    Norm,
    I was curious as what you did to the front top of the airbox? I too have an 09' WR125, and I have noticed on more than one occasion that it will get almost flooded in some creek crossings. The crossings weren't crazy deep, as least, I think my 250 would've made it through okay. Any idea?

    Thanks in advance...

    Not a good sign! Unless he is focusing on the 310 and getting rid of the dead weight...

    Looks like the New 310cc engine is working for Glenn with a 4th place in the final round of the National Enduro series and 2nd place at round 12 of the GNCC. GO GLENN GO

    Excellent Job today for Glenn. I wonder how close he was to a overall. Anybody there today and can give a report?

    I was at my Husky dealer the other day and he was showing me the dealer USB memory stick that showed the dyno graph of the new TE 310 compared to the old 310 and new 250. Horsepower was I think peaking around 38/39 according to Husky's graph. It also showed the two frames side by side where the lower wings were no longer there. And some of the Hard parts available.

    what is the difference in weight and HP between the old and new 310?

    That's a good question. I don't know but I'd like to take a guess. I'm going to say..... about 13 lbs difference and 5HP. :excuseme:

    I'm on a Yamaha WR290 now and I have to say that is the right size motor. It's awesome and I have to believe it would be the same on the new 310 motor.

    After riding a 250 2T all my life and then switching to this 250 4t, I can see when many will want more horses but not maybe all the way to the weight of a 450 bike ... The ~300 area might be the new 250 going forward in the 4t world ....

    Glenn stepped up with this engine, no reports of the engine blowing, and I read when the X-light 250 engine won a MX championship in Italy so I'm convinced the engine is not gonna blow apart ... This will be the orange crusher engine for the next several years ...


    PS -- Buy Glenn more than 1 drink if you cross his path before next weekend :)

    Well the TXC 250 is no longer for sale because its in my garage. I'm hoping he left some of his excellent riding skills on the bike along with some of the neat parts :D

    I'm not the most qualified person to evaluate Glenn as a racer, but he was certainly a cool guy. Best of luck to you next season!
