250-500cc 2009 wr250 opinions?

Who here has one? Do you race it? Enduro ? Gncc? or ? Is the 09 a race worthy machine, or are there better years ?
I don't know much about the marzocchi 50mm forks? I've read they need some work?
Any info would be appreciated. I'm looking at a fairly low hour one....

All the WR250/300 bikes are effectively the same from something like the mid-2000s and up, and even the bikes from before then are very similar (some difference in plastics, effectively the same engine and chassis). Plenty of guys on here are riding and racing on 250/300s from a range of years.

IMO the Marz forks are quite good for offroad, when setup & valved properly. Some of the models/years came with weird factory settings, but they are quality forks and the internals aren't much different than open chamber KYBs and Showas of the same era, so they can be set up to feel like any other fork.

If you do get that bike and want the suspension worked on you might talk to Les at LTR. I have a 2008 and after sending the suspension to Les, its suspension is the best of any bike I've owned...oh and I'm very happy with the rest of the bike too. I use it for trails and motocross tracks.

I have an 07 wr250. Suspension was done by LTR has a few mods pipe, silencer , auto clutch. One of the best bikes I have owned. Can be mild and putt putt in the technical stuff and a complete riper in the fast stuff. I ride race tight woods to open desert.
