250-500cc '09 WR300 ignition swap

My riding buddy picked up an '09 WR300 and the previous owner converted it to a 'CR' ignition box. Does anyone have a 'WR' box for sale or trade? The bike runs hard and fast but it's just not good in the tight hilly single track. Email or text me. john_hunter@genpt.com or 404-435-3960.

i think that your buddy bought the bike off of me. Does he like the bike? I hope everything has been good for him.

Yep, sounds like your old bike. My buddy has done a few things to it. New fork seals, new brake pads front & rear, new plastic, 50T rear sprocket, and some bearings and repair on the swing arm. All easy stuff. The big stumbling block is that ignition. The 'CR' is just too much 'rip' for tight single track and nasty hills...

The Cr ignition came on the bike when I bought it. I think that that is a mod that alot of people want to do, I would think that he could find someone to trade. You might want to stick it in the classified section too. I liked the hit of the bike, but it was alot for tight single track. I did not have any troubles on the hills, I thought that it had plenty of low end. Glad to see he is enjoying it.

I already hit John up regarding the ignition
The only time I ride my 300 is between 8-11k ft and I could use all the HP I can get. I could also use some more talent if anyone's got any to spare!

You can always put a flywheel weight on it.

I've got a few dumb questions... Did the '09 WR300 come OE with a flywheel weight? If so, how much? If an aftermarket weight is added what would you guys recommend?

Next, what is involved with swaping out the ignition. Is it just a matter of pulling off the black box and unhooking a few wires?

The CR swap is a complete ignition, stator, flywheel, wire harness and black box. The only thing the same is the coil.

The 300 just has a heavier flywheel. There is no "weight" added.

10 and 12 once flywheel weights are available for the CR ignition / flywheel. Sounds like you might just go fro the 12oz..
