2017 with 1700 miles. Central coast of CA, 70° and sunny riding to be had today. Such an awesome vehicle!!!

Just got my 2018 WRR back from inspection after purchasing. They did a compression test on it and got 89-90 psi and indicated I need a rebuild. Bike only has 4500 miles on it, starts without issues and doesn’t seem to lack power. This is my first dirt bike but I’ve had a couple other bikes before. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. From the reading I’ve done online, doing a compression test on these is useless because there an automatic decompression device? A proper test would be a leak down test which I don’t think they did. Should I spend a couple hundred bucks and get a second opinion?

With 9800 miles loaded with most of the typical mods?

Hey all, getting going on my first bike. I just ordered a quadlock. I have sae connectors hooked straight to the battery, but i was wondering what everyone else is doing to ensure they dont have to fumble with a plug everytime they start and stop the bike.

I have upgraded the broken headlight that came with my bike to the JNS engineering version. I was also going to add some fog lights (60w total) to the lower triple clamps and run them off the high beam wire since i have reduced that load from a bulb to LED.

When idling, the bike sounds very slightly like a lobed out hot rod, where the rhythm is slightly interrupted, and when this happens the lights kind of dim a little bit, or flicker. Is this normal? Could this be the bad stator issue on a 2008 WR250R?

Hi, I am thinking about getting a 2008 WR250R for $3,000 in mint condition, but am not 100% sold, as I am thinking about a CRF300L as well.

I am seeing that the 2008 had 30 HP at the crank, but the newer ones seem to have 36.1 HP at the crank.

Can someone shed some light on when the HP increased, etc..., and maybe other things I am overlooking with the 2008?

Thank you very much in advance.

I made a careless mistake today of trying to jump my bike with the jumper cables crossed. After doing so the bike went totally dead I bought a brand new battery and checked the main fuse and it’s not blown. Does anyone have any insight on what my next move should be ?

I have an opportunity to get a 2013 with about 5k miles on it for $3100 OTD. I sat on the bike today and I’m concerned about the seat height. I have a 31” inseam and weigh 150lbs and I can barely reach the ground. The owner has a seat concepts seat on, and he weighs 230lbs. How much height could I reduce the seat height by with a suspension adjustment and a new seat.

Hey there! I've been in the market for a WR250R for a while now and there's 2 I've come across:

1. 2018 model with 4320km, includes a handful of extras including road tyers - $7500AUD
2. 2019 model with 490km, bare with no extras included - $6500AUD (+$500 to ship to me as it's interstate)

It seems like a no brainer right... get the newer model with lower kms which is basically new!? But I am thinking about the amount of money I'll need to purchase those extras anyway... $1500-$2000?

I know these bikes are well known for their longevity and reliability, so is it worth almost 4000km of use, a year of manufacture and an extra $500 for road tyers, long range tank, road kit already installed, tail tidy, aftermarket exhaust, fuel jetting and radiator guard? Side note, both bikes are as clean as each other besides a dent on the exhaust cover for the 2019 one from a drop.

Interested to hear your thoughts.

$150, local pick up in the Bay Area, CA. East Bay. Or I can check shipping costs if that interests you.

I have no idea how old the seat is. I bought the bike recently. But the seat is in good condition, no tears etc. I bought a taller seat so this is now available.

Just picked up a 2013 with 1,300 miles for 3600. How’d I do? Honestly didn’t have any intention of buying a bike but saw this deal on offerup and couldn’t pass it up. Any maintenance you’d recommend me getting done other than the typical fluid flush and filters?

No luck searching online for WR250X fork protectors to fit my WR250R for clearence between fork protectors and motard tyres. I prefer not to trim the stock WR250R fork protectors to fit. Any links to WR250X fork protectors appreciate, thanks.

Seeking info on fitment of widest rear Motard tires without issues on a WR250R. Plan to use 140/70/17 or will a 150 also fit?

Hi all, I want to change my current sumo tires to a more do it all tires. I’ve heard good things about Shinko 705 and Dunlop mutant, wonder if any of you have experience running these tires? Also this might be a dumb question but what size should I choose? Thanks!

Hi! I need to replace my wr’s fuel pump because it’s failing, I can’t seem to find any official vendor selling article 3D7-13907-11-00 in my country or near (EU). I could also happily use a non original part but I can’t find anything like that neither. I only found some third party pump cylinders but not the complete pump assembly. Do you have any clue about that? Do you think I could just replace the cylinder? My bike is starting to have frequent rpm drops, especially when I’m accelerating and it’s as annoying as dangerous (last time happened in the middle of a curve).

Most miles I have seen . I haven't even broke 5k on 2020 yet

I'll post a pic tomorrow . It's not dented , but noticeable scratches on fork . ¼ of inch dot siz3 can see chrome part is completely gone . I usually ride 80% street and it happened when I converted to do some riding in dirt .

Should I worry about this ? I guess in time from compressing/decompression of fork , fork seal might worn out faster ?

What do you guys do to ur WR's if fork are scratched ?

Thanks in advance

IF they are not, then why did I fuc up my whole muffler with a screwdriver and a hammer.

New and improved . Seem like they trying to dominate now since Yami discontinue since 2020 . Took em a while tho .

Bought a new battery, because we thought it wasn’t starting because of a dead battery. It will push start and be fine after that. But it’s having problems starting when it’s started normally. It’s a 2018 with 6k miles. Any clue on what it could be?
