I still have my 06 from 06. There are plenty of mods you can do. It’s still my favorite open course bike. Change the sprockets to your riding style, and get the fork springs set for your weight, along with shock spring. Get a lithium battery. Saves about 6/7 pounds, get a slip on exhaust. Saves more weight. 04 YZ450 rear fender fits too if you don’t want the light. Get a Boyesen quick shot 3 works really well. Also the Boyesen water pump. It helps really well with cooling. Chassis flexes much better than the aluminum chassis.

[@dirtniron]

thanks for sharing Nick! it is really great overall bike, specially for a little faster riding

Love the WR 😍

[@stephenmiller5023]

As I only just now stumbled onto your video here , I wanted to chime in with my opinion of my 20 plus year love affair with my ‘99 first generation WR-400 F . Hands down , it’s been the most reliable and Fun Motorcycle I’ve ever owned , and Because I bought it already set up with full Street legal Baja Designs lighting kit , and is Registered for street use , I can ride almost anywhere & anytime of year my heart desires here in San Diego Ca. The Designers of these 5 valve wonders sure as hell hit a home run outta the park in my opinion, and I know they made small improvements or changes each year as they inched up from 400 to 426, & then the 450 models like you have in this video. Aside from religious oil changes & keeping filters clean & only 1 valve adjustment (😳) in my ownership time , it still starts almost every time on 2-3 kicks cold , and still runs like the day I bought it . I’ve personally put over 10,000 miles on it , just using it for weekend desert or mountain trail rides & for almost 8 years in a row did the Annual 2 day , 300 plus mile Anza Borrego Desert Dash races held each year in February. Now I’m 63-1/2 & unfortunately don’t get out as often as I used to or should these days , but from a reliability standpoint I can highly recommend any of the WR series Yamaha’s as long as you take care of them maintenance wise. You get outta them what you put into them. C-ya out on the trails.😎👍

[@sambumanglag6432]

hello Rado' it's been awhile and wanted to know what top " maintenance " concerns of these 07' wr450f should I be aware of after a few years of not riding it ? I've had mine in storage and going to hope nothing has changed too much since the storage. other than doing Oil and Air-filter maintenance, does fuel system( carbs/jets etc.) need to be removed and serviced . also how far until any major " top end rebuild " do these engines require service ? mine is a converted Supermoto but I plan on riding off-road again . thanks Rado ( BTW: I completed most all of the "free-Mods/uncorking " you described from videos you did a few years ago: Huge Improvement ! )

[@richardpanek9705]

I have a 2014 wr450 and its amazing how reliable and tough it is. 300 hours on it and I just changed the chain and sprockets and only 2 valve adjustment and still in spec .

The video is very good. I bought a wr f 450 f 2005 last week and I'm having problems with it. It has pieces that are not original. the hoses in the rear reservoir where the radiator fluid is released, can you make a video showing where they fit?

[@renedelafuente123]

I also have a 2012 wr450f dirtbike fuel injected and I love to ride it a lot. Problem is I'm not too hands on as a mechanic so either I have to take it to my backyard mechanic or to a shop for serious issues. But the shops charge you a fortune and my backyard mechanic just had surgery so I don't want to bother him right now. My question is two days ago I was going to ride my bike, but noticed the header muffler was orange hot and that didn't look right. The bike sounds fine as usual but didn't want to take a chance so turned it off. I'm asking you if you would know what's wrong or what might be wrong since you have one too and noticed your a hands on guy? Thanks for the videos, and any feedback really appreciated.

Love it! I like the old steel frame too. Ive been curious how the WR's compare to my XR 400. I know the Yamaha has more power but I love the simplicity of the air cooled design of the XR. Just wish it were a bit lighter and better in tight single track of course. Would like to see a vid with the WR on really really tight single track!? Congrats on the new bike !!!

[@dirtniron]

thanks Joe, I will do some single trail riding for sure ;)

[@joedart2932]

[@brianmorrison9066]

Get your xr revalve for your riding and weight. I know you've heard it before but it really is the beat mod. I'd take it over a 440 big bore.

This engine is a beast. Particulary its cylinder head with its 5 valves plus a thin squish area offering more power in mid-range. The last model of this manufacture.

