1992 Yamaha WR200 on the Forest Trails

[@krazed0451]

The FMF pipe really brings these things alive.

[@GermyBallswell]

Damn this bike sounds so crisp. i cant stop watching this

[@r0ckworthy]

Amazing video. Absolutely great sound quality: both in terms of the bike sounding good and the recording of the bike is done properly.

[@-FRYXELL-]

One of the absolute best videos on the internet.

Owned one myself, awesome Bike..

[@JJM-f3h]

I had a wr200r. Fouled plugs about once a month riding every weekend and some days after work. A student in my tech school class at the time was actually a service manager at a local shop. He told me how to check the jetting, I swapped the main, pilot, and adjusted the needle as he told me. I could go a year and then swap the plug. I ran 108 race gas and klotz bean oil. I had installed a pro circuit pipe, boyesen reeds, answer roost boost, tsubaki oring chain. The bike would fly. It would leave my friends wr250r on the roads impressively. I guess the 6th gear. And make a friends kdx200 look very sad on the road. I would climb some insane hills and vert too. I never flipped backward hillclimbing. I will say it could have had a better pair of forks but they sufficed. Should have never let it go.

[@Ch4llenger440]

Yeah Im running '89 YZ springs and have an extra pair of '91 YZ125 forks for my second WR200 build

[@JJM-f3h]

My opinion yamaha should have never put pink /magenta in the graphics and many more would have sold in usa.

[@deborahchesser7375]

@@Ch4llenger440that sounds like my 86’ IT200 with 85’ YZ250 suspension, 151/2” ground clearance and 40” seat height, she was tall. And with motor work and a full exhaust 3 gear roll on wheels were no sweat. I love that WR too, the IT’s predecessor thanks for the vid

[@JacobELee]

@@JJM-f3hthat’s not entirely true because kawi use to run the pink graphics back in the 90s as well, it was the times

I love the sound of a 2 stroke and I love to see it throw a rooster tail when I was younger I was a pretty decent rider but I’d wreck more then I should have cause I was always looking back at that rooster tail 😂 awesome bike that thing digs

[@Luske74]

sounds healthy , not stock , but whats done exept the pipe ?

[@Ch4llenger440]

Its a stock bike. Just the pipe and the engine in good condition. Had boyesen reeds but they dont do much. Stiffer front springs is a must for me in this bike('89 YZ125/250 springs). Running a bit leaner than OEM jets. Slightly ported cylinder, just a basic flush. FMF pipe adds the most.

[@lifeinventa9035]

​@@Ch4llenger440 Hey! Sweet WR! I got a minty restored 92 WR200 with stock Yammy exhaust and silencer. Frame rails are clean as a whistle!! What FMF expansion chamber and silencer (model) do you recommend?

[@Ch4llenger440]

@@lifeinventa9035 FMF pipe number 020133, silencer number is 020256, now they are selling Powercore 2 which is a newer silencer, the one I have is an older version, Powercore 1

[@Tyyppi_vika]

How is this bike compared to an 125 2stroke?

[@Abdullahiagron]

please can you tell us what modifications you have made to this engine as it looks very aggressive when driving and the sound it emits tell me exactly

[@Ch4llenger440]

You dont need any mods except FMF exhaust and engine after high quality rebuild, then correct jetting. New rear MX tire helps with that aggresive style too.

[@Abdullahiagron]

@Ch4llenger440 thanks for the info! Hi, I'm interested in the engine, is everything original and the gas carburetor, the revolutions are beyond the limits of a WR 200, since I also have one like that?

[@Ch4llenger440]

@@Abdullahiagron Engine has thinner cylinder base gasket, ports flow and basic porting without touching the ports timing. Used to run boyesen reeds but now Im back to oem reeds. Most important thing is a high quality bore and sleeve with perfect ports match if youre running on a sleeve. If you have nicasil in your WR then it shoulk be in perfect condition, correct piston size and clearence is a key. Im using Wossner con rods, pistons and running on a sleeve. Currently running 180 main jet, which is 30 down from original 210 jet on OEM Mikuni 30mm carb. It works well for my location.

[@Ch4llenger440]

@@Abdullahiagron Ive been into these DT/WR bikes and building engines for 10 years so its simple for me at this point. After messing around with the base gasket and after engine rebuild you should always check the squish, in these engines I try to aim at 1.5mm. I could show you the porting at the base of cylinder which I have, but its not possible to post pics here, its really simple just smoothing out everything at the bottom for better flow. Really a well put together engine is a key and all the other advancements are just small extras.

Are you sure that’s a WR200? Looks and sounds more like a YZ250WR

[@freakyfreerider]

Deff a 200

[@doyler4420]

That is 100% a wr200..I have one with a full fmf system and it sounds exactly the same.plus the seat is a dead giveaway

[@armandov2424]

Would you still recommend this bike? Found one for €1200, looking for a lightweight road-legal enduro to be a jackass on trails and rocks.

[@Ch4llenger440]

Sure. I recommend this bike big time. No other two stroke like this nowadays. Its just that after 30 years they usually need some work. Mine is after a rebuild.

@@Ch4llenger440in Europe they sold a limited edition wr250 2t, it’s a yz250X with a street legal Kit and papers, it’s the best enduro out there if you don’t want a ktm

[@enduroridehd1835]

Didn't know that model. How much HP?

[@Ch4llenger440]

It says 32 in the specs. Not sure how close to real hp that is as the OEM exhaust really bogs down the top end. Mine has an FMF which is a big improvement. Basically goes the same as '89 YZ125 but has a different power delivery.
