I've used it on the WR and a DR650, makes wiring super easy

I have the Eastern Beaver 3CS on my DL650 and love it. I use it to run heated gear and a 12v outlet. I have not hooked up a 3rd circuit to it yet. I keep thinking one would be nice for the WR. I just had not ordered one for it yet and wondered if it easily fit under the seat.

Not 'easily', but it certainly fits.

thankyou for the info, i'll check into it

Hey guys, I am currently still running the stock gearing, 13/43 I believe? How much higher can I go on the rear sprocket (safely) and still keep the stock chain? I would like to have beter gearing for offroad but also still be able to comfortably cruise at around 65-70. Is this possible? Thanks for any replies.

Hi,

Does anyone know of any differences between the 2008 model year WR250R and the 2012 or 2013? I've found an 08 with very low mileage for a good price I'm thinking about buying.

Thanks

There a few internal parts that are different, like a different crank pin and one of the crank bearings. Long story short not much, if you found a good 08 buy it in a heartbeat!

Yeah...downfall of southern NJ. All the sand I want....but no mountains, hills, or any real actual dirt. I was envious watching Dakar, thinking how cool hills would actually to be to ride.

Hi,
There are no major differences for '08-'12. Some '08 had fuel pump problems, mine has not had any issues. Changes where all cosmetic, some say the new ones with the gold forks are faster, I don't know, I'm not good enough a rider to need a faster gold forked WRR.

If it's any consolation, there are no hills in the UP either.

I asked this earlier but I guess no one saw my post

, but can I run the stock chain if I move up to 13/46 gearing? Thanks!

thumpididump · 01-25-2013, 06:53 PM

Yes.

according to this http://wr250rforum.forumotion.com/t5...-and-sprockets

No pretty sure 45 is the max depending on tire with stock chain.

skierd · 01-25-2013, 07:02 PM

No, you'll need a 110L chain for a 13/46 combo. 45 barely fits, but is much happier with a 110L (its what I'm running currently).

thumpididump · 01-25-2013, 07:13 PM

For some reason, I was thinking stock chain was 110 links, but now I remember it's in fact 108. I can't imagine 108 will work with 13/46. Sorry.
