    Picked up an 06 WR125, it appears in pristine condition. My other husky is a 2012 TE511.
    Things to do? Things to watch out for? In general the care and feeding of this model.
    I had a CR125 houndog, just like the huskys. Any suggestions, knowledge appreciated.
    What are you using in the bottom end? What mixture and type.

    Hey! I have a 125 now 165 and a TE511 as well. Pretty much got everything covered with this two :thumbsup: there are endless threads here about the 125 bikes, read on man. Steering head, linkage and swingarm bearings should be checked on any new and old husky. Motors are super solid as is the clutch and gears. I like Amsoil 2 stroke and anything gold and clean in the trans :D I'm not wild over the 45mm forks. Gold valves and springs fixed mine 95%. I did not care for the seats on those years, SeatConcepts might be your friend.

    Lets see some pix!

    Enjoy

    Yes, seat concepts was the answer for the 511. I will keep reading. Always liked a 125, that 165 upgrade might be
    In my future. Suspension is wait and see,,,I'll put a couple of hours on it and see what I want to do....

    I had an 06 - my first husky 2 stroke .
    I had no issues with mine- very reliable.
    They can suffer from the bog Id put a fatty on it - also the Lectron carb seems to be the go at the moment . (The TMX is known to a bit finnicky especially with with the wr125)
    That will get you going a bit better.
    I love the 45mm forks better than newer /stiffer forks on my '11 310

    This 125'has a motosports rear brake guard on it, and it is nice!
    Might need one for the big TE.
