WR250R With Wolfman Motorcycle Luggage

Pictured above is my 2008 Yamaha WR250R project bike with a few new additions from Wolfman Motorcycle Luggage. Currently I have a Wolfman Enduro Tank Bag, a Wolfman Enduro Carry All Number Plate Bag, and a Wolfman Peak Tail Bag mounted to a Pro Moto Billet Cargo Rack. This is an excellent starter setup for carrying things around on your WR250R. I will be exploring a few more options, like saddlebags with side racks, at some point. Stay tuned...

WR250R With Wolfman Enduro Tank Bag

 
Hauling stuff around on your WR250R can be a challenge. Enter Wolfman Motorcycle Luggage. Their Wolfman Enduro Tank Bag, shown above, fits the tank and seat area of the Yamaha WR250R perfectly, allowing you to carry small items in a convenient and easily accessible area of the bike.

The bag features a 4-point quick release mounting system, and the no-skid/no-scratch pad keeps it in place during the most aggressive of off-road riding. It's innovative design allows the bag to sit on the tank and not interfere with the gas cap or the vent hose. Other features include an interior mesh pocket, outter mesh pocket, removable clear map pocket, and key clip. The contents of the bag can be accessed by un-zipping the heavy duty zipper that runs around the top of the bag, and then flipping the top up. An optional waterproof cover is available as well.

You won't find a better tank bag for the WR250R!

WR250R With Wolfman Peak Tail Bag & Pro Moto Billet Cargo Rack

 
The photos above show a Wolfman Peak Tail Bag mounted to a Pro Moto Billet WR250R Cargo Rack. This bag/rack combination works great for hauling things around on the back of your WR250R Dual Sport or Yamaha WR250X Supermoto. The tail bag fits the Pro Moto Billet rack perfectly and is secured by wrapping its four mounting straps around the outer edges of the cargo rack.

For its size, this tail bag holds a lot of stuff! The bags contents can be accessed very easily... you just un-zip the heavy duty zipper that runs around the top of the bag, then flip the top open (see photo above bottom/left). Internally, two straps keep its contents stable, and the top bungee-web is a great place to keep gloves and other things handy when off the bike. An expandable 4" gusset makes room for even more cargo when fully unzipped. The bag is stiff-sided to retain its shape and looks, whether empty or full. An optional waterproof cover is available as well.

WR250R With Wolfman Enduro Carry All Number Plate Bag

The Wolfman Enduro Carry All is my favorite bag for carrying small personal items on my WR250R (and WR250X). The bag fits the number plate area above the headlight perfectly, and is large enough to fit my wallet, cell phone, digital camera, and keys. Installation is super easy via two straps on the top that loop around the handlebar and two straps on the bottom that loop around the lower triple clamp.

These bags mount above the headlight on virtually any dirt bike, dual sport, or supermoto. Thanks to its compact size, the bag is great alternative to a tank bag, and easilty fits lightweight items like cell phones, compact cameras, wallets, keys and extra gloves.

Everything stored inside is easily accessed via the heavy duty zipper on top. A small map pocket is included and can face the rider, stay out of the way on the front of the bag, or be removed altogether.

WR250R FMF Q4 Performance Package

(click photos to enlarge)

This past week we installed an FMF Q4 Performance Package on our 2008 Yamaha WR250R. The package consists of an FMF Q4 Slip-On, FMF MegaBomb Header, FMF EFI Power Programmer, and 12oClockLabs EXUP Emulator.

Installation:
Installation is pretty simple. First you remove the EXUP Cables and Servo Motor from the OEM muffler/mid-pipe, then you un-bolt the OEM header and muffler. We then plugged in the 12oClockLabs EXUP Servo Emulator where the OEM Servo Motor once was, and then bolted up the FMF Q4 Slip-On and MegaBomb header. Everything fit perfectly. Finally, we lifted the gas tank slightly to gain access to where the FMF EFI Programmer Plugs in, then mounted its control unit near the bike's battery. We had the bike up and running in about 45 minutes.

First Impressions:
It took less than a mile of riding to feel the benefits of this package. Gone is that dead spot early in the stock WR250R's powerband, and instead you get instant acceleration as soon as you twist the throttle. FMF claims the MegaBomb header increases power across the full powerband (low, mid-range, and top-end) and my butt dyno confirms that.... acceleration is much better, especially at lower RPM's. As for looks, the whole system looks great on the bike, especially the MegaBomb header, which gradually turns to a bronze-like color.

Sound:
The sound of the system is excellent... louder than stock, but not painfully loud like many of the exhaust systems on the market. In fact, of the four systems I've tried on these bikes, this is the first one that doesn't need a low noise insert to quiet it down. You can thank the technology FMF uses in the Q4 muffler for the aggressive, but not-too-loud, sound the system produces.

Final Thoughts:
After about 250 miles of riding, I think the FMF Q4 with MegaBomb header is the best available exhaust system for the 2008+ Yamaha WR250R. You definitely feel more low to mid-range power, which these bikes really need. Fit and finish is typical FMF, and the system sounds great... it's louder than stock, but not painfully loud like some exhausts. I couldn't be happier with this system and can't believe I waited two years to replace the OEM exhaust!

WR250R with Wolfman Expedition Dry Saddlebags

(click photos above)

I've got my WR250R in sort of a Supermoto Adventure Touring mode right now. I'm hoping to do a Blue Ridge Parkway ride this summer, which will be practically all paved roads, so I'm thinking a luggage setup similar to what's shown above will work.

Here's what I have for luggage...
• Wolfman Expedition Dry Saddlebags
• Wolfman WR250R Side Racks
• Wolfman Enduro Tank Bag
• Wolfman Peak Tail Bag
• Wolfman Enduro Carry All Number Plate Bag
• Wolfman Expedition Dry Duffel Bag, Small

WR250R Project Bike update

Just a quick video update of what's been done to the WR250R Project Bike so far. Click above to watch.... stay tuned for more...

WR250R IMS 3 Gallon Gas Tank

(click photos above)

I've had a few email requests to show close-up photos of the IMS 3.1 gallon gas tank and how it fits on the bike with the stock plastic tank shrouds. Click the 3 photos above for some closeup shots of the IMS 3.1 gallon tank along with a Seat Concepts seat.

I went with the black tank, which works well with the blue/white plastic on the bike. Fit and finish is really good and my stock tank shrouds fit perfectly. The tank is taller than the stock tank, but it still works fine with a Wolfman tank bag.
