- Purchased a new left over 2012 WR250R last week. Just love the power that the 250 delivers along with the agility and light weight. Put 200 mi. on it already. Thinking about a first oil change. Dealer recommends Yamalube. I personally am a fan of Valvoline 4 stroke conventional with a Wix filter. I have heard the oil does not have the additives that can swell the clutch fibers. Any opinions?
Welcome aboard Rock!
New WWR owner here too.
I'm more commuter than recreational rider but regardless, even bone-stock the WRR feels like a great ride so far.
Fortunately, on this 2014 the off-idle jerkiness I read about is not too bad at all. Plenty of power for my simple needs.
Engine oil, Air filter, Oil filter?
Everyone has their favorites, but if longevity is your goal then the short answer is to use whatever Yamaha suggests in the owner's manual.
Lots of great how-to's on this forum.
Have fun modding the new bike!
