WISECO Fuel Commander upgrade install on WR250R

[@stormin69]

Thanks again for another great install vid! Got my programmer in the mail today and I’m gonna install it tonight 👍🏻

[@bigair0176]

Nice. You should notice a difference for sure. Have you deleted the ais and exup? I can’t remember if you have done the exhaust?

[@bigair0176]

Nm I just saw on my exhaust you were waiting on the emulator for the exup delete hehe

[@stormin69]

Bigair01 ya, ordered the exup eliminator and it will be here in a week or 2...then I’ll put on my PowerCore 4 and mega bomb header ! then onto the cosmetic mods like the taillight 👍🏻

[@bigair0176]

Nice. I did a vid on how to program it as well. You shouldn’t have to tweak it at all but when you have ais and open exhaust you may have to tweak some of your settings. I’m pretty sure I have the settings I have on my vid. I noticed once I put exhaust on had to to change the amount of full throttle and I think the setting when acceleration is engaged.

[@gcoop7144]

Great vid! Don't worry, I'll send you a Canucks hat ASAP!

[@bigair0176]

Haha. Hope your watching the game right now. Season opener! We shall see who has what it takes to win! Haha. Cheers

Hello I going to buy a Yamaha WR250X, I don't want to change the exhaust but what the best mods to get the most out of it? I think to get a power commander 5, K&N airfilter, mod the airflap on the airbox and remove the AIS. Do you think that is a good setup or you have a better advice? Thanks from Michael

[@bigair0176]

Yes all of the above I noticed the most hp and peppiness gain. The exhaust was just a little gain but much more expensive. It was in end mostly the sound with exhaust. Only thing I would recommend different with your plans would be to go with a foam filter. Otherwise ya fuel commander ais delete air filter and air box mod worth the effort and money for sure. Hope ya enjoy the bike. It’s a fun light machine for sure. Cheers

[@Migesson]

Bigair01 I think I am going to put the Power commander 5 on it and when all mods are in place to put it on to a dyno and set it in. So you think the foam filter is much better than the K&N filter? If you compare all the mods you did to it before you put a exhaust on it, does it was a big difference to the throttle response and how the bike drive? Thanks

[@bigair0176]

Yes The Power Commander I believe was the best improvement in over all. I haven't heard anything good about the K&N filter. The foam filter I think would do a better job blocking the dust and dirt entering the motor. I used a No Toil Air filter and its holding up pretty good. No complaints.

[@Jollyswagman7]

I’m trying to figure out which programer to go with. Why did you go with the wiseco and not fmf. Altitude ,ejk. or any other brands? Any specific reason? Thanks👍

[@bigair0176]

Honestly all of the controllers you mentioned are basically the same I believe. I never heard of altitude when I bought mine. I went with wiseco cause it was easier to find at the time and the cheaper option I believe if memory serves me correctly. I have had zero issues with the controller. Works great and it’s a decent bolt on to improve the power curve. Easy to set up. You can just plug and play and you will see the difference immediately. In my program vid I have settings I got from thumpertalk to help tweak it a little more.

[@Jollyswagman7]

@@bigair0176 Awsomse thanks buddy.

[@rileyk4939]

I would think that supplying more fuel to the engine is some what pointless if it's still being starved for air. New bikes run ultra lean to pass emissions. I'm curious though to the outcome as I'm commenting at the start of it. My buddy has the wr250x. Cheers!

[@rileyk4939]

I also have this module from wiseco installed on my 636. Love it

[@bigair0176]

After installing this before I did the exhaust I noticed the most power improvement even more then the exhaust upgrade I did later. I would totally recommend this mod if someone didn’t want to spend the 800 on the full exhaust. It came with no need make adjustments. When I did the exhaust I made a minor adjustment to only one setting. Cheers

[@pnwwanderers2057]

Do these kinds of mods void warranties on bikes like cars? What kind of warranty do they have new?

[@bigair0176]

Devin Stout I would think if you don’t have a mechanic install them then yea it would void any type of warranty. But I don’t think they come with much a warranty off the shelf. You could check the local dealer to be sure tho

[@michalaugustyniak6449]

I noticed some Wiseco FMC141, you can buy with 4 wires and some with 10 wires. What’s the difference ? I am looking for wr250r 2018.

