    Hi I am Justin from the UK.Recently changed from BMW to Husky.Swapped out the G650X for the 2008 610 and the G450X for the TE450.Had enough of the crunchy,nothcy gearbox on the 650 and the high service costs of the 450.
    Both the new bikes are on the way to being run in - so glad I swapped to the huskys both are much more rewarding to ride.
    The 450 is so smooth and will tackle mud really well without loseing much traction.The 610 is just getting beter and better the more I ride it.I may have to make a coupel of mods.The gear selector is a bit too close to the foot peg with size 12 boots on and I may need to lift the bars up a little but really these are minor niggles.Just keep smileing all the time Im riding,for me this is what its all about.

    Good to have found the forum

    noob to this forium

    Hi all,
    this is my second husky 06 SM510R. the first one broke 6th gear playing with gsxer and R-1's. I sent it to a shop to update the bike and they made a mess of the bike. They ended up giving me a ducati hypermotard which was an interesting ride for a piece of shyte. Nice engine, horible suspension/geometry.
    anyway just got an other 06 sm510r with 40 hours and 1200 miles on it.
    The bike has just been sitting because of a work injury by the former owner.
    Its running now and the carb is sorted out but its very noisey. The bike had a delaminiation of the metal/rubber on the intake manifold. The valve adjustmen is in spec so i'm thinking burnt piston. Fun stuff. We will see.
    anyway thanks for reading this blip

    Hello from Melbourne Australia.

    My first post. I’m a 50 years old and have an XR440 which I purchased new in 1999. No new bike since has really grabbed my attention, but for the WR125. I raced a Yamaha 125 in 2000 when an injury ended my session. I have always loved small bikes for racing. You can only ride so fast in the bush anyhow.
    In 2000 the fastest 125s were the TMs and Huskies. These bikes never really got a good run in the popular press.

    Looking at the 2010 WR125, I wonder if the new frame is really an advantage. The motivation behind the offset rear shock was to allow the adaptation of fuel injection for the four strokes without having to modify the engines. I guess if on the WR125 the carburettor and air filter duct is straight then there maybe an advantage ?

    Is anyone able to give an impression how the wr125 handles compared to the other 125s ?

    Welcome to CafeHusky, Topari :cheers: Lots of WR125 owners here, and most of them are discussing their 125's in the 2-stroke forum. I'm certain they can answer your questions :thumbsup:

    Welcome to CafeHusky, Jeff, and good luck sorting out your 510 :)

    Joined a few weeks ago, learned a lot already. Recently picked up a 1980 CR390 in great shape. It had been sitting for awhile. Put in a little pre-mix and it fired right up on about the 5th kick. Great bike. Can anyone tell me the preferred crankcase oil and volume? I put Shell 30W in it for a quick test run, and had to guess at the volume, but I would rather put some good stuff in it at the right level before I run it for more than a few seconds. BTW I also have a 76 Falta 250 that I've been restoring for the last couple of years. Took it completely apart down to the last nut and bolt. It's about 95% now. Thanks in advance for any help.
