250-500cc WR300 love thread.

i see, still sucks i guess but its much better than what i thought. here i was kinda depressed about it even though im on the opposite side of the country! and here it wouldnt even affect any of my bikes..not sure its possible, but i would just be even more of a bike and part hoarder than i am now

what doesnt fit up with the gnarly stu? if its anything like the PC platinum 2(fitment wise) then i wont bother!

Not as bad as the platinum.

Where the rear of the expansion chamber goes into the silencer, it doesn't butt up perfectly thats all. I am a bit anal when it comes to things like that. Makes no difference and I would be the only o e to notice but I do. Definitely an improvement all round over the platinum.

I installed a lightly used Gnarly and didn't like the fit. I'm using a QStealth silencer, not the stock. The worst part was that the pipe was higher up where it snakes through the frame, within a hair of the shock reservoir and too close to the airbox. It looked to me like the modding the silencer mounts would fix it. Anyway, I like the performance of the stock pipe with the QStealth better. I am planning to try a TC2 silencer with the Gnarly and hope for a good fit or just plan on modding it then.

I ride with a guy who has exclusively ridden Service Honda CR500AF's for the last 13 years. I can tell you from his and my experience with those bikes.... the reason your friend didn't make the hill was because of rider error. It wasn't that the CR500AF wasn't up to the task. They are incredible machines. Wish I had a beast like that in my garage.

If I had 12K to spend on a bike, it would have been a SH CR500AF. I didn't, so I purchased another great off roader... 2014 WR300.

whered ya get it from Stu & how much?

I can't believe how expensive the exhaust orings are. One of mine went bad & she was spitting oil out the front of the motor. I repacked my silencer as well.I noticed she was spitting oil everywhere the last couple times I ran her. I couldn't find any orings local, so I had to spend over $30 for four of them online. I couldn't find any Viton orings for the silencer, so I had to use a standard one in the ends. One local shop told me he uses standard orings on the pipe where it meets the head, I can't see how that would work.

Put me down for loving this bike! This is my 1st season on the 300 and before that I always had japan's crfs. No comparison on the tight stuff or the open desert. I don't know how I waited so long.

Halls & it was $230 US back in November. Shipped it over with a heap of other stuff.

Just got my WR300 a few months ago. Not had a lot of seat time on it, but will ride 8 hours a day for four days in a row Memorial Day weekend. Just got all the parts and mods done to make it mine and can't wait to test the WR's metal this trip.

A few more...

looks like a nice old f series as well!

Oh yeah. Nice eye!

1986 F350 single rear wheel, 4x4 crew cab. Has a modified 6.9 IDI diesel. It has a ZF 5 speed instead of the old C6. It's my haul rig. It only comes out of the shop in the spring. Hibernates all winter out of the weather and salt. Love old Ford diesels. My daily driver is another '86 F250 diesel.

Crew cab with the camper.


Daily driver is the tall black one. It has a '92-'97 front clip on it.


Heath

you got the red 7602 clutch cover coming to match ignition cover?

Yeah.

Wish it was on the bike before this trip. But, it'll be a while before they are finished and shipped.

Heath

I don't know how y'all keep your bikes so pretty. Mine looks like I pushed it off of a cliff a time or two.

My secret.... it's brand new.
