250-500cc Lectron results

Installed my Lectron and tuned at 200' elevation. Rode to 13000' with absolutely no adjustments. 48 mile loop yesterday starting at 7000'. Traversed two passes, 12000' and 13000'. Used 1.5 gallons of fuel.

Wow.
OK, Darrel, now I'm really inspired to put that Lectron on my 430. Cool picture, bet that was a great ride.

Awesome ride! It is a bit more difficult to loft the front wheel at 13000'!

SO HOWS THE BASKET CASE COMING?

I've got a set of 250 cases in hand that I can modify to work. Also secured a good cylinder. I'm stuck on a crankshaft/rod. I'll locate a crankshaft or rod kit eventually. I've not split the cases as yet so I'm not sure the condition of the transmission. We will have to attend to that after I sort the crank. I've secured a replacement swingarm as well as a replacement front end. Slow going on the project as it was in pretty bad shape (well used and abused). We're steady collecting parts; hope to start on it over the winter.

Were you riding a 430 or the 360 ? Can't tell what you're sitting on in the pic.

What model year 250 are you talking about? An 87?

ITS A WP FORKED 87 430 WR THAT I PAID 400 FOR TO SAVE FROM THE CRUSHER

HOW DID A HILLBILLY IN ArKANSAS GET AN OLD HUSKY THAT YOU SAVED FROM THE CRUSHER?

THE WONDERS OF CAFEHUSKY THERE A NOTHER HILLBILLY IN FLORIDA THAT GETTING A 83 430 WR SOON TO WITCH BRINGS UP SOMETHING ELSE ANYBUDDY NEED TWO FULL FACTORY OHLINS REBUILD KITS FOR A ITC HUSKY???

I'm riding my '96 WXE 360 this trip. I was working to get the '87 ready but ran into ignition troubles. The mini 6 gave up. The '87 I got from Troy sat with water in the ignition cover; flywheel was rusted to the stator. I managed to get everything loose and cleaned up but that stator assembly only lasted ~ 10 minutes or so before it opened up. I've a power dynamo system heading this way. $313 all up including shipping.
I've got good cases from an '87 CR250 to put towards the project I got from Troy.

There's a local WXE 360 for sale, should I buy it? I bet those 360s haul the mail.
I was just looking up PowerDynamo, I have one but it's not installed and I could use another for my Auto. You found one for $300 bucks? That's cheap.

Yes, yes you should. In my humble opinion of course.

Installed a complete powerdynamo on my '92 360 this winter and have been very pleased with the results.

I'm very pleased with my 360. I've plated it so as to be able to ride it to the trails. This is my "go to" bike for tight technical trails as the gearing and handling work so well. It's light and handles like a 250. I've the Lectron and a gnarly pipe on mine.
I would recommend getting one. They seem under valued and, kick starting style aside, easy to ride well.

I ordered from their website. Seems we may be enjoying a favorable exchange rate presently. I got the A/C system.

The 'go-to' bike, well that's saying something.
I've heard the Cagiva-built Huskys are well liked and the gear sets are really quality compared to the Swedish gear sets.

I'll have to think twice about buying another bike now... I already have another bike coming... ha ha. Will post pics soon.

Did you ride in from the Telluride side or the Silverton side?

We stayed in Ouray. Rode the Black Bear road over the pass to Telluride and had lunch with the wives. Then rode back by Imogene Pass and Camp Bird. Great ride!

The 430 seems a better dual sport bike; runs the highways much easier than the 360. The 360 works the tight technical stuff much better. Take the one way part of Black Bear road for example. I REALLY wanted to go slow and steady down that stretch of the road. I find it difficult to go that slow on the WR. The bikes are completely different from each other with each having different strengths. Perhaps this is simply my excuse for more than one bike?

they are different for sure, but both can do the same things. i like the 360 for tight work as it steers quicker and has less motor inertia..the 87-88 chassis is by far the most comfortable i have ridden tho.
the swedes chassis does want you to RUN as its so steady and missile like. i can see why with a thumper engine there were so many dual sports based off that made by the italians all thru the 90s
