125-200cc First race on stock wr125 and last race of season

Well my stock 2013 wr 125 (has skid plate and hand guards) worked out great got 3rd off the start and ended up 5 at end of race out of 25 in my class, which is not bad. Did I miss my 2008 cr 165, yes I did and think I might have got 3 rd with it. On long straights I could see 450 pull me on the straights buy alot where on my 165 I did not notice any bike out pull me on straight to bad. For stock suspension wr did really well and I caught lots of guys in the tight stuff. So it to bad my 2008 cr165 did not last the whole season but sure glad I bought the 2013 wr125 to finish season off on and know it will be awesome once all convert to a wr165 with Lectron, 200 sx pipe. I ended up in 2nd place for series and happy with that and think 165 husky helped me out a lot. Thanks everyone for all there help on Cafe Husky.

Congratulations. I too raced my new to me 2009 wr144 for the first time this past weekend ended up with a third where I normally finish 4-8th on my 2002 cr250. Loved the 144 but found the 300's got me on the hilly terrain.

I also notice on steep technical climbs the wr125 was to the pin and lots of slipping the clutch but still amazing how the little 125 would lug and not stall, must be flywheel weight that helps. My cr165 would have gone up those same hills at what ever throttle I wanted with no clutch that how big a difference there is in motor after all 165 mods are done.

Congrats on your finish

They are great bikes with out a doubt. I'm racing my WR 150 in a few weeks in a hare scramble and can't wait to do it. I rode my KTM there the last time I rode this event. I already know what this bike is capable of and I'm pumped. When I'm ready for a top end I'm real certain the 165 is the next step I'm taking with it.

Crazy dusty race but fun.

Congrats !
