[CRF230James]

Wut takes less maintnance? WR250F or CRF250R

[GOorangeNEVERgoBACK]

wr .

[Johnnybmoto]

WR is a trail machine and the CRF is a race machine

[motokid338]

WR definitly

[dorkpunch]

that would depend. wuts maintnince?

[Honda_250f_rider]

The WR will not really less maintenance, but the parts will last longer b/c they aren't pushing 37.5 HP stock (saw dyno's in the dirtbike magazine), they are down to around 27-29 HP stock, so therefore the WR will last a little longer but still needs frequent oil changes and airfilter cleanings, they both need tires, chains etc. So I guess it will come down the what you like riding better after trying them both out and how much $$ you have to spend...

[CRF230James]

i know its gonna need tires and stuff like that but changing valves and things that our more of a hassle

The WR. Search "Valve" in the CR forum... now do it in the WR, see a trend ??

[Honda_250f_rider]

just something I want to say, valve problems on hondas is the past, on my 2006 crf250r I have got one hundred hours before the first adjustment and now 10-15 hours later, when I put in new piston and rings, the valves have not moved. So I think that all bikes will last if properly maintained

Have fun on whatever you get! :applause:

If you search valve in the CR forum you will end up with posts on a power valve because the CR's are 2 strokes. (I had to say something, sorry...)

that would depend. wuts maintnince?

My bike takes wuts maintnince quite well, only at 94 octane though. I buy it whenever I need a new powerband.

[motokid338]

I buy it whenever I need a new powerband.

Im also thinking of updating my powerband to purple.

I've got an 01 yamaha 250f thats only needed to be shimmed once. Find me a honda that you can say that about...

[drab91]

I thought Yamaha Made Pianos?? Ha Ha.. come on guys.. lets not get this thread all worked up like the 1099898779843 other threads about MY BIKE IS BETTER!!

and about the question.. I bought my 250X instead of the 250R thinkin there would be less maintenance.... WRONG... all dirt bikes take and need work case closed.. Dont like it or can not afford it then buy a mountain bike! Wondering if I should have... yeah right

I had over 400hrs on my yz426 and never needed a valve adjust, and yes I can and do ride....

[c91x]

geez ok ok everybody hondas suck we get it but to answer your question the WR would be a more dependable bike and probably a better choice if you don't plan on going to the track

[mkporn]

actually, the honda's are nice bikes and it really just comes down to your history with a manufacture or what color you want when ya buy it new.
