The WR has more bottom end grunt than the YZ. A stock WR (like the one in the vid) is not even close to a YZ in snow performance. Pipe the WR, jet it, and it's a totally different story. Add one or both cams, and a high comp piston and you'll have a YZ beater.
WR stand for wide range, if you knew wat u were talking about u would know wide range means more speed. Close ratio like in the yz have more acceleration, just less speed...... Thats why u will never see anyone race a wr...
To clarify, a wide range transmission will typically give more TOP speed, (assuming the same final drive gearing) but if you gear your 5 speed YZ up, it can have the same top speed as a WR. If you race a modded WR with a YZ on dirt you may have a different result than the same race on snow- until you ride both bikes on snow, you'll never know
I really dont think so lol My Yz takes the Wr / Crf-x to school everytime i race one , and have ridden a few as well and they just dont feel as fast, close , but simply not as quick.
I have a '07 Yz450 and stock gear on the back is 49 , i went down to a 46 and its now like the old 4 speeds but with the extra gear everyone wanted :D i have drag raced a handfull of different bikes including new wr450's and nothing beats it. SO MUCH FUN
WR intentionally have a heavier flywheel and drivetrain to smooth out the power delivery and the power is everywhere. Much better is you are going hard for several hour blasts.
at least the engine wont over heat
