new wrr riding tips

I am new to four strokes so I will post this hear,the problem i am having is pulling up the front tire while ripping through trails to sink the back tire in deep holes. I can do it but I dont wont to over rev my new rr. Is this harmful to the motor? Do I need more power? Do I need to change the way I ride I was hauling butt down a trail the other day and came up on a ditch I down shifted and nailed it to no evail and did an indo for abought 20 yardes forcing me to slow down and change my under ware.

The WRR needs to be revved to get to where it makes its power, its a little soft off the bottom.
Dont worry about it tho, the bike can handle being revved hard all the time.
Also the rev limit is 10800 rpm which is about 3000 rpm lower than the 250 four stroke mx bikes, so I dont mind hitting it now and then.

Ive been dissappointed with my bike in this way as well. Recently added a programmer over the winter and waiting to try it out. Sure hope it makes a big diff. I wish the 400f was legal.

The WR-250R (and WR-250X) come stock with ultra-tall geariing via a 43-tooth (42 on the X) rear sprocket.
The 13-tooth front is normal enough.
This is to pass drive-by noise tests that must be met before the bike is produced.
It's not to make the bike great on the freeway.

A typical 250cc 4-stroke off-road bike will come with a rear sprocket of around 48 teeth, at least.
Besides a fuel programmer, gearing the bike down to something realistic will make things better, not to mention off-road-worthy tires.

A reality of doing wheelies or unweighting the front of the bike dramatically on a 250cc off-road bike with this amount of power on tap is to get your butt toward the back of the seat.
That's why you see such long seats on dirt bikes, not for carrying passengers.
Speaking of the seat, this is why dirt bikes have tallish seat heights, too - to keep enough distance from seat to footpegs and to avoid your legs being folded-up so much that you couldn't make such a quick maneuver while riding the bike.
Riding the bike fast off-road means getting physical because the terrain is not smooth.

Like I said, Im waiting to test my programmer. I think my next purchase will be rear sprocket and chain. Been doing some reading on this and was thinking of going 46-47 on rear to loft that front wheel a little better. Does this sound correct?

Sounds like an improvement, for sure.

I have a pipe, programmer and a 50 tooth rear sprocket on mine, it made a huge difference in snap off the bottom for wheelies and stuff.
The 50 is a bit low for road riding tho, but I dont do alot of that and when I do going 50mph is fast enough.

thanks for all the help I am getting some tax money back and will buy the parts wrote abought.
