That WR450 is THE Bike! I'm impressed... 2 years later.

Thanks for the great insight yet again on your tried & trusted experiences. I've used some of the tips from the 660 Tenere builds & found them to be a great improvement to the bike which helps me to look a whole lot better rider than I actually am !! A participation in one of Greg's organised rides is well & truly on the bucket list. Cheers.

I wish there weren't so many snakes and spiders in Australia. I think I'd move there as I just love the people and their demeanor. Love the adv scene that seems to be there too. Too bad, also, that they lost their right to guns, They seem like they could use them in such a wild place. Selling me further on a plated WR450 as a capable light adv bike.

The animals and insects rarely bother you. I know we will disagree on this and I don't want an argument but our gun laws have saved thousands of people from being unecessarily killed . But I don't want to debate gun laws, this is an adventure bike channel. But you raised the issue and out of honesty to my audience it is important you all know my belief.

Great set up. I have seen people add oil capacity and try to make this a long distance bike. As you say that pushes this bike out of it's spec. I do two days on my WR and it is not as well set up. My 2014 has really bad fuel economy so range is my issue even with a large capacity tank.

What's the maintenance like? Oil change/ filter change every ride? Stress on the road with the high strung gearbox? Seems like a good foundation for an adventure bike, but it doesn't have the longevity and robustness for adv riding.

@SLFYSH7 жыл бұрын
Eddie Kwiecien exactly my question. That is one of the biggest difference between heavier ADV bikes and adapted enduro/MX bikes. Reasonable maintenance vs every 600 mi or less. Has anything been done to make the bike more maint friendly, and was the two day ADV description given because of maintenance needs rather than how much gear you can haul?
@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV7 жыл бұрын
Greg sees this as a 2 to 3 dayer, around 500 to 700 ks and then it starts falling out of its design spec.

I run 8psi rear with 1 rim lock on my wr450f and Never spun a tube. Also never had much fun with the pirelli rear. never gave me teh grip i wanted. The kenda parker carlsbad or parker DT are much better tyres and better wearing. Nice Wr450. Thinking of turning mine into an adv bike. The ktm 690 is not worth the trouble atm.

Never ran the Pirellis but I swear by my Parker DT's for my WR250R. ON Road is great and offroad grip is excellent. Get about 3000mi out of a pair used for adventure riding.

Like what you done with the bike! But I have a problem to hear where you got the top rack from? And where is the cush drive from?
I've been really wanting to setup a MX style bike for true adventure riding -- for me more than likely a KTM 500EXC. Get out more in places that would be impossible on the big 600 pound plus bikes -- more dirt than pavement. Loved the video, but how on Earth are you going to go self-sufficient on this bike? You must have a chase vehicle or something because I can't see you carrying all your gear, food, camp, etc.
