Fuel Economy

Post image
8 Upvotes

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. This bike is in perfect condition and I feel like I will regret getting rid of it. Any opinions?

Rear wheel question

Post image
4 Upvotes

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,

Bike gets raspy and sort of loses power about 500-1000rpm before redline.

6 Upvotes

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.

Air Box cover missing... How critical is it?

3 Upvotes

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.

Maintenance Starting issue

Post image
5 Upvotes

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.

Swingarm damage

1 Upvotes

Hello all, recently bought a 250r. I checked the swingarm for damage in a very bright environment and from what I was reading I thought it was the top of the swingarm not the bottom so the one I've bought has damage I want to know if it's a lost cause. The bike has also been lowered horribly and all sorts of whack things done to it but yea here's some pics

‘08 with 10k and yamalink worth it?

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about getting a 250r for a while now and looking out for good deals. I saw this ‘08 for $3k with 11k miles but the listing mentions a yamalink.

I’m not familiar with yamalink install/removal but I’m 6’1” and don’t think I’d want it lowered. Do y’all know how hard it would be to return to its stock height and if this is a good deal?

Typical noise question

Post image
13 Upvotes

I know these bikes rattle and knock like theyre gonna blow up but recently i been hearing a vibrating rattle toward the top of my rpms. It seems new but ive also been off the bike a few years and the only time ive taken it out was rough riding so i wouldnt have noticed the noice. I put a plastic skid plate on a few weeks back but i feel like i just started hearing it a few days ago. Whats somethings to check internally and externally. Bike starts up fine, a little boggy the first 30 seconds of riding but its been like that since day one, i feel like if my timing chain was lose it would be present in start up and riding. 2017 with 10k on it.

Put her through her paces today

My buddy got a new Tenere 700 so he asked me to join him on a ride in the woods today. I took my WRR.

We did about 6 hours on dirt roads and moderate new england trails. Lots of mud and creek flows and basketball and smaller rocks.

At the end, my bike was launched and I went with it, and after I hit the ground it landed on my foot. Thank goodness for MX boots. My SG12 did it's job and all I have is wild soreness.

Bike got beat up and we had some fun.

Carnage in the album, videos in the comments.