*It's all about the squash brothers

[@skikski1198]

You are experienced and it shows. I was just looking at another video and the guy bad mouthed this bike. He was a slow rider that didn't like twisting the throttle or feathering the clutch to gain speed. He had some tuning tech info for elevation, which maybe helpful, but never got into the stock suspension or any other ergos(weight,SAG). Yamaha has continued to make a great reliable product, that in my mind is the paramount of the heap.

[@dirtniron]

thanks man, yea these bikes are well made, I had blast on 2004 and even more on 2019 last year!

[@AdventureMotoEnduro]

i Agree totally ,i jumped off my016 500exc on to a few yz450s and wr450s the 500 just so much balls down low and falls off up top , older carbi 530 had more top end ,, and you are spot on the money ,love the broad power spread really get on let it rev to the moon them WR450s, , lots of things i like about them including the KYB sss forks ,

[@beckers1330]

I wonder how the carbi models compare to the fuel injected ones ??

[@fynn8252]

Hey Rado, I know this is an older video but I had a question about the new version of this bike (2020 WR450F). I'm thinking about selling my KTM next year and perhaps looking into the WR450F. I currently ride on the road to reach my trails and they are about 15 miles away. Some are only 4 miles away and others are 8. If the pavement trip exceeds 20 miles, I will just use my truck. However, sometimes I like the convenience of just leaving from my house to the trails. Long story short, would a WR450F work well as a mostly dirt focused dual sport? Would it do okay on non-highway roads (55mph) for like 15 - 20 minutes? I've done some reading online and heard a few mixed things. People say it's a competition bike not meant for the road and the compression is so high the engine needs rebuilding every 100 hours. Others (like you) speak highly of the machine and appreciate the Japanese engineering. Fuel range is another concern but that should be fixable with aftermarket tank. What are your overall thoughts, can this bike live to be an enduro dual sport? Thanks.

[@dirtniron]

I think it will make a great dual sport for the need you are explaining. I used to have 2019 wr450 and loved that bike. Check out my review on that bike, just do the search on KZbin

[@drumtwo4seven]

My stickered 07 does woods and supermoto equally well.

[@robbalinski1606]

One thing you need to watch out for is the first gen wr/yz450's 04-06 had a lower connecting rod oiling problem, it can take out the engine in a single ride. But good new is yamaha makes all the parts needed to fix it, they just only fixed the problem on the YFZ450 quads only for some weird reason. you change the clutch side case, install the high flow oil pump and oil squirter bullet proof engine after that. my 04 WR450's now street legal and ready for on/off road adventures with a completely brand new engine case's and all.

[@dirtniron]

great info Troy, thanks a lot for sharing!

Hey my friend, do you have any experience with Rekluse clutch system ? Wanting to put one on my 2012 WR. Not sure if its a "must have" or not........

[@dirtniron]

hi Kev, yes I have some experience with rekluse auto clutch and in my opinion its not a must have, its way easier to right with one but its not a necessity. If you have your clutch game under control then you should be fine. I have a rekluse torqdrive clutch on some of my bikes, but thats regular clutch just more durable than other brands.

Upgrading from a KLX 250 which I felt lacked power, even after the mods and a Big One Pipe. Can't decide between a YZ and WR. Il be riding on the road and on trials, no racing. Any advice? Also, how much faster is the Wr450 vs KLX, from setting off to top end? Love your content !

[@dirtniron]

wr450 with free mods is a rocket, way faster than 250klx.. if you want to ride trails and road then wr makes more sense I think

[@donbrashsux]

[@krispewkrem3]

I’ve always wanted a motorcycle since probably 2010…. And no matter what bikes I’ve ridden or test ridden or looked at, I always come back to FZ-09, but i wouldn’t wanna ride it off-road. A WR450, or a Zero FX. Zero is stupid expensive, range kinda sucks, takes too long to charge, and the bike is very lackluster off road. I have a Sur Ron and it’s a blast, but range sucks. Charges quick and it’s cheap. But WR450 is for sure looking like the way to go.

Hi rado, i discovered your channel a month ago and was into dirt riding (although i used to ride on roads). And now im getting a 2016 ktm exc 250 as its second owner. Since i dont know much about 2T engines, which oil/fuel ratio should i use, most guys on forums says 40/1 is better than recommended 60/1, but then why would ktm suggest smth bad for their engines? Im really confused. Also 1 more thing i need to ask, im not sure about this but is there any kind of valve that you need to switch in order to stop fuel/oil mix getting in the carb (i heard that it accumulates and clogs the jets) before you put it in garage for let say a week or two? I’ll be appreciated if you can help me out :)

[@dirtniron]

hi Mehmet, very good bike choice congrats! I would follow KTM recommendation on the mixture ratio. There is petcock (valve) on the tank that you can turn on/off and some bikes into reserve as well. Its on the bottom of the tank, the fuel line from petcock goes to carburetor. hope that helps

I think you will love it! where are you from ? I have 2019 for new several months now and did all kinds of tests, love the bike. Check my recent videos

[@delstephens7441]

I’m in the UK ...

