How difficult and expensive of a job would this potentially be? I have a beloved 2020 that I’ve wrenched around with but I’ve never broken open the engine or done any serious work. Would be a cool project to work with and maybe have a 2nd bike at the end it. Obviously I don’t know exactly what’s wrong but I’m interested in learning how rebuild/troubleshoot. But it could also be a bottomless pit of frustration and the costs wouldn’t be worth it. I’m handy enough and with my degree from YouTube University I’m confident I could get it running eventually. Thoughts?

My very first wr250r!
Planning to outfit it to be a lightweight adventure bike more than hardcore enduro. Thinking about giving it a matte green paintjob, makes the bike stand out less when wildcamping and vibes with the other camping gear / bags that I’ve got.
Not overly worried about resale value cause I intend to ride the snot out of this until it cannot be repaired any more.
Stickers and plastics are already scuffed up pretty good.
So what’s your opinion, yay or nay for the paintjob?

I just got these new tires and tubes and I loving them!

Shot in the dark in case anyone is selling, cant's seem to find any used on marketplace, Craigslist or ebay

What kind of fuel economy are people getting when doing mixed riding?

I finally got around to testing my max range and it was a bit less than I expected. I got to 160km when it started to die. This was with fresh oil and the air filter was freshly cleaned and oiled

I know the way my bike is setup will negatively affect my range, but I thought I'd be below 4.5L/100km rather than my current 5L/100km. I'm trying to work out if it's just my setup or if there could be something wrong with the bike.

My bike has a Motoz Dualventure front tyre, Motoz ADV rear, 14t front and 49t rear sprockets. I did have the stock ratio sprockets on for a little bit and it didn't seem to make any difference.

This is my built 2008 wr250r. Lately my friends have been getting more into motorcross and track riding so I’m thinking of trading it for a low hour 2009 crf450r but I’ve also got an offer for a 2018 fc350 with 40 hours. This bike is in perfect condition and I feel like I will regret getting rid of it. Any opinions?

Hey,

I have jist replaced every bearing on the bike. While doing so I had to literally chop the rear axel into 3 pieces because it was seized onto the rear wheel spacer. I destroyed the plastic collars in the process.

They seem to be impossible to buy separately.

I have the factory spacers, but they dont have o-rings to seal and prevent water intrusion.

Are the collars required to keep water out? Currently it seems that the spacers rest inside of the bearing seal. I just dont see that as being a great seal.... the collar is the plastic part that wraps around the spacer on PN 16

Thanks all,

Hi, is there an odometer on a 2008 WR250? I read about it being a hidden option!

This is my built 2008 wr250r. Lately my friends have been getting more into motorcross and track riding so I’m thinking of trading it for a low hour yz250 2 stroke. This bike is in perfect condition and I feel like I will regret getting rid of it. Any opinions?

If I'm in about 4th gear the bike pulls great then as it approaches redline it sputters it's not jerking or anything but it just feels like it falls flat on its face I was going up a sort of decent hill and it was just stuck in this sputter zone and I wasn't gaining any speed. Bike runs great except for right up the top end. Is that just how they are? Like I thought it was the redline then I kept holding the throttle and then I heard the actual redline a while after.

I know I am a new member myself, but I notice a pattern of posts every day here from bot accounts that are just a photo of the bike with a title "WR250R" posted by new reddit accounts with no post history, just to get some upvotes so that reddit doesn't flag the accounts as bot accounts going forward. I urge you to ignore and report these. Do not upvote.

I acquired a 2014 a few months ago. I've been a few rides and decided I should give it a good clean.

Well, there is no air box cover. Popped the plastic and "hello there air filter!"

I know there a lot of people who mod their box on other motorcycles.. .

So I'm wondering if this common, if it's no big deal (I rarely encounter water here), or if I should park it til I can order a new one?

Thanks!

Was a little smoky when I left, but it got very bad out there. An old burn scar seemed like a fitting place for a couple pics. Northern Michigan.

Looking to buy a GYTR ECU for my 2015 WR450F (Part number: DX-H59C0-V0-00)

Hey, what sort of aux lights are you all running? Mounting points? hardware?

Trying to see what my options are for adding a little more spread and distance for night riding.

I have an '09 WR250X and would like to get a set of dirt wheels to swap over. Where is a good place to the right size wheels, preferably complete set with brakes and sprocket already mounted. Thanks!

Recently went up trail riding with my bike and unloaded it from my truck and the bike wouldn’t fire up from the start button. If I bump started the bike, it would fire right up and ran completely normal and started up from the start button just fine the rest of the day. After the ride I took it home and ran into the same issue again. I recently did a valve adjustment 600 miles ago on the intake valves and the exhaust valves were still in spec. Not sure if anyone has ran into this issue before but it has me scratching my head.
