I'd like to try out a modern 250f - it's been a while. You definitely need to stay on top of them a bit more than a 450... however... just because a 450 has more low down torque doesn't mean you should ride it low rpm. You're still at risk of stalling without good clutch control. It's also pretty hard on engine components torquing it like that. I'd suggest to keep the RPM's up like you do on your 250, you'll find it to be smooth.

@evanwilliams6352
3 ай бұрын
been a while since I run a CRF450. I rode a 2018 CRF450RX not long ago and a 2004 CRF450R a while back. Both of those bikes were quite different (as I would assume they would be) The suspension on yours is going to be quite a bit stiffer, causing you to bounce off of little rocks and roots that would be absorbed instead. This helps keep your tire on the ground and remain in traction. if its too stiff all day it will tire you out faster. However the WR isn't so soft as to be running low in the stroke, it's actually quite a lot stiffer that a lot of guys will run their 300 2 strokes. In my opinion though, those are too soft and don't allow you to be an aggressive rider. I think the biggest difference that you're going to have is in the clutch itself. Ive ridden a CRF250X with a recluse and it changed the bike completely. Once you're up and moving the bike felt mostly "like itself" but gear changes and aggressive clutch actions to upset the bike the way you need to sometimes were just not there. I'd say because of your clutch, I can't really compare yours to mine. The biggest issues that 450 riders have in tight woods is the likelihood of stalling, and how you need to operate the bike to keep it going forward. Your 450R is going to have a really tall 1st gear which would have you slipping the clutch all day to keep it running, where the WR has a 1st gear that is almost half of your 1st, so it makes tighter stuff much more enjoyable. I did find that the CRF450X that I rode would stall super easy, any sort of load just above idle would stall it (one time in mid air on a little vertical bank jump) however it could have been old gas as he didn't ride often, so I don't want to discredit the bike for that.

@evanwilliams6352
5 ай бұрын
the DRZ took a lot more input and wrangling to get it to do what you wanted it to do, but it would throw down if you asked it to. The DRZ is a heavier bike with less power, but still plenty for most things. The WR is a much more aggressive and responsive bike in comparison, but it's way harder to find its limits (if it even has any) compared to the DRZ. The DRZ is softer suspension, so it'll try to blow through a corner or wash out as it'll be way higher in the stroke, where as the WR holds its form way better. Also, I found that first gear was close to the same (DRZ might have been a touch taller) but 4th on the WR isn't much sorter than the DRZ 5th - and the WR still has a tall 5th gear. I honestly never get to 5th as I'm always on single track, and even if I find myself on a windy gravel road 5th is a bit luggy, so it's probably great for straighter fire roads.

@@nosyjoe I would say that a corked 450f does feel kinda similar to the DRZ400. It still had good torque down low where not a lot of air flow was needed, but fell flat in the mid - upper RPM due to the restricting airbox and exhaust. A DRZ is a bit flat on top as it's a long stroke cylinder and doesn't like to rev like a modern short stroke race bike does. I haven't ridden a modern 250f (ridden plenty of carbureted ones) but I bet it felt slow because you were probably trying to use the torque of the motor to drive you. a 250F needs to be rung out like a 2 stroke, high rpm, and once you're there they pull pretty hard.

Adding a fan is quite necessary for tight single track. There were only a couple spots on these trails where a fan would be nice, but not necessary. But when it gets tighter, rocky and technical it's absolutely necessary. it's possible that you might need to richen your A/F mixture to cool it down if its running too hot even with some airflow. If your bike is popping a lot on decel you know it's running a bit too lean. Either way, get a fan. Keeping your engine cooler and not overheating will greatly extend the life of your engine.

@evanwilliams6352
8 ай бұрын
I've never been big into motocross but I have gone to the tracks and have built big jumps in the past. (before I took an 8 year hiatus - I don't really jump anymore) biggest tip I could give you is to look where you're heading. Stay on the throttle while exiting the jump, either a consistent throttle or accelerating (blip) off of the jump lip. If you let off of the throttle you'll slow down and nose dive. This is why looking at your destination (where you're going to land - or where you think it might be 😅) is so important. When you come to the tip of the jump and you find yourself staring at the peak and not where you're going to end up, you'll naturally let of the throttle, which then throws your weight forward. The issue intensifies if you let off of the throttle as soon as the front tire leaves the jump, the rear tire will slow down significantly and act as a pivot point which drops the front end down. Try practicing on little bumps in the road (say a foot tall) and notice how your bike reacts to throttle inputs when you go over the bump. (keep in mind speed has a lot to do with your outcome) if you stay consistent over the bump what happens? if you let off at the last second what happens? if you give the bike a little blip what happens? try these on the same bump at different speeds and see how the bike reacts.

