Got my new WR450!!!

[TORTURECHAMBERS]

Rode it briefly on my trails in my property and I can feel the beast within. ? I took out the insert and I got the YZ throttle stop screw to be switched. Pulling the snorkle out and putting on the guards, heavy duty tubes etc before going on a killer ride next Wed and Thur.

In the short ride I did I can tell this is the best bike for the Big Island... ?

As I was flying to Kona to pick up the bike I snapped this shot of the west side of Molokai. That white water down there is the result of waves with 40 foot faces...Big Waves...

I remember when you first started posting and were homeless.

Glad to see things have turned around for you.

Congratulations on your new bike.

[ZEKEDAWG]

How many bikes do you have?

[TORTURECHAMBERS]

How many bikes do you have?

03 KDX 220

05 WR450

04 XR 650L

05 YZ 125

04 CRF 250X

05 TTR 125

When its a long highway ride with some exploring I take the XR650L. For Big Island riding all around I got the street legal WR450. For blasting around in our property I ride the CRF250X which is street legal too. My wife will ride the TTR125 and I'll play on it. The YZ125 is for Oahu trails. The KDX 220 is for a back up bike. I've only rode it once up a hill for someone.

Thanks Beez... Come ride it... ?

[beezer]

Someday I'll take you up on your kind offer.

And I guarantee you'll get some more practice riding your KDX up hills for some main land howly.

Does howly work in that sentence? I got it from a Hawaii 5-0 episode and always wanted to use it.

BTW like I said come out and visit NYC and beezerland. We don't have anything like you have but we have our own torture ride.

[ETP]

Welcome to the blue side TC! You're going to love riding that bike in the tight technical stuff! Keep the pictures coming!!!!! ?

[Indy_WR450]

Hey TC great to see you on our forum! ?

What happened to the new CR250X? ?

Or do you buy a new bike every 6 months? I know you know how to drown them. ?

[MudDawg_SK]

How much is removed from the throttle stop screw??? I'm trying to ifnd the list of free mods for the WR450.

Thanks!

What happened to the new CR250X? ?

Still ride it whenever I go to the Big Island. Its my "Yard" bike. I ride it in my yard. Its a great bike for my 10 acre 1/2 forest 1/2 lawn property. I have lots of fun with it... ?

[timcook]

I was told by several members here to remove 11MM. I cut mine earlier this week. I was so careful to not remove any more than 11mm that I only cut about 9-10mm and it now has almost more throttle than I can handle!!!!!!!! ??? I found that cutting it will save you $12 to $13 over a YZ screw.

I don't know the overall dimension after the cut is made though??? Anyone???

[MudDawg_SK]

Thsnkd for the tip. The saw is coming out tonight!!! :-)

Can you tell me about pulling out the 'snorkle' (where, how, etc)? What are the 'heavy duty tubes' about? ?

[MudDawg_SK]

I figure that the snorkle is the dual 'tubes behind the battery going into the airbox. They would cut down the airflow significantly.

[beezer]

Thats it. The airbox also needs to be opened up and I cut the throttle side number plate opening to get better airflow.

The instructions are on the 250 WR FAQ section.
