250-500cc cr250 on a long dualsport

What do you think? My Cr250 has been wr'ized to be street legal. This past winter I redid the top end and added an ims tank. A few of us are entered in a 710km one day dualsport ride. I've done a fair bit of dualsport on it (300km in a day). Could the husky be up for the task or am I looking for trouble. We need to average about 60km/hr on the course.

thanks

CHEF!
Doing the P2D with your Husky 2T
Tough event but I think you've got it right with the "lighter is better" theory. I ran my KLR in 08 and the weight really taxes you later in the day and you definitely don't need to hit 120km/hr on the roads when the fog is soooo thick. What are you planning to do about gas since you need mix?
Not sure if you remember me... I rode Tony's WR with you guys at the Ganny late last season.
Best of luck.

I say a few guys I know [names withheld] should form "Team Husqvarna 2 Smoke".. They pay off the organizer and get on "Row 1"..
They run 29:1 ratio and literally SMOKE the competition away..


This is what "Team Husqvarna 2 Smoke" will be doing..

Yup, I remember you ARP. I added an IMS tank to it this past winter so I figure that I can go 150km. I'll carry oil with me, and maybe a 2 litre msr bottle if they they let meI was looking at sprockets and ratios this am so the husky wouldn't have to shriek down the gravel sections.
I have the BMW Dakar but I think it is way too heavy.
I'm riding it with a couple of KTm 450's and a DRZ.
I agree FTF, There should be a team husky 2 smoke. And everybody complained about the fog last time!!!
Ontario Boys are up early aren't they!

Chef,
You need one of FTF's 6-speeds!

Yup, FTF has everything.... I'm going to try a 15t on the front and a smaller .... maybe a 41t on the back.
Still have to figure out lights, tires and a bunch of other stuff.

As a rough guess, you will need probably 75-100w of lighting capacity. You may need an upgraded stator for that.

On the fast dualsports I run 15/48 gearing. It ends up like the six speed without using first. Mine works great this way.

Thanks:

Looks like I have to figure out lighting.... does anyone know what a stock wr stator puts out? Any suggestions on someone for a rewind with more output?
