    I put the WR tank from 2010 on my 09. I think it was supposed to be 2.35 gallons. I only got 2.25 in it. Nice tank though and an extra half gallon helps. IMS makes a 2.8 or 2.9 gallon tank for the 09 but some have had minor fitment issues that seemed to be easily fixed.

    Bolted the 165 on this afternoon. The increase in power is nothing short of amazing and it seems to run so much cleaner and smoother than I could get as a 125. I've only heat cycled it and rode it down the street once so I'll give a full report when I get some time on it. Thanks again Walt.

    Love how smooth the power is also. Congrats and look forward to you full ride report once it's broken in. Hey did you get the KTM 200 Fatty pipe for it?

    Yes I put the fatty sx200 on. I think I'll try the pro circuit for the next kit on my other bike, you just can't believe that the 165 can make so much bottom end until you experience it! I think I might like a touch softer bottom with a little more through the mid and top. The plan is to have one bike set for enduro and one for hare scrambles. I had walt give me a race gas kit for the hare scramble bike, he said comp was set at 225psi. I'll probably go with a standard comp kit for the enduro bike.

    :D I have the 08CR WB165 with the Fatty myself and love the low end power; it really helps an old fat guy like me :applause:.

    That is exactly what I said, so I have the PC pipe. I have ridden them back to back with the fatty, and the PC modded pipes. The PC suits my riding style more for sure.

    I can't wait to try the Doma on Kelly's bike when that is all ready to rock.

    Guys, assuming when i have my 165 kit fitted and im a happy chap like all you lucky people my next purchase shall be an over size petrol tank. I see ims do a tank, but i cant find any pictures of this tank fitted to a wr125 2009. Do any of you guys have this tank fitted, or what tank do you recommend showing a picture of it fitted to your bike. Any pictures would be really appreciated.

    You just missed one on ebay last week LOL
    My mate has one on his and other than the seat being a bit of a pain to get on and off fits reasonably well

    2009 WR165 with IMS. Seat is tight, but not hard to get on / off. Works great!

    had a friend ride the 165 yesterday... another friend asks at dinner later on, "how does the power compare to our bikes?" ... "definitely feels like it has more power than our 250Fs" (Kawi and a Honda. Kawi rider is quick)

    :thumbsup: :cheers:

    Blake, beings its a prototpe kelly gave you it for free?... in that case, kelly should do the same for me and the 165 kit hes sending me..... on a general note guys you know some people on this website deserve some recognition and yes kelly is a great generous guy. Lets all say how good he is at not charging lots of $$$ on the stuff he sells so come on everyone a big cheer for kelly.

    Ps Kelly, dont forget my DGD on the 165 kit (diamond geezer discount).....thanks...lol
