r/WR250R

check engine light comes on and bike dies shortly after and doesn’t want to turn on , it bump starts i believe it’s battery related could be stator not sure tho if anyone knows lmk pls

Hello, so I started riding this amazing machine, but shortly before I started, my dad kinda wrecked the rear end, and now I have no rear light and plate holder, and even the turn signals are effed. I plan to get this thing registerred and back on the road. So I need a relatively cheap tail tuck/plate holder thing that road legal in the EU. Thanks

Edit: also, are the cheap ones from ebay and aliexpress ok?

On a Motorcycle Trip in NV and my forks starts leaking oil (Small Pool on the ground 2nd Photo) was wondering if theres any quick fixes or should I bring it to a shop ASAP?

Does anyone here run an FMF exhaust on their street legal bike? I bought this WR250R and it came with an FMF exhaust. I didn’t really think about whether it was legal or not, and now I’m worried about getting a ticket. I currently live in California but I’m moving to Texas soon.

Had my WR stolen but luckily recovered within hours thanks to a cheap gps tracker. The thieving little bastards ripped off old graphics kit so had to order a new one. Decided to give a Powerzone custom kit from ali express a go

Overall the quality and stencils are really good quality, measuring at 0.70mm (~28 mil). Seller was accommodating to requests like the WRF headlight shroud.

I do miss the speedblock design of the old one, but still happy for the price i paid.

Millican ohv prineville Oregon .. chased my buddy around on his yz125..

old wr250 did okay .. it’s no dirt bike but it did the the trick .. next stop is highway 88/4 in the Sierra this coming weekend .

Millican is a great trial system north Millican has some really fun loops. Easy riding with 250 miles of berms whoops sand some hill climbs and picturesque views .. free camping and good fishing

Probably 1 hour on road, 1 hour on trails. Not sure when I picked this up.... Guess the tubes really are heavy duty! Still holding air even after I took out the nail.

Hey yall, decided it was time for some new sprockets. Keeping it 13 in the front and 47 in the rear. I’m currently changing out the front and I went with a vortex instead of OEM. Revzilla said it would fit the wr and the teeth and splines look the same. However the OEM sprocket is much wider, a bit heavier, and has rubber pieces on each side that the vortex does not. This has me worried that the vortex will not fit properly and cause issues. What do yall think? Have yall swapped a front sprocket out on your wrs that looked much different but worked just fine? I’m hesitant to put it on now because it looks so much different

Got my wr with it needing some love, I’ll prob be asking more advise at some point because I want to pretty her up.

This is my first attempt to repair this fmf q4. It’s not perfect but it now has 0 leaks and new packing which is what was most important to me.

I popped that dent out as much as I could and used steel stick jb weld to repair the missing material on the canister.

It was leaking bad from that area before and had almost no packing left.

The seller told me he had done that damage when he dropped it out of his truck.

I used a carbon fiber wrap which will probably last all of one ride, but I got enough to wrap it a good 3 or 4 times. I want to find a silver material to use so it looks more oem sometime in the future. Im sure there’s something I can use that’ll look better than the carbon fiber pattern. Underneath is ugly as hell with the jb weld.

I bought a pack of generic bolts and some rubber washers that seem to be holding pretty well. They screwed into the holes where I drilled out the rivets really nicely, which I was surprised about.

I wish a new silencer wasn’t 1100 freaking dollars. I got the whole bike for 2000. 08 with 5k miles.

Anyways if anyone has any advice on how I can do this better I’d love to hear it. Thanks!

As shown in the video the bike has a slight bog/lag on low end or when blipping. My thoughts are the fuel pump is sounding off, took it to my local shop and they charged me 100$ said it was the air filter needing more oil creating a lean condition. Get the bike back and it’s doing the exact same as before. Anyone know the fix or have similar issues?

Posted a week or so about swingarm damage and bearings. I patched the damage with JB weld steel stick and got a new chain slider (cheaper eBay one) and bottom roller installed. The JB weld should serve as a good “indicator” for when the chain starts to contact the swingarm again, preventing further wear in to the swingarm.

Completely disassembled the needle bearings in the linkage and regressed (along with swingarm bearings). Linkage bearings had hard dried grease and likely weren’t even rolling.

Cleaned, aligned, and tightened chain. I eyeballed the alignment and ended up with 1/2 notch tighter on the RH side than LH side. I spun the rear wheel with the chain on to gauge the alignment. I could pinpoint the point where the chain changed from angling left vs right, so I feel good about the alignment.

Back together now; next up is fresh fork oil and the I’ll tune in the sag and rebound compression. Should be out on the trails in a couple weeks to see how she rides.

I’m going to look at a 2018 tomorrow, just wondering what potential problems I should look out for on these bikes. Has 9k miles
