125-200cc I Rode The Prototype Wr200 And It Is Amazing...

Put an hour or so on my WB165 and it is amazing, even with the fmf fatty and jetted rich. I say go for it you will like it.

My WR/WB165 at the Curly Fern Enduro....

Norman,

I am going to send you a red/white Hamilton Bronc jersey and a hashed old Montana license plate so you can really bling the ride at your next enduro.

How is the 165 with 91 octane gas?

Mine's sweet on 93 .

With the '09' frame and layout said to be superior to even an '08, do you feel like you are giving up very much with an '04? If you get the forks working better, how much difference do you think?

Curt,

I set it to work with your type of gas. The vast majority are set so they run well with pump premium like 91.

I took my WB165 out last weekend for the first time. I'm currently running the 125 FMF pipe and RB modded TMX. My jetting was a tad lean on top but it was still everything I was hoping it would be. If the 200 pipe makes it better, that's just icing on the cake. There's now enough bottom end to loft the front end over logs and trail trash without using the clutch. I can also climb rutted rocky hills without abusing the clutch, just downshift and go.

Thanks Walt, you've saved me from looking for a GasGas or KTM 200. All of my riding buddies I've told of this project have had the same reaction, "oooooh, I want to ride it".

04 is the same as the 08.

The 09 and later bikes turn better...not that the old ones were bad....the newer ones are fantastic.

For some reason the 04 motor ran great stock but the new ones don't run well at all without a bit of tinkering!

Walt, I'm kind of liking this look.....

I thought you would like something like that. Trade you for a Northeast Husky gathering tee shirt. Joe keeps promising but he can't pull the trigger on that or the 165. I figure when you roost him a few times this spring he will get with the program.

What size? I'll see what I have.... Joe got a second in his class at Curly Fern on the 144, so maybe he doesn't need that extra 21cc's of "Old Man Help" yet!

Of course he would have been first with the 165.

Just got my suspension back today !! Cannot wait to get the 165 back together ! Now if all the parts get in

I guess Eric never reads his Emails nor returns calls when product is ready. Still waiting. Waiting........waiting..........waiting................waiting............zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Been calling him all week too

Hold a second,I have to catch my breath.Just took out my WB165 for the 1st time out behind my houseon my mini test loop.I swear Walt designed this bike for NewEnglands slow nasty rocky rooty and rutts .After 2 days of idling here and there i put in some gear just to break it in and 1st thing I noticed is it wont stall,my rock gardens are nasty and I went thru in 2nd gear barely moving and the motor sounded like sewingmachine,wouldn.t as much as hick up,amazing tractor like power.I will ride this weakend in much faster type pinetree forest with massive hills,I already know this is a killer hill climber,quick run down on what my setup is.FMF FATTY KTM 200sx pipe 13/48 gearing 100-100-18 tire TMX 5.0 slide suz needle in middle 470 main 32.5 pilot 1.5as stock spring and linkage in around the middle,so far I,m very happy. Bike is a 09 wr125,well used to be.
