Questions - Just bought WRR

I just purchased a 2008 WRR for dual sporting and light street riding. Is there a list of what WRF parts fit? Thanks again.

Also wondering if there are any good "free" ways to cut down the stock fender. Thanks

Here is a pic, anyone active on this forum?

James,

I cant think of any interchangeable parts between the R and F except for fluids. You might be able to 'make' some stuff fit, but they are pretty different. Lots of guys do a 'free' front fender mod, just nose around in the mod threads. ADV still has that Hugh Jass WR thread in Thumpers, you may have seen it. Welcome to the fold lots of good info here and an active fleamarket...

Cheers, Rick

Oh yeah, I had Drew at WER do my rear shock. Makes a big difference. Go Race is also highly recommended, but Drew is local to me in NJ....
Maybe you will Join one one of Walter Barlow's multi surface rides in NJ. Good stuff

Cheers, Rick

Thanks for the reply. I know Walter pretty well and have done a few of his rides in the past.
I thought more parts would fit, oh well.

The Kommanders rides are especially fun when Tammy joins.... She can flog that WRR of hers..

It is mine now :-)

Ah so! I didn't recognize it without her draped all over it...

She could certainly ride that thing...

You'll like it. Not too fussy, and goes everywhere.

WR-250F parts fitting a WR-250R?
Well, there's the...

*Oil filter element, although it is installed facing different directions due to a different engine with a different oil filter cover and a different oiling system.

*The WR-250F stock front sprocket will fit the WR-250R, but not vice-versa.
This is due to the WR-250F sprocket having a relief groove cut into the side facing the engine in order to clear the oil seal retainer not used on the WR-250R.

*The rear sprockets will fit either bike as long as the mounting bolts and nuts for the sprocket went with it.

*The tires would fit either bike.
Same for the tire tubes and rim bands.

*The oil inside the engine would work in either bike.

*Depending on the model year of the WR-250F, the headlight bulb (not the glass lens, just the bulb) could be the same.
My 2002 WR-250F headlight bulb is the same one, but the one that was in my (now gone to a new home) 2009 WR-250F was different.

Beside some misc. nuts, bolts, washers, etc., I can't think of anything else.
The two models are different - different chassis, engine, suspension, seat, fuel tank, plastics, the whole nine yards.
Personally, I think it's confusing and more than a bit rediculous somebody made the decision to call the dual-purpose bike a WR-250R.
Probably a marketing team of psychos.
XT-250R sounds more like it to me.

I'm guessing the "free fender mod" question is more about the whale-tail shit hanging off the back of the bike.


Yes - some people have cannibalized it.

Use the search function. I know one guy posted pics somewhere.

here's one <-- clicky

here's two <-- clicky


you can dig through more threads and see if others have posted....

Thanks the reply some great info. Was hoping more parts were interchangable.

Also how many miles to a stock tank?

Thanks!
