for the informative video
glad you liked it !
I only came to watch this video hoping to see if the WR250f sounds differently than the other two models because honestly I don’t like the way the YZ models sound anymore
Great video. Good to see you again on utube
excellent explanation, straight , to the point , all facts. cheers. I have a wr250r. should I get a yz250x or yz250fx. I ride tighter technical stuff. New England .
Yz250fx all day
YZ250X All day!
I'm an older rider(75) and mostly trials bikes on trails...Gas Gas etc. in the past 40+ years. I'm going to get a Yamaha strictly for slower tight trails here in Hawaii and so I can sit in open areas. Most interested in a bike that doesn't stall easily while riding relatively slowly up steep tight trails and pulls smoothly from idle rpm. Should I still buy the YX250FX over the WR250F? Thank you.
YZ250FX...sorry for the typo
Great video, maybe I missed it, WHY is the WR not as good as the YZFX, is it mapping, gearing ???,
Mapping gearing parts,
YZ250X beats both of them
Yz250fx = best
Wr250f = if you want it on the road
Yz250f = motocross
You are confusing the wr250f with the wr250r , f and r huge difference
@@vegasromaniac could be, it was my understanding that you can road legal the wr250f, don’t know much about the r.
@@vegasromaniac yeah nah slightly different over here in Australia where every wr comes road legal, so no one bothers with the r. I have an old Wr400f that’s road legal good fun, looking to upgrade to 450.
Hey man i just got back on you tube after a year away travelling I ended up in north Europe Lithuania. I'm watching all your videos that I missed hope your back is better
Thanks man, yeah I'm defenatly to getting better can't wait to get on the bike again, too bad I don't have a bike now
@@vegasromaniac by the way good luck to find an 250yz fx and welcome to KTM s world plenty of them in Europe.
So the only difference was one has a light and one doesn’t making it lighter or is there something I’m missing
whats your opinion on trail riding YZ125's that have the 6 speed transmission rather than the five speed?
Yz125 it's a great bike, if you like 2 stroke it's a great bike, light reliable and fun.. No estart it's a down side
Vegas RoManiac that’s true but 125’s are pretty easy to kick over. I’m way more of a four stroke guy, but I love to have a 2 stroke I can beat the shit out of for some good throttle therapy and if it blows I don’t put a hole in my pocket 😂. I have a KX450F for trail riding (lots of fire and logging roads) and I swap between a 12 and 15 tooth depending on what I’m doing. And I also have a CR250R that I love to use when I’m messing around or doing short rides
great video. wich one is better for beginners
Wr
The FX Needs A Headlight and Tail light!
Good morning! What will i do to make my 2020 wr250f to a yz250fx? Thnaks!!!
Ecu , and exhaust. About 500 bucks new .. imbut if you ask me. Not worth it . Not that big of a deal
@@vegasromaniac ecu of the yz250fx sir?
@@vegasromaniac i put already an fmf exhaust pipe sir
So does adding a spark arrestor to the YZ250FX (in orderto ride in National Forest) reduce performance (or how much)?
Yeah it you can't tell, only onna dyno, i have a removable one and i always ride with it in, never take it out even if that could give me potentially better power
How about maintenance schedules between the WR and FX?
Same motor same maintenance... Talking wr 250f not r
Not knowing what the difference in the transmission is... would the WR headlight be useful?
Wr is a great bike .m.
@@vegasromaniac thanks!!
But if you need a spark arrestor and a license plate/light kit for where you ride... then the WR is the bike that the FX only wishes it could become! :-)
Absolutely.. Specially for street legal stuff the wr it's more complaint with it...
Agreed. They are good in different ways because they’re designed to do different things.
The FX is a woods/off-road weapon. It’s designed with closed course GNCC type competition in mind. No lights or street legal equipment needed there, it’s just extra weight. The closer ratio transmission is perfect for the woods.
The WR is a trail/enduro bike, where you do some single track but then may need to hop on the road for a few miles to transit to the next section of trail. So that’s where you absolutely have to have lights, and a transmission that can be happy at 55+mph for a little while.
They uses only wr in enduro gp
But amazing Video man 😎🔥👍
Thank you..
Can you explain more about the 19" wheel being more susceptible to flat tires and stuff?
I sure will try to do that in the next video..
@@vegasromaniac thanks man, I appreciate it
I believe the sidewall is shorter, being that the rim is larger, thus more susceptible to pinch flats when you air down. . and a real pain to change the tire.
