    its simple preference is all. I like the clutch feel of my two magura equipped singles, more than the feel of my cable equipped triple. It's apples to oranges, but still personal preference.

    i wont let it stop me from trying and loving a wr250 though, although all this talk about the wr150 kind of has me thinking of trying out one of those... but at 190-200lbs i'm a little on the large side for the little motor (or at least i would think)

    and if I DID get a WR... i'd probably upgrade the clutch perch anyway, because to me upgrading and making the bike exactly how you want it is part of the fun of riding it. I'll ride anything, but i'm very picky about how the things that I OWN are.

    I have a Hebo hydraulic over cable clutch conversion set up on my WR360. IMO it is no easier to pull than the stock WR250 cable actuated clutch. The only advantage of the hydraulic set up is that it is self adjusting.

    I also tried a Magura full hydraulic conversion on an '08 Yamaha YZ250 and it was a harder pull than a Husky WR250 with a cable.

    The hydraulic AJB clutch on my Beta trials bike is a different story altogether. The pull on it is so light you can do it with your pinky finger but that's not an apples to apples comparison.

    Given the choice I'd have hydraulic.Had 3 bikes with them & never had a single problem.Since owning my WR300,have snapped cable,always needing to lube & adjust it, & is definitely heavier.
