warp9

thanks to you guys for leading me in the right direction. i just bought a set of warp9 mx wheels. should be a couple weeks before i get them but ill let you know how they are. made a bold decision and went with a white rim, hope it turns out

LOVE the white rim. Will look awesome fo 'sho!

well im glad im not the only one! haha, i think im going to be painting my blue plastics white. that should help the rims not stand out like a sore thumb

painted the headlight and both fenders, tell me what you guys think. im not finished yet, but i can see the white rims working more now at least

did a little more painting today

I would have waited.

Bet it would've looked boss the way it was.

when you say the way it was, do you mean leave it blue? i just couldnt stand the different color blues anymore. but luckily will still have the blacks to put on.

White wheels, black body.

i agree, i think it will look good that way. i just prefer to have a set of plastics for street and one for offroad. rims should be here thursday :) i have a front pirello mt 21 and d606 rear on the way as well, cant wait

I also bought a set of Warp9 wheels for my WRR. I've noticed a humming/ringing coming from the front wheel when braking with my front brakes. I don't get this from my rear wheel thought. At first I thought it might be because the new rotors and that it would fade/break-in over time, but it hasn't. Do I need to swap over the stupid rubber dampener from my oem front wheels over to my warp9 set?

they got here last tuesday but finally got them put on today, so far im lovin them... but wow, i do appreciate those sm wheels now on tarmac! haha.

Looks awesome! Just got my warp9 dirt rims. Just a note for anyone else: They use the same front hub regardless of bike, as opposed to Yamaha having different hubs with different rotor bolt patterns. Because of this, you cannot use a stock front x rotor on a 21" warp9 wheel, even if you have told them it is for an x. I bought theirs without a front rotor thinking I could use my own. Slight misunderstanding, but they have taken care of it to my satisfaction and sent out a rotor at no charge. Can't wait to try them out!

Agreed! I just started using a set of Wheeling R wheels last week, running D606 tires. Feels a bit weird on pavement, but even with knobbies it corners well on tight twisty roads. But initiating/starting the turn with that big 21" front is noticeably different then the 17" supermoto front. Once leaned over it's fine.

yeah, just takes a little getting used to, man was i spoiled. what psi are you running on the street? i put rim locks in mine, so ive still got to balance the front to try to get some shake down if possible

Got a set of stock WARP 9 size R wheels for my R. Having a problem
with the front rotor. Does anyone know for sure if the stock rotor
and W9 are compatible. Might want to buy a Galfer wave if it fits
the W9.

Bike looks sweet bud. SM and the Dirt rims feel soooo different going from one to the other in the way it handles. I find with the Dirt setup the bike "falls" when you first start to turn. Curious, what endcap do you have on the bike or is it a different pipe?

thanks. yeah i have a DRD exhaust i painted with high temp then 1 layer of bed liner spray.

I bought a set of sm rims for my WRR. It came with a stock size brake rotor.

Does anyone know where I can get a caliper relocation bracket for the WRR?
