250-500cc I can't find anything better than my WR250

After test riding other bikes, I just haven't found any bikes that are better for harescrambles than my 2000 WR250. I am a little bit faster on the YZ250F, but it just isn't exciting to ride... I don't know if that makes me happy, or makes me want to cry lol.

The bike has been good to me so I am finally sending the suspension to LT-Racing for some work. I have never had bike suspesnion set up for me, and am hoping this is a decent improvement!

I might even treat the motor to a new Wiseco piston...

I loved my '00 WR250, really one of the best years for the WR250 model. You'll be pleasantly amazed at how much better it will be with the suspension set up by someone who knows their stuff. That said... I'm really a small bore guy. Once I had my first WR125, the '00 WR250 just gathered dust.

Letitsnow,

Just curious, wondering if you could give a in-depth comparison of your WR250 vs the YZF 250.

I hear ya'. I just switched to the TC250 and I'm worried about missing my WR. They are so good.

But, I found I was a little faster on the 250F, so I had to give it a try. But, I'm almost afraid to get it dirty because I may want to trade it back in on a WR.

I'm a sick man.

I think about this crap too much. I just need to ride.

Yes I know what you mean - I must admit I wanted to try an older wr 250 a i liked the feel of my 04 TE 450 - still would as a spare bike if i find a good one .
Id be worried about valves etc too much on a TC 250
I also think about this shit too much lately - need more of a challenge at work ...
you go through stages

I have a Honda CR125 that is fun too, but I am a big bore guy.

I'm sorry but I didn't really ride them long enough to do an in depth comparison.

In a nutshell - If my harescramble results put food on the table, I would race a 250f because I can race faster on one. The 250f seems like the perfect power/weight/traction for moving quickly through the woods.

"Moving quickly". Think about that for a minute... Is that all that it is about? Not for me - I want it to be exciting also. I want to have to lean forward to keep the bike from flipping over backwards in the open stretches.

I was looking for an excuse to buy another bike. I hate to say it but if I do buy a bike off of the showroom floor, it will be a KTM300 - only because I can have e start in a package that can be made as good as my 10 year old Husky.

Careful on your decision. I ride with two KTM 300s' once in a while, and each of those times they had magic button issues. (it sounded like there was loud metal on metal noises and no ignition!)

Just concerned, thats all. Tommy
P.S. kick starter worked though!

Real racers do not need a button Just kick it when you start a race and push the kill button when finish As for suspention just won a expert race with my suspention done by Zip Ty Racing Now i do not know which bike to race at the next National my cr 125 or wr
250

ive tried stacks of bikes and i think your right
the only bike thats close to a WR250 Husky is probably a TM250 EN

You are not alone. I have the sickness also

E start isn't needed, but sometimes in the TREES, when you kill it on a nasty technical hill climb... If you pick your right foot up off of the ground you will fall back down the hill... And the other guy pushes the button and waves at you when he is taking off...

I am liking GG300 too. Although my WR250 will remain my race bike for awhile.

Let It Snow B Line suspension is a local guy.He did the suspension on my 08wr 250 and it rocks,plush on the roots and rocks but still takes the whoops.If interestead pm me and I can get you contact info.

For sure on the new suspension-you will wonder why you did not do it earlier, it makes life much better--Magic--You will have more fun and ride faster longer.

I agree with SD... get the suspension done. Just had my front done and it is a huge difference in the woods. Still needs fine tuning.

Steadydirt... you have a pm

The 2000 is a good model with the WIDE RATIO trans.
