All 2st Please post pictures of your 2 stroke bikes.

That looks great! Not sure about the height or angle of the bars…

Hi the main issue i always had with the bike was i could never get it to turn and only being 165cm tall(ducks disease) was the reason, I removed the bar rises as it felt like riding with ape hangers and kept playing with the bar position to enable me to get the weight over the front to suit my style, also as i spend most of my riding on trials bikes I tend to ride standing up 80% of the time. You can also see in the pick I have had the seat shaved 30mm to help me touch the ground

I attached my New graphics today to my 165

Freejack, are the bars mount perches rubber mounted in the triple clamp? The rubber mounted ones, on the later models, can be turned 180' which moves the bars mounting point forward or back around 20mm. Might help with your issue. Does having the bars mounted like that make your wrists ache??

Also ensure you have 100mm rider sag and 30mm static sag on your rear suspension. These numbers have a big influence over how the bike's front feels. There's a helpful thread, posted under 2stroke thread index under suspension topics, started by vinduro that explains what I'm on about more clearly.

Miezie u havnt fixed the dent yet?!!

Bike lookin good mate

Dent has been fixed- but theres already another one...

Ahh that makes me feel better.

Thanks for that, yes i have turned the bar mounts around, I don't get sore arms at all (probably as i am so use to standing up), one thing i really like about the husky is the suspension and the re-valving of the forks has worked well, i will have a look at the sag on the back end.

I m in back pain for 6 months now- cant ride my bikes- but lucky me a friend did come over to help me out riding and washing both bikes afterwards.
Now they are back into my garage waiting for me to recover.

Nice horn!

Safety First! ;-)

My 07 WR250......and its for sale/trade in the classified section

Diggin' the green in the graphics.


I did similar when I ordered new stuff this year.

Hi, did what you said, my mechanic friend had set the suspension up exactly how you said, I did back off the rear spring rate and made sure it is as plush as it can be aslo pulled the bars back a bit around 20mm at the grips, it worked well at the local cross country track - lots of deep sand rutted out & change of position switchbacks so was a good test, strange the bike is the best its ever been but its the old man riding the thing is the one who needs to get in shape lol.

yeah I like the green....Very Italian

Here is a pic of my project I just completed! Was a 2000 WR 250 and now has a 2002 360 motor in it, FBF 50mm forks, Lectron and a lot of other things.

My 02 CR 300 (was a 250 before the big bore kit)
Hope you guys like it!

It looks great! And thanks for your help on the decals!

You're welcome! Hope yours came out just as good!
