Here's a shot of her still at the bike show the day I brought her home. Will be a week or two before I can put her back together. And get her dirty.

Interesting ....
I've seen you over on Cafe husky and was wondering why you went with the gasser .... I'm actually headed in the other direction ... 47 yrs old I've got an 06 300 and am looking to get on a small bore. I picked up a cheap 08 cr 125 holdover last may ... I agree with some of what you said about riding the 125 ... I popped the top end and eric gore 144'ed it. went for more bottom to mid ..... no ride time on it yet. If it works for me it will be a keeper and I will sell the 300. If it doesn't work I'll go with a gasser 200 or maybe a 250 f of some sort ... berg 390??? Nice looking 300 btw |

I've been following a few WR125 threads on CH, those that have them seem to like...once they get it figured...yet it seems most want more cc's....144. Being that I am pushing 50, I am still very happy with my 200. I would like to have a 125 to toy on! Enjoy that new 300....what a great looking bike!
Thanks

Yes one of the members on C/H "Wallybean", has done his homework on the WR's infamous mid range bog. He has put together a package of new Power valve springs which changes the opening characteristics. The members that have purchased them swear by them. Also many have installed the 144 kits.

I plan to get one of those kits and play with it on my 144. MY biggest complaint about husky is the bikes are so damn tall. everyone in italy must have a 36 inch in seam!!

One of the things I had troubles with is the front brake on the 125. A handful of brake on the TE510 stops you real fast....a handful of brake on the 125 put me over the bars...

Jets
Hey Dave,
Did you play with the jetting yet? We burned a little gas on the river bank today my GG was running a little cranky, late November fuel! See you for a ride next week? James |

I have not done the jetting mod yet...but I did purchase a "JD Jetting" kit and will be installing it once she's broken in.
When I brought her home from the show. I dismantled all to get rid of the factory white lithium grease (which was used very sparingly) and packed all bearings with Motorex and changed all fluids. Put some new fuel in her and did a couple of heat cycles. A couple of times around the block just to put a smile on my face . Then I ripped the front forks off her and sent them to Les @ LTR. While she's been sitting on my bike stand (frontendless) I've started to see what item cross over from my Husky. Thus this thread. I guess I still have some kid left in me cuz I'm getting kinda antsy.

Sounds like you've got your priorities right.
Good call!

I finally got around to doing a little machining on my old front disc guard from Motospotz that I had on my 125. I talk to Kelly and told him of the mods I did but said there was not enough volume to machine the guards to fit the Gassers... hmmmm Maybe we should all write him....
