250-500cc How to tame my WR250

Hi I have a 08 wr250 and I would like to make it smoother as i do a lot of woods riding and wet clay.

Can you get a diffrent CDI box? or one with a switch?


I have fitted it with a lectron And that helped but I whant to get It smoother.

I have read that the 11-13 wr's are way smoother? Is that true?

There are some posts here about replacement ignition/stator. Like here

A Rekluse tamed my 300 enough to make it an amazing woods racer. With the Lectron also it will lug around when necessary, but still scary fast on top
Also, Tubliss on the rear is proving to help a lot as well.

taller gearing can help, as it may be geared too low for your needs..
a "slower" throttle will help, and make it less sensitive..
a flywheel weight will help also..

I would try the G2 throttle before I messed with the ignition.

G2 throttle with Lectron and Rekluse is sweet! Also up to 14:49 gears and 1st is still a ripper, 2nd gear starts and scary 5th
Also, tire size makes a difference.

Possible to retard the timing?

retarding timing a bit would help as well as eliminate kickback and perhaps even less engine stress.

You could probably stack a few base gaskets as well

Add a rekluse and ride a gear higher.

Yea, I went through this with my 09. I put a lectron, throttle tamer and fmf gnarly with q-stealth silencer. Even with the JD Jet kit while I had the mikuni, I think throttle tamer and gnarly made it pretty smooth.
Next step is to send it to forward motion for porting next time you do a top-end. They have a smooth option.
My 250 is there right now for an overbore to 295 + bottom end grunt porting.

Get suspension set up for your weight and learn to ride, im a 5'7" 75kg dude an have no issues manhandling my 360 through the woods.
Only been riding 5 years.

Thanks for all your help!

I have Rekluse to fit to it will fit this weekend.

What is a throttle tamer? And what is a Tubliss? and a G2 throttle?

This and some Base gaskets will be the easy fix to make the engine more comfortable to ride at lower speed.
I did all of these modifications, but most significant was the ignition- the engine does not rev like wild- its so much more comfortable at higher rpm´s .
I m a 125 driver, so not used to that amount of power my bikes got- thats why i tried to make it more controllable until i m used to it.
Also it would make me tired more quickly which is not good at a 2 hours cross country races.

Sell it an get a pw 80 that will help no ends, you will be flat out on that thing within the year!

Which metering rod are you running? My 2010 250 had the 3-1xl rod in it when I bought it. Was really tame off the bottom. No real hit anywhere almost electric feel to it. I replaced it with a 3-2xl to wake it up

Hey juicypips where do you live I want to line up with you and see if you are the hero you make your self out to be.

Ha im in gloucester mate, whats this hero business you will do a disservice to my rep!

This is a great company that makes a quality product in the USA! Kind of ironic, I used a throttle tamer on my TE 310R, and now with a WR144 use the quick turn throttle. Both products are high-quality.

You can save a few $$ using Rutmonkey- they are a distributor for G2.
