All 2st Mystery Bike

Hi, I'm looking to by a cheap project bike to add to the stable of ktms, and I have found a 250 two stroke husqvarna for a decent price. The seller says it is a 2003 wr250, but from what I have read there are no 2003 models in the US. What also concerns me is that he says it's a we but it does not have tail lights or turn signals, I was wondering if any of you gu-ros could tell me what I might be getting my self into thanks.

Look on the steering head, there should be some numbers and letters. That will tell you what it is.

Thanks for the info, I ended up buying it last night for $500!! I will have to check the stering stem tonight but it is an overall great project bike to start with. It has good compression (feeling with my foot) and nothing on it is majorly banged or beat up, except the obvious plastics and so one... I will most likely be starting a built the ad soon and plan on documenting it all.

And I also forgot to mention that the title does say it is 2000 and the 18" rear wheel is making me think it is actually a wr

Pull the cover off under that pipe on the right hand side. Looks like a 250 weather someones taken wr kit off to make it a field bike or if its a cr will be able to twll you after you post up pic of stator.
Small 70mm stator =cr
Big 110mm stator =wr

5 or 6 gears have?

Starors really the only clue or the thing that makes a difference.

Did the wr come with a pro-curcit pipe?

No thats an after market job, im 99% sure they came with specs. Not sure If ive spelt that correctly looks wrong.

vin # should say cr or wr in it on steering tube I think.

Who cares,Cr or Wr. 500$ how could you go wrong

cmon guys cant yall see its a freakin Castiglioni Giovanni Varese (CaGiVa).........

Yes we can the question is not the elephant on the parts its the cr vs wr question.

It looks like a 2000 CR 250 to me.
No brake light switch on rear brake master cylinder, short muffler( looks aftermarket though), no lights & different guard to WR.
The stator is probably the easiest way to tell.
10th digit in on the VIN will tell you the year
X=1999
Y=2000
1=2001
2=2002
3=2003

Okay I have since bought the bike and have already tore it down to the frame to start the restoration. On the steering stem and the title it states it to be a wr but it has the cr stator/ flywheel and wiring. I have been taking plenty of pics on the tear down and was planning on making another thread just for the whole tear down and rebuild, or should I just keep posting the progress on this page?
