125-200cc NEW 2013 WR125 WOO HOO

I finally took delivery of my new 2013 WR125 the other day & I was stoked!!
What a beautiful bike to look at as well as ride. I love the black frame, polished hubs, the old Husky shape, not like the 4 strokes & dripping with quality components all over it.


It has a lot more torque down low & more pull up top than my 1996 WR125 & that's in stock trim with 13/50 gearing, the Mikuni carb was running slightly rich.


The suspension was quite plush although I have only ridden it on the road due to my work commitments & not enough time at home. I cant wait for easter when Im gonna ride the wheels off it. Brakes are awesome and worked exceptionally well. The dash is nice & neat & you can read the speedo without dodging the cables & it also came with a Husqvarna bar pad..about time!!

Airfilter access is a breeze with the release of the one Dzus fastener on the seat.

I was dissapointed in the amount of grease on the steering head bearings as there was just enough to stop them rusting, so the whole bike is getting the big grease up on all bearings & anti seize on the axles & swing arm pin.

I just wish I could get to spend more time riding it. A few goodies coming from the good ol USA via Motosportz so I will keep you all tuned.

Congrats on the new purchase I'm picking mine up tomorrow (Sat). I'll be doing the same thing with the bearings. Did the shop tell you what jetting they put in it ?

It was as per the manual i was told 72Racerx, I'm not exactly sure
not that it really matters as Kelly is setting me up with a 36mm Lectron

nicely done damo, just need some time to ride it now mate!

Congrats damo - there's nothing quite like a new bike
It will be interesting to see how you go with it and what you do
I've kept the rego but pulled off all the road gear including speedo when I went to the cr ignition
So you like the ignition compared to the cr ? I suppose its hard to compare as your other one is more modified

Your bike is a beauty. I particularly like the license plate on such a light, off-road capable bike.

a tiddler with turn signals. dont get much better than that!

Thanks Ash
I love the smell of a new bike as it heats up
Ignition is smoother than the Cr, my 1996 WR has more hit but the 2013 has more torque off the bottom

Your not wrong mate I cant wait for Easter

Congrats! You won't believe how good it will be in the trails,makes you feel like a hero!

Ditto....... You will love the way you can sling this bike anywhere you want to go...

I can't wait to get it on the trails and see how it compares to my 1996 WR 125
Superior in every way I would think

Interesting when its still running rich mikuni and still better down low
Compared to your keihin 36mm
About to go out for a real test on mine
Heaps of rain so seems like the weapon of choice

Big congrats and I know you will enjoy .

Did your bike come with the lights/blinkers? Is is street legal?

Ditto. Do they come kitted with road gear in Australia ? That's what I want!!

Yep road legal as it is from the factory
Great bike especially with the lectron carby such smooth power now compared to the mikuni

Shes a hot number for sure. Congrats.

Great looking bike. I think I need to buy one. Just gotta justify what happens to my 2012 Kato 350...hmmmm, cant ride 2 at once
