Just sold my bike tonight so its time for a new one to heal the wound.

My mind is set on WR400 either 99,2000 model as that's my price range.

My question is though what is the difference between a WR400 and WR400F.

What does the F stand for and what dont you/do you get compared to WR400.

They appear to be a bit cheaper then a normal 400 if that helps

Thanks !!

The guy that works for me rides a WR400 so if no one has answered by the morning I will ask him and let you know.

I dont think theres any differance I always thought that the F meant it was a four stroke and im pretty sure they dont make a 400 2 stroke,for example you can buy a YZ 250 which is a 2 stroke or you can get the YZ250F which is the 4 stroke.With the 400 you could get the YZ400F,WR400F or WR400F enduro.If you do buy one im sure you wont be dissapointed cos they are a good bike, so much torque you can drive up the side of a house.

Yep that's it, the used to make a 2 stroke and 4 stroke version but these days the WR400 comes in 4 stroke only.

hhhmmm but in the trading post there is pics of WR400F and they are 4 strokes aswell.

Might have to call a motorbike shop.

Thanks

There 4 stroke mate.Youll love them.What price range are you looking at?

[FPV TRANNY]

I had a WR 250F.It was a absolute weapon of a bike.I could keep up with 400/426/450 on it.If I was you id look at WR 426 if you can budget it.

Also be carfull what you look at as these new 4 strokes require very strict maintaince and oil changes otherwise you will buy a hand granade.

Gday darren, I thankfully already know quite about the 400 4 stroke and I was aware they were 4 stroke only. Thanks for the tip about the maintanence though I wasnt aware they required such strict oil changes and what not. Price range is 5 grand I cant afford more than that so unfortunately a 426 is out my league for a little while. I was looking at some 250 but im a sucker for "bigger means better" and after taking both for a ride im sold on the 400.

Thanks for your help

You should be able to find a reasonable 426 for under 5 grand,my brother recently sold his for 4500 I think and that was about the going price, he paid 5200 from memory about 2 years ago