[@WcWGoldbergWcW]

Isn't there alot of maintenance required on the wr450f?

[@akathecanadian]

Not wearing the Dirt N iron shirt 🤔🤔

[@dirtniron]

haha, was in the laundry ;)

[@mootew8735]

Does this also apply to the wr 250??

[@dirtniron]

i think most of it, but of course power is different

[@RedEmpire36]

The power is nowhere near close. The WR250R is slow in comparision. The maintenance,however, is amazing. Valve check is at like 20,000 miles or something crazy like that. It is a very good bike, especially since you can find a good one for around 3.5k. I got lucky and found a supermoto WR450 for the same price. Carb bike, however, and need to change the oil at least 4 times for every one change you'd do with a WR250R. WR250R actually has 6 gears so it cruises better on the highway, but takes forever to get there.

[@porkchopgaming8480]

William Marshall I think he’s talking about the wr250f hahah

[@trentwtf]

what year is your bike?

[@dirtniron]

2004

[@watosmate8935]

I’ve got a 2001 wr400 and it shreds

[@dirtniron]

sounds good bro!

[@Artie6937]

Hmmm I got a 2013 wr450 I ride a lot of single track and harder stuff it’s way too heavy, i would say the suspension is great , the low end torque great, everything else 😕 I just bought a beta350 I prefer it a lot more for the type of riding I do,

[@dirtniron]

that makes sense, I have new video on the way "3 things I dont like about wr" where I will address that.

[@kanjananeamsombut7017]

ปี2012ราคาเท่าไรครับ.อยากได้มากๆ

[@allans7281]

What’s the street legal version of that bike

[@dirtniron]

[@rihs335]

[@dirtniron]

[@rihs335]

[@dirtniron]

sorry to hear that man

[@Dramadelta]

Tip 2007 is the best i have 2006 December but still 2007 has something that my English can't explain it's mod from Yamaha you can fix 2006 like 2007 but its 300/500€ 2 make it sent it at Japanese stores something like that.Anyway i agree with everything except the kilos its heavy i was running with 2strockes back 96' & i think its 2 heavy for very crazy things like Red bull stuff i mean;)lol!

[@dirtniron]

thanks for sharing!

[@Dramadelta]

@@dirtniron sorry for my English but if you know few things its important to avoid aluminium,so all European KTM&more they never put aluminium so all the "old"yamaha before aluminum are good but 2007&a couple models after are very good until aluminum model's came. Specific after 2007 they put this how can i put it hm... its like a metallic nail that helps lubricate.I hope you understand me bro ;)Google it.

[@skikski1198]

I know that place.

[@Xiferr]

i just bought wr450f for $500. needs alot of work, i most likely will be into it for about $14-$1500 at the end of the rebuild, but will be great fun once its finished i hope

[@dirtniron]

thats a great deal! these bikes are so good

[@Xiferr]

@@dirtniron thats what ive been told, i never have owned a wr450. i think i may do a rebuild video on my other channel about this bike. needs piston, head, valve job, cams, cam chain. and new starter i believe, also wiring is a mess. ill get it all sorted out i hope

[@andybishop82]

What year is it?

[@subienate]

Dirt N Iron cool I was looking to trade my 07 Kx250f for an 06 wr450 but idk yet😬

[@findvoltage]

buying 2nd hand parts here in Australia is impossible, no one wants to part out. the bike is way to good, they must be really looking after them or im just to slow at finding them.

[@dirtniron]

this was good find, some 2004 look way worse

[@findvoltage]

@@dirtniron i agree, your bike looked pretty good to begin with, no mods was a hige bonus.

[@55mihael]

Why do enduro bikes have 18 inch wheels?

[@dirtniron]

more rubber, bigger footprint - more traction, less pinch flat, etc..

[@quadlife6282]

Also for getting over logs and rocks easier.

[@davewalton7401]

Its stronger. Made more for resisting damage from rocks.

[@d3tach3d]
