    thinking about studding up a bike for the winter. I have a gasser 300 and my 08 cr 144. With the extra grunt ... I'm guessing the gasser should be the obvious choice ... but I'm not so much into it anymore and wouldn't mind selling it. that would leave the 144 ... do you think it will have the grunt to get through snow with a set of trellies on it?? I don't plan to ride in deep fluff. it would be mostly packed sled trails and hard frozen snow over single track. If it is too soft and mushy the bike would stay home ... 300 cc or otherwise

    Joe do you run heated grips or those big black handwarmer things??
    I wonder if the cr would have enough juice to run hand warmers

    I prefer my 144 in the snow. Likes to rev and stays up top better. EZ to man handle.

    144 for sure! I ran heated grips on my '02 WR125, but haven't put them on my '09. I run big hand guards whether I have grip heaters or not.

    I cannot afford those elephant ears...I cut gallon milk jugs in half and zip tie them to hand guards...same purpose.

    I've done the gallon bleach bottles my ice racing bike. A definite upgrade from milk jugs!
