125-200cc Test rips... Andy's '09 WR125 (CR Hybrid)

What are we going to call these things? WR125C's?


A couple of backyard videos(excuse the quality) between rain storms. Pictures don't do it justice it's pretty steep...and off-camber - prefect practice area. Turn up the sound and see if you like what you hear...
'08 cr ignition, 13/52 gearing, TMX, 460 main, 37.5 pilot, RM CHY needle-2nd clip down, #5 slide

Let me know what you think...

CWR's I am next, CR ignition on the way! Gotta keep up with all the Huskensteins!

Hey, I missed some of the better ones!(plus you can only post 5 things at a time)

You have to turn the volume UP!

CW125R.

Bike sounds great, but those vids are making me hate winter ! Its been in the 50's here for the past few days, but the snowpack is still too much and the trails are buried.

What exhaust are you running on there?

I like ''CW125R''... Dude, the day after these were taken it rained 2'' than finished it off with a dusting of snow. We were right in the middle of that east coast storm. They actually postponed the 1st major ECEA Hare Scramble in W Va this past weekend due to the storm.
Hang in there spring is on the way.
Right now I have on the FMF combo, Fatty with the Turbine Core II silencer.
These videos are in our 'backyard' which he has completely destroyed. What the heck, at least I know where he is.

Wish I had a "backyard" like yours!

PC, CW125R sounds good! Another acronym for: Can Whipass One Two Five RRRRRRRR!

I think that is the best it has ever run.

Post your settings:

Carb TMXX, Main, RM needle #,Clip postion, slide #, pilot, powervalve springs and adjustment area, Air Screw, CR Ignition, Pipe, Silencer and any other mods.

That's the way Evan's 04 RM 125 ripped!

A while back, our fellow forum brother, Ajaxauto, got chastised for saying this... but I'll reiterate. Why does everyone seem to want to turn their WR's into CR's?

I'll tell you why. Because CR's will rip the faces off of WR's.

That's why.

Put a 12 on the counter shaft or a 52 on the rear of your CR and you'll have a "WR" on steroids that will make you see God

Goodnight.

Krieg,

Well put. I didn't believe it until I made the change. Bog? what bog. I still don't know if I spelled your name right when I sent you needles. Sounds awsome Pahusky. When you want to step up to the 144 send me a pm and I can hook you up.

Yah! I like that. But I really envy you if you ride that WR pinned always! I'm gonna find me an RMneedle. Thanks, that's tight!

That's awesome!
I also like cee-dub 1 2 5 Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!... cause it has some pirate flare.

I've only got a handful of hours on mine and I'm certainly jonzin to ride it again. Its been almost 20 years since I rode a 125 and I really forgot how fun it is.
The other bikes are probably gonna be pretty quite this year as I relive my youth and dial this thing in.

Kelly,
I'd love to ride there. Vid was awesome.
Never been there though, so an invite would be mucho appreciated.

I'm taking my converted WRC out for the first time this weekend to a local race... I want to see God!

Mod rundown...started with an '09 WR125

08 CR125 ignition
Stock TMXX 38mm carb
#5 slide
460 Main
37.5 Pilot
6CHY16-62 (RM/Darty) needle, 2nd slot down
AirScrew 2 out
BR9ES plug
Stock powervalve spring with Walts inner Silver
PV arm almost all the way up
FMF combo, Fatty with Turbine Core II Silencer
Klotz R50 Synthetic 40:1, highest octane pump gas

I do believe the combo of analog ignition and the large flywheel did in the 38mm carb. A lighter flywheel and the 36mm might have been the ticket. The digital curve and 13/52 gearing seems to allow the 38mm carb to work as designed. It will be interesting to see some major temp/humidity changes, but I'll deal with it.

My last piece of advice to the boy was...Figure out where the power is, fan the hell out of the clutch and rip it. Sometimes he listens!

Everyone should make sure to post race reports in the 'Racing' forum...we all love to read them and the season is upon us!

Good Luck Husqvarna125, make us proud!

Coffee, If you like closeups...I think he was enjoying this a little too much. The sound clip makes a blip, but it was not the bike. Maybe it was some of the roost I was taking for the team.

I think it'll be like Evan's RM. One setting for cold weather and one for warm weather (Generally, a move with the clip and one move on pilot). Once it dropped to around 50 degrees, I could tell because his pilot would lean and the RM started getting a higher idle, plus it would get just a little stumple flogging the throttle.

What is going to be fun, we have back to back, carbon copy 09 wr125 engines. I can't wait to do a ride comparison with the CR ignition.

Thanx for posting your work cause it helps go high speed instead of dial up!

darty, one BIG variable is still the timing. I went with ''as close as possible'' to wally's blue mark.

Others have posted this mark may have the timing retarded a degree. But I'm not going to question the performance at this mark. In race mode and at the end of 2 hours this mark may be the saving grace to finishing strong instead of hanging on for dear life! Has some of that predictable torque and pull...nice.
