The K&N helps, but i would refrain from the power commander. My buddy said it messed up his compression ratio or something; he said it was better stock. Although i did hear the power programmer helped a decent bit.
@maryguk They both change the air/fuel ratio. The PC is fine, you just need to have it setup by a good tuner with a dyno. You can download maps that are close, but it's best to spend the money and have a competent tuner set it up.
@maryguk question, I'm torn between wr250x & Husky 450SMR?? I'm 6'1" 205 w/gear on. Out of the corners, does the WR have anything, any grunt? I know top speed will be an issue, 250 vs 450, but the 450 will require much more maint. Yamaha engines are practically bulletproof. Ride a yz450f for motocross. Figure, pipe, header, PC, and some other mods will make 250 a lil'more fun as far as throttle response and a lil'power increase. Any advice would be appreciated, PS nice vid, bike sounds good!!
Yeah I have but I have a ktm 525 smr that i usually bring to the track. My Wr is mainly my campus bike, but i went up 4 teeth on the rear and it is much easier to wheelie now, although it did take away from top speed. Great bike though no complaints. Cool video by the way
@maryguk Hi, I doubt mine is any faster really. It could just be the wide angle video. The only performance mod i've done is install an FMF Q4 slip-on, and removed the AIS plumbing. The engine is completely stock.. no flywheel work. Gearing is stock as well.
The ktm must have been a dog.the 250 is slow As shit!

@maryguk +4? Wow. I'm going to leave my gearing stock, but I'll probably add a powercommander and a K&N air filter in the next couple of weeks.

Your Wr looks much faster than mine ,top speed wise. What size sprockets you running? Any fly wheel work?

Have you taken yours to the track?