Interesting I didn't realize that a 2018 was old enough to not have an electric start. Must have just missed it. It's funny that you run dual fans, I was considering doing that and had looked into it but didn't see anyone else doing it. The way I see it is if you can keep the engine in its optimal operating temps you'll prolong the life of the motor. I'm going to look into it more now 👍 It's amazing I've even watched video's where people are flat out against radiator fans because they can drain the battery... which is nonsense as the motor generates electricity to run the fans as the motor is running... it's like saying you don't want to use the lights in your truck as it draws power from the battery.. Anyways I hear ya, I'm a sucker for the 4 stroke power, but keep in mind my backup bike is a 2000 RM250 which is way more "2 stoke at heart" than the modern 2 strokes are... I honestly think that the modern 4 strokes are a closer resemblance to old school 2 strokes - whereas modern 2 strokes are like super lightweight "oldschool" 4 strokes. I feel like they reversed roles. I've owned many oldschool 4 strokes and never cared for them, the older 2 strokes were way more exciting.. Now in current times the 4 strokes are way more lively and the 2 strokes kinda feel sluggish (even though they do absolutely rip) but you have to ask it to do so. Wow, I'm blabbering on..

when you ride a 4 stroke at the lowest RPM while applying some load to the engine you will hear some noise, as the computer would start advancing the timing a bit as you apply throttle, but the RPM's are still too low to take advantage of that. The cycle then "fights itself" and creates a huge spike in pressure (usually this is when you stall) It's also possible that your spark plug has some buildup on it, creating hot spots and "dieseling"... a loose timing chain is more of a rattle, or crackling sound, rather than a knocking sound. Keep your oil changed frequently and don't use old gas.

I'm leaning towards saying no, I think a WR250F might still be the better way to go. This depends on what you'd like to do with the bike though. I don't know anyone with a WR250F but I have a feeling that the 450F takes a bigger hit on power being corked than the 250f would, as the corking is the same but the 250f already breathes less due to its size anyways. I haven't had the chance lately to try a more modern 250F but have ridden quite a few in the past. If you're new to riding a 250f is plenty of bike (I'm not new to riding and I still almost went for the 250f honestly) reason being is that modern 450's have a ridiculous amount of power these days, which will hinder you as a rider if you're not prepared for it, and even if you get used to it as a new rider it'll be your crutch to rely on that power when you ride a bike with less. I think a WR250F would be best for a new rider, it's going to be tamer and easier to control, this will help you build confidence and skill as a rider. Once you feel that the corked 250F isn't enough power you can uncork it and it would be a bump in power, and honestly enough for most riders. It could take you years to outgrow that power. Perhaps by then you could go up to a bigger bore, or you'll have ridden enough and made some friends who have 450's and could try theirs.

To uncork a current WR - you need to remove the air restricter in the air box (it uses soft plastic rivets so it breaks off with your bear hands) you need to remove the dB reducer in the tailpipe (drill out two rivets) and you need to buy the GYTR ECU $200 which comes with a shorter throttle stop screw so you maximize throttle movement (or you can just cut the factory screw shorter which is what I did, because I rode the bike for 10hours "corked" while I waited for the ECU to arrive, but I wanted full throttle motion) the ECU is located under the gas tank and mounted to the backside of the air box (as the air box is now on the top/front of the bike), it's a pretty simple procedure.

I would like to see what it looks like too, I don't have the WiFi module to link to my phone, not yet anyways. It'll likely be something I purchase this year. Perhaps there are photos or videos on the internet of what the GYTR ecu maps look like from factory, as I haven't changed the maps.

There’s a bunch of mild maps on the forums for the 2012. Never had a problem with the popular maps for the 2012 model. Usually ran it on aggressive though.

Great vid! I just bought a 22' wr450f and I'm having trouble finding parts. This might be a stupid question but do you know if it's the same as the 2020? I ask because some of the sites for parts only go to 2020 for the WR450. Seems like the gytr ecu and fmf exhaust are all OOS on the sites I've looked at. Thanks!

I’ve been doing a ton of trail riding on my T7 and posting videos regularly. I’ve wanted to add a WR to the garage alongside it though for a few months now just for the more ‘knarly’ days and also just so I have the confidence to try more technical stuff. This video has not helped that itch one bit 😂😂 Hopefully this year I can pick one up 🙏🏼 Fair play and enjoy

I would love to have a T7! you'll love the WR if you decide to get one. They're quite capable machines, I take mine on all the rides when everyone has their 300 2t out, not an issue for me. Check out my other video "can a WR450F single track?" I talk a bit more about how the bike performs 😁

@@evanwilliams6352 Nice one, I will check that out. What I’m ideally looking for is something that handles single track a bit better. If you watch any of my own videos you’ll know what I mean 😂. The T7 is such a fantastic machine though, for what it is it handles so much so bloody well. But the WR will hopefully be obtained this year 🤞🏼

Looking for opinions here. I've been out of a bike for about 4 years now and looking to get back into it. I see you mentioned you're 6' 200ish. I'm about 6'2 240lbs and have been on the fence between a wr450 vs a ktm 300xcw. My concern is my physical weight. I don't want to be bogged down, but kind of feel like the 450 might be "too much". Is a 450 too much, or is the 300xcw plenty?

@evanwilliams6352 so the video showing it corked was without the throttle screw but the other things still in place Did you ride it with the screw in at all and if so, what was it like?

Absolutely it can , now does it take more energy to ride than a real trail bike like a 250 or 300 2 stroke thats tune for lower RPM use with nice soft suspension, yep.

The KYB suspension is super nice. And it's softer setup than a track bike. After riding last weekend with 5 other KTM's and one guy was a small time suspension Guru, talking to everyone about suspension setup, possible rebuilds to make them better for their riding style, Lucky cartridges, air forks sticking etc. then pointed at my bike and said "but you just can't beat the KYB setups from factory, you're good to go".. I might play around with it, go softer, then harder, see how I like it. Otherwise I don't feel like I need to touch it at all.

@@evanwilliams6352 i pretty much take it as a given that all bikes need springs and valving to be correct for most riders. Even really good suspension like your kyb is seldom set up for the rider weight and ridding skill level and what kind of ridding he or she is doing.
