    What are you after big bill, I just called up my local dealer to get a bugger of a rare bearing 17,40,8mm they had them off the shelf. No bearing company I tried had them....

    Conrod were available a couple years back. There's a KTM rod that fits.
    Most other parts apart from plastics are interchangeable.

    Just thinking ahead if I buy it. If I can't find parts I'm stuck. These graphics are pretty. My 98 250wr was a babe magnet.

    the graphics and original plastic are very tough to find..
    repro plastic is available from dc, i havent tried any.
    most everything else is available.

    i cant remember if the 98 year has the earlier or later porting. around that time it changed to where it lost some top end and gained bottom ive heard. my 95 rips everywhere hard with a lectron and pipe. a pipe is a huge help on these..

    Could be on the cusp of port change as I thought that happend in 98, so it may be either.
    The earlier ports definitely pull for longer.

    97 was the porting change
    the 98 99 plastics are unubtainium more expensive per pound than some precious metals

    Not yet thinking about it.

    When I had my '98 Husqvarna 250wr street legal while slowing down for a red light. I had a guy cut me off on a Harley. He snarls at me sorry pal. I stayed on the right side of the road at the light. As the light turned green I poured it on and as I passed him I said see ya pal. I just blew the Harley away. He had no chance at all. The porting seemed like a cr porting. As you took off as I heard the popcorn noise increase in the pipe it as a warning the front wheel was coming up next.

    That's about right.
    Anything under 70kph 2strokes will win in most cases.
    Took 02 360 on motorway that's 70mph in middle lane overtaking traffic and the looks i got. A dirt bike on the high way!?! Kids i had thumbs up, drivers were scowling. I was praying to the 2smoke god i got to the next junction. Lol it was worth the wear just for that. Lol

    I was flying on the highway on my '99 TE610e I was passing cars. The speed didn't bother me it's the worry about a cross wind as I come out of the hills into the open flat highway. The bike is light.

    I hit a very strong cross wind once on my Suzuki 1200 bandit. It blew me from the right lane to the left shoulder. I was going too fast. I put all my weight on the left peg and it stopped the slide. Coming out of a hill on the right side and leaning in the curve the strong cross wind just grabbed and pushed me. The body English and pegs work just like a dirtbike. Quick thinking could save your life.
