250-500cc Why Should I Buy A Husky Wr 300?

Just to chime in.......I have a 2011 WR 300 and a friend has a 2006 300xc-w. I know that theres a big gap in years but here are my opinions......
Engine-my WR will flat out run all over that pumpkin! (still great in the tight stuff!)
Suspension-I feel that the Kato is very twitchy at any amount of speed. I can also say that I put more traction to the ground. (not sure why..maybe PDS?)
Cooling-I've never overheated mine.....saw the orange one puke alot of juice!
I LOVE my Husky! To keep things fair...I hate replacing shock bearings and greasing linkage. I replaced my shock bearing with a new style All Balls heim bearing and love those grease fittings! Don't get me wrong KTM makes a good bike but for my dollar I'll ride that "old school" Husky proudly any day!

I would take a look at the WR 250 that just got listed in the classified's , it is in CA , looks nice

Thanks,I'll check it out. I'm talkin to guy right now in Medford about an 09 wr 250 too.

I see you have a Husky profile now.......must be making some headway! Welcome to the new breed!

Getting closer.......

Uh Oh, looks like he's had his first sip of the red Kool-Aid. It's all over now!

454x,

Would you just go get that mega gulp cherry slurpee! We are waiting on a ride report! Oh, you might want to change your number to 711x (Funny!)

There are some great deals out there on new 09-011 WR 300's. With the money saved versus the cost of a new
Katoom, you can put some pretty cool goodies on the Husky like a pipe,stabilizer,ect......and all of sudden the
playing field is pretty level. The Husky is wicked fast, stable and reliable. Just the fact that it is a Husqvarana
and not another SuzukaYamaKawaHondaKatoom is exactly what makes it the most desirable.

It's a done deal...I'm headed to Oregon early sat morning to pick up the new to me 2009 WR 250! It has every thing already: Oversize tank-skid plate-handguards-radiator braces/gaurds-fresh lower endand top end w/new cyclinder-only thing it does'nt have is the Keihin .

Welcome to the family! Post a real good ride report. I have an 08 WR 250. Great bikes!

With the money I save buying used the 250 will become 300 torque monster I have not rode 250 in a long time so I'll be glad to ride that too. All I can say is that in 2007 I sipped the Orange Kool Aid and now I'm bored and want some red Kool Aid !

I bought the same year bike and I think you will find that the 250 works pretty darn good with the Mikuni. I have not experienced the same problems as the 125 and 300 riders are describing. If the previous owner has it jetted close you will impressed. I may try a Keihin some day just to see if it is an improvement.

I would hit up Stony but the wife and baby are going with me.

Well guy's her she is safe and sound at her new home. I feel like a bank robber I got this bike so cheap!

Congrats! I expect a full ride report.......

Looks good!

Now, was that all worth it? Looks great, nice ride!
