125-200cc WR125 - 09 vs 10 vs 11

The 2011 WR125 Bill has is supposed to have a 2.35 gallon tank (same as 2010 I think). Is this the "big" tank or did I miss a post somewhere. It's hard to keep up with all the exciting 2011 stuff. 2.35 is better but if they are making a larger one that is great!

Cool! Husky is doing an amazing job with rapidly improving the brand.

With the 2011 WR150 I guess it is probably in reality more of a 2010.5. It looks like they took 2010 bikes and stuck the 144 top end on it. Which was a good idea as it got a cool bike to market fast but maybe that is why the tank is not as big as the other 2011 models.

What forks are on the 2010? What about the 2011?
Are the 50mm Marzochi potentially better than the KYB's?

It looks like they turned the rear shock reservoir.

Water Racer,

What I do know is that after Les at LTR got done with my 50 TC zoch's they are really a majic carpet ride. No muss no fuss they just obsorb everything and don't deflect. I wish I had the talent to take advantage of this package.

The 50mm TC's are excellent forks.

I have them on my 04 WR250.....supple and never bottom.

My marzocchis dual chambers work very well also and no $$ spent on them except for oil and my own work time... so I really like them ... But if UR gonna send UR forks off for re-valving ... its not gonna matter .... they'll fix any of em ...

And unless you wanna go very fast down trails or where ever, U'll most likely never top out any of these forks capabilities ... As I got my forks better and better, I could go faster and faster ... But there is a limit to my other skills and I'm not out there to eat a big plate of crap, so I ~never top the forks out and when I get close, I know it is time to slow up some ...

Although a good tuner can make any fork better they are still limited by the platform they have to work with. What forks you start with makes a difference.

I rode the 50mm TC zokes and the 45s on the same day on the same terrain. Both were fresh LTR revalves for about the same weight rider. The 50s’ were waaaaaaaaaaaaay better! I’ve actually ridden several LTR valved 45s’ and have never been impressed. I think a tuner can only get so much out of these forks.

As for the standard 50s’ I do not know how good they can be which is why I do not know if I should worry about the forks on the 2010 and 2011.

After riding a KTM for a few years, I find the 09 wr125 suspension to be a big improvement. I did not even touch a clicker until my third ride. The forks are stiff, but the bike goes straight and doesn't deflect. I will eventually send them to Drew Smith since he rides a wr125, he should have the inside track.
The guy I bought my bike from got a '10 txc250, and he said the kyb's are real good also.
