Anything you may think will help a newbie to huskies. Btw. They're awesome

Single best addon:Lectron carb. Turns it into a totally different bike(in an awesome way)

there are tons of different opinions about oils...amsoil, klotz, motul, belray, golden spectro all will protect your motor just fine with proper jetting and the ratio your manual tells you to run..honestly, i like the smell of klotz the best so i have run it quite awhile at 40 to 1 in anything 2 cycle i own. bikes, grass trimmers, and chainsaws. amsoil would be my second choice. most everything made by amsoil is good. i use their 10w30 motorcycle engine oil in my bottom ends. just about any oil that is jaso ma rated that is close to the recommended weight will do fine. jaso rated means it will work fine with a wet clutch, altho there are oils without this rating that work as well. good luck!

I luv the 08 WR250 threads .. I have the perfect one... Its a one kicker and never runs out of power unless the rider makes a mistake. Stock except for the pipe as far as I know ... And that small metal piece in the second pic ... Not sure what it is but it does help the bike pull better at the bottom end ..

Put what ever you want for tranny oil in the bike... You be one unlucky person if you pick the wrong oil for a 2t tranny oil...

I pimped this bike at the races and rode trails on it between races last yr ... I told my rider, 'I don't think you can break this bike in one yr' ... Not sure if he believed me at first, but by race 4-5, he was on-board.


Whatever that metal piece is came with my bike and fits in the CARB on the air box side... I forgot to put it back in day and during the next ride, I noticed that before the pipe came into play at the lower RPMs, the power felt much weaker with it removed.

Good luck with your bike and your riding

Hey mate, I have the exact bike, it is pretty well unstoppable. Great performing motorcycle.

In stock form they are still tremendous. As for mods, first mod anyone should do is suspension IMO.

I learned a long time ago, set up the suspension to YOU!
Its amazing how much faster you go on stock bikes

Its an air striker from fmf supposed to sort out airflow to have smoother entrance into carb, must be something to them if you noticed a difference.
