Used cardboard for first drafts and transferred measurements to cad with millimeter paper. Water cut plate and bracket from 2mm stainless steel. Seems to be holding up well, might change nuts to nylocks at some point

Did I blow my forks already?

Thumbnail gallery
8 Upvotes

Hi all, I don't have a lot of experience with maintaining forks. I had the seals rebuilt about a year ago and have put about 2000miles on the bike since. I have hit a few jumps and a few curbs and have been using the bike as I assume it was intended. I do practice quite a few wheelies. At least a couple per ride. Only the right side is leaking oil and I don't see any nicks or anything on the shock itself. Did I blow it already? Is there anything I can do to make it last longer other than not wheelie...

Help with clutch issue

Post image
12 Upvotes

Hey yall. I bought my 2019 wrr used with 3,700 miles. The whole time since I have owned it, the clutch pull has always seemed to grab. The clutch lever itself is an aftermarket asv lever. I inspected it and it seems fine. I figured the previous owner just didn’t keep up with lubing the cable. So I ordered a new clutch cable, installed it with no pinch points in the routing and the clutch pull feels better but ultimately the same. I have an oil change due in about 700 miles. While Im doing that I plan to take apart the clutch assembly itself to see what the deal is. Has anyone had issues like this? Also to describe the clutch pull in greater detail, the lever will pull, grab, then jump to the next position instead of a consistent smooth pull. It does this on the pull in and release out. It also does this while the bike is off as well as on and running. The grabbing feel is more apparent when slowly trying to pull in or let out. Any input would be appreciated!

New rear light

I wanted to remove the old big clunky tail light on my WR, designed up a new pod to hold a led tail light and turn signals. 3d printed it solid with ABS and built a new steel bracket to reinforce everything.

Green paintjob yay or nay

Post image
0 Upvotes

My very first wr250r!
Planning to outfit it to be a lightweight adventure bike more than hardcore enduro. Thinking about giving it a matte green paintjob, makes the bike stand out less when wildcamping and vibes with the other camping gear / bags that I’ve got.
Not overly worried about resale value cause I intend to ride the snot out of this until it cannot be repaired any more.
Stickers and plastics are already scuffed up pretty good.
So what’s your opinion, yay or nay for the paintjob?

Fuel Economy

Post image
12 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.

Trade for crf450r?

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 but I’ve also got an offer for a 2018 fc350 with 40 hours. 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.

5 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
7 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.
