Yamaha Dirt Bike Parts
We may live in a mad world, but it's also one where the inhabitants are incredibly lazy. Motorcyclists are no different, really. It's not that we can't do a top-end rebuild in under an hour using only a Leatherman, but we'd really rather spend that time bench racing with a few friends and even more cold ones.
Similarly, when one of us wants to ride off-road, the common course of action is to buy a motocross bike and then spend a thousand dollars more on a flywheel weight, lights, suspension valving, exhaust systems and the like. We'd go through this hassle because a motocross bike does not make a good off-road bike, and most of the offerings from various manufacturers are little more than trail bikes.
In addition to all the YZ's goodies, the WR gets an 18-inch rear wheel, a larger 3.2 gallon fuel tank, a wide-ratio transmission and a stainless muffler that incorporates a spark arrestor. Oh, there's also the requisite headlamp and tail light assemblies. But there is still a decided lack of hand guards, presumably since each rider has their own personal preference and it's no use fitting things to a bike that will just as quickly be gathering dust in some dark corner of a storage shed.
So, is the WR426 really an add-gas-and-roost affair? Well, yes and no. You could do that, but you'd be disapointed. You see, there's still this little matter of keeping the bike within certain noise limits that also limits a bike's performace. The WR comes fitted with a cover on the airbox, an insert in the muffler and a throttle stop which only allows you to open the throttle half way.
Sure, the bike could stand to shed a few pounds and the seat-tank junction is a bit awkward. Riders won’t mind a quart less fuel if it meant they could have a tank that's a bit thinner and a seat that's a touch longer and, perhaps, flatter for better rider movement.
In all, this bike represents a huge leap forward for not only Yamaha, but for off-road riders everywhere. It's a solid bike that carrys on the Yamaha four-stroke tradition proudly, closely resembling the moto brothers without sacrificing off-road prowess.
