    Hi Guys,
    I have recently purchased a 09' WR 300, it is a big change from my last ride a KTM 540 exc but heaps cheaper to register in Australia as it is less than 301cc, anyway I'm having trouble coming to terms with the amount of vibration in the frame, I've checked all mount bolts, main bearings, filled handle bars with urathane and checked bar isolating rubbers- all ok
    Is there anything else to check or is this normal for a 2 stroke?

    Also I have removed the head to adjust the PV and identified a small crack between the large and small exhaust port, can this be repaired with a sleeve and are there big bore kits avaliable to increase bottom end?

    You can have it welded and re plated. No sleeves on the newer huskys they use a nikasil plating.

    As for vibration not too sure. The 300 will definitely vibrate more than your ktm 4 stroke though.
