Relevant Years: 2016-2023

Oem Trim / Test notes:  The WR is a solid well rounded trail bike in oem trim.  Much like the YZF range the setup is very straight forward with no major chassis issues.  We have found good improvements for this bike with setting changes and a revalve of the suspension to suit each riders weight and terrain most encountered.  Especially used with the 2021 + models we have had great success using our Mid Valve Float post assembly.  This Krooz Racing part in the fork allows initial fork plushness to be easily turned into the action.  This results in more grip across the slippery tree roots and unstable terrain combined with a plush feeling thru the handlebars.   The rear shock is valved to match and to suit each riders weight.

Mid Valve Float Post Assembly – The oem mid valve compression and rebound post we have tested to be best suited for high level motocross applications, this is valved much like the firm YZ450/250F range.  In the trails and bush we find using our Krooz Racing Midvalve post assembly allows a much plusher feeling in hand and a setting better suited to Australian trail riding conditions.  Smoother overall suspension with a less harsh feel is achieved with this modification alongside custom valving setting to suit.  This mod is a must do for 2021 model on WR machines.  Some earlier WR models already have this style of mid valve installed as OEM from Yamaha.  We can advise this at time of setup.
