silly question for enduro society. I wana have fun in woods and do some soft enduro. at the same tie I don't like heavy bikes, but want it to be reliable as hell haha so my choice is in between yz85lw - JERKY, but 70kg like a nice pit bike! maybe I'll fall in love with 2 stroke?=) wr250f/yz250fx - HEAVY but predictable 4 stroke, puffy as hell! maybe I'll adjust to it's weight?=) any opinions ?
@freedombehindbars4 ай бұрын
Weight is only an issue when picking a bike up regularly....(Hard Enduro) The Heavier bikes are planted and steer sharp so make good woods/single track bikes, but can do a bit of everything else aswell. Forget the 85's they're made for tracks etc /wide open throttle.. . Lack of bottom end soon become annoying. The wr250f is the all round bike, reliability and performance, don't feel heavy when moving 5mph+, but not as light feeling as 2Ts when crawling.... You should consider a beta X Trainer 300 (7/8ths size bike) slightly lighter and lower than the 4t's, can add RR front pipe and a couple of free mods to make it a weapon... Characteristics of a light 2t, But torque of the bottom like a 4t.....😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIKoh42CgLGdjbssi=p9CS9St-MQNCIRKe kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6nHZ2Z3q7aNitksi=Vv_zTwSKe8oW8Wz-

There's a 250 as well, but no so powerful with stock exhaust, check them out on YT. You can then add the RR exhaust to make it a wee ripper. Never owned an 85, and wouldn't bother messing with it, would just upgrade to the next level bike.👍

It's going well so far. I forgot to disconnect the battery and almost bump started the bike taking the clutch springs out. Then I dropped a washer into the clutch basket but eventually managed to fish it out with a magnet. Then I snapped a bolt because my old torque wrench is out of spec. 🥲

@@6Twisted stock maps as the difference between them is deal for me. Adjusting the mapping has minimal change to power output, (the increments are are fine and range is small- just how it delivers will feel different.) You could fit an exhaust/ power filter kit and map to suit, gaining 5-7 hp as per yz450f Vs Wr. The clutch will have been designed such that it can handle that and more.

@@freedombehindbars Oh there's a huge difference between fully advanced and retarded timing. Fully advanced it power wheelies in 5th, fully retarded and it will barely clutch up in 4th.

Hi Bud, No it doesn't in my experience on the 450, it would eventually at some point but a few 1mm washers won't be enough to cause it to slip. I would say the 250's probably have lighter springs to start with and from feedback on wr uk forum, 1x1mm seems to be ideal for them. I use 2x1mm on the 450 for approx 20% lighter... that will probably feel similar to 1 washer on the 250's.

Was Rob Ord (hopefully got that right, correct me if I'm wrong it's been a while) I believe who owned it, we used to pay a fiver back then 🙂 Honestly thought it hadn't been used for years (by the looks of how grown in it was) and due to lack of access with train station and new house builds close by. We only popped by for a look (curiosity) for about an hour.... Seen 3 other bikes but that was it ... So yes, technically got permission years ago 😅 Hopefully that still counts😯😁
