I had this same exact bike back in 2015. Had the ecu, full fmf exhaust + air box mod and I got it up to like 113 on knobbies. Obviously the real gps verified speed would be lower but it was significantly faster than what you have lol.
I got mine probably around the same time as you I love mine I bought it uncorked and it rips it’ll do 111 on super moto wheels I can pull wheelies 4th at 51 no clutch and I don’t have the comp ecu it’s coming in tomorrow I found one on thumper talk id look there it was 550 with the tuner
I own a 2012 wr450f and I agree with your assessment. This was the first year of fuel injection on these bikes and they are generally reliable but definitely need more power, especially if on the street. Luckily I have the competition ecu and tuner, didnt even know they werent available anymore. Im going to keep my bike (probably forever) but the 2024 model has caught my eye.

Thanks for your input. I bet it performs a lot better with the mods you have!
Great 👍
Thank you 👍
Great bike to buy, rstricted not thrashed . The exhaust is fine no problem , remove the throttle stop screw and cut it down , full poweryewww.
Good info appreciate your input!
just sold my yz250f to be able to buy a 2016 WR450F and man i cant wait
the 2016 is a different engine than the 2015 and prior
I have 2016 and it’s savage power uncorked with yz450f exhaust 😮
ECU & a few other cheap mods... My 16 WR450 cranks wheelies from 80mph+ all day. Unbelievable bike.
its so hard to find videos of this bike running with good audio and your audio is super shitty but you can hear all the sounds the bike makes.
😂😂 audio is trash tbh
Just buy a KTM. Job done.
You could buy two wr450s for the price of a ktm lol
Ktm “know the mechanic “ 😂
Job start
@@jdavishornet 😂😂