So i have like a 2600$ budget to get a new bike, i mainly trail ride but do like hitting the track, should i just get the yz250f since its really my only option at the price?
Yes.. You are very limited on price....
Vegas RoManiac well im 15 and ive been saving up for a new bike for 1 1/2 now 😂
Great video! I'm thinking about selling my yz250f and getting something better for trail riding..Does the fx come with a spark arrestor or would I have to add one?
You have to add one 😒😂 mine came with the upgraded fmf.. That was nice
I wonder how they compare with the new 2022 wr 250
They haven't changed much on the new one . New it's just in the name .. z a sales gimmick . In 2015 major update since then just minor
Would you change your gearing at all ever?
I dont think so , its perfect as it is
More explanation needed about the FX gearbox compared to the WR. You just said there’s a difference and not much else.
The wr has a shorter first gear amd longer 6th, wife ratio transmission so, as a trail bike it's Moore like a 5 speed because you can never use the 6th in any trails conditions, way to long
@@vegasromaniac EU version of the WR250F, the only difference with YZ250FX is different cams, otherwise technic-wise its the same bike as YZ250FX as you have in the US. It cannot be street legal and its an enduro racing machine, does not need GYTR ECU or throttle stop mod, it has map switch and can be tuned with mobile app, whereas US WR250F needs all those mods to be like YZ250FX. Its worth mentioning that EU WR250F and US WR250F do come different from the factory.
Vegas RoManiac look at the parts schematics on rmatv for the fx and the wr 1st and 6th gear. They have the same number of teeth, 1st is 31T, 6th is 22T and the part numbers are identical. 🤷♂️ That said I would still likely buy an fx, throw on a headlight and a slip on spark arrestor and be done. I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.
@@evr-mr3cp
You are correct, the difference is suspension valving, lights, odometer, skid plate and spark arrester.
Everything else on the two bikes is the same.
@@SWFlowseeker thanks for the extra info guys!
Music is too loud.
I can't find a single used yz250fx in europe..
Yeah, I'm in the same boat my friend it sucks...
@@vegasromaniac buy the Sherco 300SEF-R then its a great woods bike too and it can be road legal
Can you put a wr fan on a fx?
Yes
Yamaha sells the WR fan kit for the FX right on their website, plug-n-play.
Van you ride a yz250 fx in the normaal road to ?
no
AMEN!!!!
still happy with my cheap gasgas 450 FSE, a more expensive bike makes me probably a better rider but won't give me more fun
Yeah that's all it matters
yes but almost every other bike gives you more reliability,than the gasgas 450 engine... if it is the yamaha engine in it(in newer models)then great bike
oliver380 no it’s the Suzuki DRZ Clone, and we Will se when he leaves me stranded 😋
Company that refuses to differentiate their products don't deserve your money.
True that
FX ...way to go..
Sure is
Que tal la partida en caliente de la YZ250FX ???
Change the battery and its fine
Nice
Nice video
Thanks..
Forgot the wr250r, Although I'm pretty sure nobody buys those things anymore.
Yeah that's something you compare to the drz... Haha
if i had to choose between them i will buy the wr250r, it can be road legal(as far as i saw here) and you can remove unnecessary items, like stock exhaust etc... night riding wont be a problem at all with headlights
Yz 125 best bike
Sure it
Wr250r💁♂️
This dirty bike in India was banned or free in the roads....
Sotaque portugues no ing
👍
Fx and wr are same
Did you even listen to the video
Goin straight to the comment, this question wasn't supposed to be asked
C'mon. I have a 250fx and I almost never use 6th gear. 5 spd is fine for trail riding, stop crying about it. I'd rather have a 250F with an 18" rear wheel and revalved suspension then that fat arse slug WR.
The first gear on the f it's terrible, and after you install a new sprocket kit you fix that and you can go 50 mph at 12k rpm, I've been there.. The fx it's a wr . Without the light cables and exhaust, face it.. Wr it's a great bike. M fx it's better
The fx it's the sexier twin with small natural pirky boobs as God intended
YZ250F is a motocross bike so why add it to the list?
Because if you go to a trail head, half are motocross bikes..
Fake news! Romanian propaganda! KTM 2 strokes forever WOOWOO🤣👍
You obey my wishes or will be sent to the dungeon and chained up and never see the light of the day or the blue of a yamaha... Haha
Ktm is just an overpriced dirtbike 😂
Nice
Thanks Mr Fry, never change that thumbnail... It's my favorite haha
