250-500cc wr 250 question

I have a 2000 wr 250, first husky, fist woods bike, Awesome! love it. It didn`t come with an owners manual. I downloaded the 2002 version thanks to the people on the cafehusky forum, and I was just curious as to how close the jetting of the 2000 is to the '02. Also, I know it's a great woods bike, but I can`t leave things alone. I was wondering if there are some little things with the setup, or mods that work especially well on this bike, just some tricks of the wr trade since I`m not a long time husky owner. Thanks in advance for any help, as it is greatly appreciated. P.S.- Sorry about all the run-on sentences.

The forks can be much better with a re-valve. The WR 250 may be the ideal match for a rekluse pro auto clutch.

I'd say the '00 to '02 jetting should be pretty close, unless the carb itself is different. Get a Keihin and life will be even better.

And like wallybean said, the rekluse pro is perfect for this bike. I've had the pro on two other bikes and didn't really feel it was much benefit, but I really like it on this WR.

Dial in the suspension. Nothing better than god suspension set-up on any bike.

Neat thing is, you can swap parts and actually turn your '00 into a 2010 clone, relatively easy. Kelly could probable do the same with his '93.

They are a really nice bike, I just wish I'd got one about ten years ago. I've had really good race results with it since the first race and I'm really just starting to figure out how to use it effectively.

one more thing

I also have another question wich may sound a little stupid. My `02 owners manual says no more than 50:1, which seems a little vague to a layperson like myself. The guy I got my bike from ran a 50:1 fuel mixture, and on a thread I was reading the guy ran a 40:1 ratio. And also if I`ve been running 50:1, and 40:1 is better, is it ok to switch, or wait till the next rebuild, and I just rebuilt it like <10 hrs ago. Sorry I ask so many questions, but I haven`t been in contact with any people knowledgable on husky`s so I`m kind of like a kid in a candy store.

IMO, it depends on what oil you are running. If the oil is formulated to run at 50:1, then run it at that. If it's a multi-ratio then run it at whatever you fill comfortable with, or what the mfg. recommends.

thanks! you guys are so much help. I run motul 800 2t at 50:1, so I guess I`ll be fine. Husky`s are just so nice, I feel I have to keep it in top condition just out of respect for the bike, so I`m glad to have assistance in doing so, it is much appreciated. I still like the ideas on how to improve it too. I put a torque spacer on it, and I was wondering what the best thickness is, so in case it is too thick I can have it machined down. I can tell a little difference, but I`ve heard that too thick can hurt your throttle response, which I`ve also noticed a little. I think it needs new reeds too, so that will be next. Thanks again.
