250-500cc My first ride on a WR250 2009mdl

I just picked up a second hand 250 with 125km on it

so far i've installed:-
a bash plate
radiator guards
a new Geomax rear tyre/ UHD tube
bark busters
14 tooth front sprocket (14-48)


The bike rocks

You had to get to the front - show off
looked like one guy was telling you to get back
glad you like the bike - I probabky should have gone 250
done any real testing hill climbs yet?
( RD - Lapper from DBW)

Hey Lapper, yes i had to get to the front of the pack, i was testing how
the bike accelerated and handled. after coming off a KTM250 i was very impressed no head shake at speed, deflection and awesome acceleration.

So, did you guys have a Picnic at Hanging Rock?

Very good movie.

Looks like a good riding area, maybe a few too many trees for my taste but....

wasnt really on the pipe up the hill - do you find its easy to get on the pipe compared to KTM ? I am finding 125 on I have to be fully committed - ok on small hills to chug up but not slippery or sandy big ones

i just chugged up the hill, the gearing 14-48 was no good for steep hills without a lot of clutch work.

a 125 is a different beast all together, it wants scream, give it hell and keep up the regular piston changes.

Very cool videos thanks for sharing and getting that Husky out front where they belong. So are you liking it more than the KTM?

Cool thanks for watching
Chalk and cheese
The KTM is a great bike but the Husky does everything better
Husky feels lighter, turns better and stops quicker
KTM is very versatile with a better gearbox and better parts availability
especially aftermarket parts.

has anyone got a long range tank on their 2009 model WR250?
i asked JustGasTanks and got this

I got a tank for my 09 WR300 from JustGasTanks. Here's a link to a thread about it.

I think IMS makes a couple of tanks that fit the WRs.

They do and it was shipped to the uk

Cool

Nice vids bud
Good angle on the helmet cam

Looks like you've acclimated pretty well to the Husky,

Thanks heaps

i took the bike south of melbourne to tasmania with 20 friends for 4 days of riding

I had to be careful, shit was breaking off the husky every day, and i didnt want to DNF. by the end the tail light and head light were taped on, the sub frame was bent, i had skid marks on the side panels, a sheared speed cable, tape keeping the shroud stickers on, a very anoying overheating rear brake and junked up tyres. oh did i mention the kickstand broke off at the bolt durring a river crossing

It turns out the eliptical adjuster on the rear brake has not enough freeplay causing the brake to overheat.

check it out select 720p

That hillclimb looks like good fun!

I didn't even bother with the headlight, taillight or the computer as I'm very prone to breaking things.
I actually bent my subframe a few weeks ago too. Down in the desert for 4 days with about 20 friends. Parallel universe!?!?

That is a great clip, my mate on a 530 having a play
