I’ve got the 2023 i removed all the restrictions that are on the bike from factory I also got the competition ECU and the bigger exhaust baffle as well as the air box snorkel Yha the wr 250f I love mine it’s awsome
Man bless you my friend. I have been torn between the 2. Found a nice 09 wr250f I’m planning to get. Bc the riding I do will be slow, smooth, rough, rocky, you name it, and I want to tractor through it without clutching constantly and on the throttle a lot. But want some speed in the wide open. I’ve heard time and time again the wr250f is the answer.
Hmmm , have ridden both - the older WR-F maybe a little better in the tight stuff sure But the YZ- FX suspension, jumping and taking sharp hits stability is at another level I thought Best std suspension I'd felt on a dirt bike
You make a good neighbor. Most dirt bike owners don't get that neighbors don't mind the sound of a dirt bike, but it is incredibly annoying when that bike owner thinks he has to ring a ding a ding , ring a ding ding, as if the motor might die if he's not hitting the rev limiter constantly while just in sitting in the driveway, constantly.
Yes completely agreed. I always try to keep the noise levels low at all times. I live in a community with elderly people and although most of them like me they may not be fond of the sounds of bikes
They are both awesome bikes! Ride the one that's most fun and you can afford, there will be little difference in times once used to the bike. A yz125 mx bike won't tractor up anything without alot of clutch and revs, but is still capable once used to it and lots of fun.
Oh im sure. But i feel im already having to jump between 3rd and 4th gear a lot on medium speed trails in Michigan (geels). I would prefer a taller sprocket now so I can hold 3rd gear throughout. I still could but I'd be winding out the motor quite a bit
Where can i find the map? I did my own custom mapping by adding fuel and taking away spark timing and it did mellow it down and didn't notice the engine braking so much
That’s because they are two completely different bikes. One is a cross country race bike and one is a dual sport. It’s like comparing a sandwich and a pizza.

The older wr is a real tractor
Man if I primed my yz400f like that it would never start lol
I own a 22 wr250f and the bike is an absolute beast In The woods and on trails . Best bike I’ve ever owned for trail riding.
That's funny because I just bought one too

Totally agree. I have the yz125 as well and like you said it's a bundle of joy
Just change the sprocket on the FX and it will go slow in 1st gear too.

Try the “smooth linear/ slippery conditions” map on the FX and it will lug better. I’ve got the same year WR as yours and a 2018

@@thambu19 type in gytr power tuner then find the photo of maps for a 2015 wr250f and the “smooth linear/slippery conditions” map
@@thambu19 I thought the same thing till I changed the map

They are indeed quite different
I wouldn’t call it a duel sport it’s a wr250f not a wr250r
@@troyza450 agreed. The wr250f is derived from the track bike and i can't believe how amazing it is in the woods
I'm not getting this at all, I have pizza samiches all
the time...
Seriously though, what ID says is true, but there is
a lot more to woods riding than idling up a gentle slope,
both I'm sure are fantastic bikes.
I think a wr250f of the same year would be better than the fx.
I agree
The new WR250F can't do what that older one does and is just an FX with lights.
Ill be honest the new WR is definitely more powerful but I can still feel the FX to be more lively on the engine front