[@bigair0176]

Michal I am not to sure. But my guess is you can only buy the one WISECO controller for the WR250R. If you are going off the photos and counting the wires then I would say that the picture may be for a different bike. But if there is more wires for the controller it will be for more options for programming the fuel delivery. Mine has only 4 wires. It had two plugs that basically was just plug and play. WISECO support may be able to answer your question better. But I would say you can only buy the one model for the WR250R. Hope that helps. Cheers

[@michalaugustyniak6449]

Bigair01 thanks will contact support to make sure. Best!

[@EnduroBroscc]

@@michalaugustyniak6449 Michal, do you have this programmer on your 2018? I'm on fortnine.com and it says it only works with like 2008-2016, doesnt say anything about 2018.. i dont think theres much of a different in terms of the bike itself though, maybe they just forgot to update the compatibility on their site. let me know because I have a 2018. thanks

[@michalaugustyniak6449]

Gizake i do not yet

[@TheJerryRiders]

I live in Edmonton and I’m looking to buy a wr250r in the spring. Would you recommend getting a larger front sprocket for better fuel mileage on the highway?

[@bigair0176]

I caution you on replacing the front sprocket. I have heard of several stories of people putting an aftermarket front sprocket on and stripping the splines. This is something you have to watch to make sure the nut isn’t slipping and backing off. But I mean my bike right now is the stock 13 with 47 rear and I can still do 100kmh no problem. Just revs a bit higher is all. Just depends on how long of highway commute you will be doing.

[@TheJerryRiders]

@@bigair0176 well my commute to work is half highway 16 and the rest is city streets and I was just tryna thing of a way to make it more fuel efficient on the highway since I do want to take a few road trips this summer on a bike. So I would need a bigger tank for sure. But I like the videos your putting out my friend. Looking forward for more!

[@bigair0176]

@@TheJerryRiders thanks. I still have mods I want to do. Just with Covid and finding parts it has been a little slow. Thanks for your feed back. Glad to help

[@danielhobbs74]

Wondering if you still have the instructions/owners Manuel for the Wiseco fuel programmer, having some troubles with mine, anyway you could email or dm me some pics of it?

[@bigair0176]

I do. Are you on the fb wr250r owners page?

[@danielhobbs74]

No I’m not, if you could dm me pics of it on Instagram, my user is daniel_hobbs_74 it would be a big help to me

[@bigair0176]

Done!

[@jonathontsamantanis]

I thought these bikes had a built in adjuster for the efi

[@bigair0176]

They are fuel injected. But the controller allows you to adjust it manually. Right out of the box it was better. And with some minor adjusting I managed to get it fine tuned. I wish I had a dyno to be able to compare.

[@jonathontsamantanis]

@@bigair0176 Ok, I remember someone showing me how its factory set to run lean and you can adjust it to -5 or +5 which is pretty cool, but yeah a programmer is optimal

[@bigair0176]

@@jonathontsamantanis between this and gearing the bike really woke up. Exhaust was a nice addition but it made minimal gains.

[@jonathontsamantanis]

@@bigair0176 Yes I just got mine, (BIKE) not gonna bother with the exhaust but gearing change is a must and will lookin to the commander

[@bigair0176]

Well congrats on your new ride. I have tons of vids on the wr250r and not done either haha. I have an addiction modding this thing. Keep the shiny side up. Cheers!

[@KevDoesStuff]

Hey man, curious what settings worked best for you?

[@bigair0176]

Hey dude. I have a vid on my channel on how to program your fuel controller. The settings in that video is what I have run for 3 years basically. It has worked flawlessly. Just remember the settings I have on my bike are all at sea level. So it may be different depending your elevation. But if you close to sea level you should like the settings I have. Hope that is helpful for you. Cheers

[@KevDoesStuff]

@@bigair0176 I just saw that video after this, sorry man lol! Thank you!

[@pnwwanderers2057]

So does anyone know what the factory warranty is like? Is there one at all?

[@Rayraymai]

So if you get the wiseco commander rhen you dont need the 12oclcock exup servo right?

[@bigair0176]

Effulgent Exterminating the fuel commander helps with the lean fuel that the stock settings come with. The fuel commander will help with the amount of fuel and hp output. The exup emulator from 12 ocklock labs plugs into a plug that is connected to stock exhaust. The exup system is for emissions. If you don’t plug the exup emulator in it will give a an engine light code.
