jumping the wr

https://2img.net/h/i155.photobucket.com/albums/s305/jacque372/IMG_2715.jpg?t=1253148767took the wr to the rock and ride this weekend jumps pretty well needs stiffer springs and some revalving to be a great bike to play around on at the track

Great fly! I can't say my suspension is bad; I took it for an incredibly technical ride yesterday that left my arms and legs like noodles. I never did have to bleed the forks, although poor Rob did with his mighty XT.

I've jumped it but I find that it is fairly nose heavy. I've got to get back on the seat a good bit on the launch. My son's WR250F is much easier to jump.

Herky

Hahaha. I'm really liking this thread!

More pics plz


*i haven't found a close spot where I can play around. Usually it's out in BFE....(ok, mostly it's because i suck)

If I was going to do more jumping, I would have to get some work done to the suspension. I guess if I were 6'4" and 130 pounds the bike would be perfect.

i'm 6' 230lbs i use all of the suspension on the landing

Well if you are landing flat I can see why. Try some doubles or a
tabletop and land on the back side and it can be smooth as butter when
you land. It's those single jumps or over jumping a double or tabletop
that are killers. Just make sure you get a good feel for where your
bike's center of balance is before you hit it hard. Like I said above,
the bike seems pretty nose heavy and has a tendency to dive on a
constant throttle input over a jump. And above all else, be careful out
there and know your limits!

even landing downside the suspension bottoms out it's just to soft for most of the jumps i was hitting it bottoms out on breaking bumps but this can be fixed have some suspension work lined up i will keep you informed i have one pic of me landing not a good one but you can see the compression

landing and jumping correctly is not a issue for me once the suspension is done it can be rode on a mx track all day

That's not the R².....

no it's the yz250

Looks like "ET" without the moon in the background.

Might try more rear spring preload (make sure you don't exceed 4" "racing sag") + higher compression damping setting front and rear, also possibly heavier front fork oil before spending $$ on mods.
