DJ_VT Posted October 8, 2005 I Have a 05 KX250f It is not reliable I (X) it so I could have road legal in VT. WR250F what is the real Deal don't hold back. I have heard the motors are bomber is it true? Thanx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gauldo Posted October 9, 2005 I dont know about "bomber" but if you do the freemods the bike will have a ton of power. I have found the 02 to have a slight midrange problem but i think that i am the only one. Once you hit the powerbnd you can blow a serious whelie in any gear. i have not raced anything that it couldnt beat in a drag. ex honda 400ex, yz125, blaster, some ktm 200 2smoke. If herd that this bike will do 80 easily w/freemods. Besides if your not riding a Yamy your not riding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vitruvianman Posted October 9, 2005 I wouldn't trade my 05 WR for anything. Well, maybe something, but not alot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dtorbett13 Posted October 9, 2005 Man why go with the yamaha, when you can go Red. Gauldo was talking about never being beaten, let him come drag me and my 250x, out of the box the x is better, not to mention all the extras you can put on it for not a lot of money.

Gauldo Posted October 9, 2005 if i lived in cali i would gladly beat you. Mabey you can beat me in stock form but once the wr is uncorked it can easly smoke you 250x. The extras for any bike arnt much money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you own an X, get otta here! And take all your valves with you! The WR is a very reliable engine, and as said, it can be brought back relatively close to YZF specs for free!

Apriliacati Posted October 9, 2005 Yeah go Red Just look at all the valve posts in the CRF250 section, then come back and tell us how great your bike is. How to adjust valves, who has had valve problems, shimming your valves, its never ending. I told a friend of mine to read Thumper Talk before he bought his, well. he sold his bike 6 months after he bought it because of valve problems. As far as which bike is faster, with the free mods the Wr was a little quicker. In the hondas defense, his bike was brand new when we raced with only a few hours on it. I felt the Honda steered a little better than my WR but then again I have an 01, the newer ones are supposed to be better. This is my second WR, my first being a 98 WR400. These bikes are dead reliable, I had 100s of hours on my first WR, and have 100s of hours on my 250. I don't do much to it as far as maintenace, change the oil a few times,tighten spokes, thats it, just keeps running. There was a time when Honda was number one, those days are over. 2001 Aprilia RSV Mille R version 2002 Ducati 998, Bayliss Edition 2003 Suzuki GSXR1000 2001 KTM 640 LC4 2001 Yamaha WR 250 2005 Suzuki DRZ400, supermotard 2003 Suzuki RM 100, daughters bike 2003 Kawasaki 650 Prairie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
