125-200cc Wr 125 to YZ comparison and queries

Hi guys
I had a Wr 125 06 and loved it but used to get annoyed with bogging and lack of wheelie popping mid range power
I bought an older 04 YZ 125 which was had had some porting work.
It had much more mid range hit and was fun in that way but it was also unrefined. It felt more raw and didnt have the sweet top end that the Husky had. It ran out of legs.
But the carby was great - always clean and crisp - not sure why - different carby I guess.

It also chucked me off too easily and I broke my hand so its now gone. Its handled like crap.

Thinking about getting back on a Husky agian . Are the 09 Wr125 much better than 08 models ? (I know it has a new engine, frame, carby etc) Is the 09 125 easier to throw around than the 07 - 08?

Are 08's better than 06 ?

Trying to choose between a s/hand 08 and an 09 about $1500 Aus difference

Cheers

I believe the 09 has the same carb as your YZ did. On my 06 swaping to a Keihin made a huge difference in mid range and throttle response.

If you want a Wr to run like a jap bike then either buy a Cr or install the CR electronics into your WR If you look at some of the mods the Husky racing teams have done to there WR bikes they list CR electronics at least that is what i read

Thanks for the vid - that reminds me of my wr125 - easy to throw around through trees over logs etc sounds nice but can be noisy
They can lug ok but I think they make most sense when using the top end

I would like a CR as I can get one cheap but need to register for the road to legally ride the Forest. ( yZ was a complianced model)

Did it have a stock pipe? My 03 stock pipe had a washer thing welded in it to restrict it. Swaped it for an FMF pipe and it made a BIG difference.

It had a stock and a pro circuit pipe - couldnt tell much difference
I actually liked it best with stock muffler rather than the pro circuit

Me too.

Anyone want a PC pipe and silencer?

What bike is it for R_Little?

nice video can't say the same about the music though

Nice video, but I can't stand the music! Just kidding...what video was he watching?!?!

04-08 125

How much and what condition are they in?

Ive just bought a near new 08 wr 125 and it goes much better than the 06 I had
Havent ridden on dirt yet but much better response . I love it

Congrats and enjoy rockdancer!
