    I see they have finally increased the advertised curb weight on the WR250/300 to a more accurate 235.9 lbs. This is very close to what my 09 250 was when I weighed it. Funny!

    Now if only they would put a Keihin carb on them in place of the Mikuni....

    "The Ducati Energy ignition and Magura aluminum
    handlebar add to the list of top-shelf components that come on Husqvarna’s
    WRs."

    This is out of the WR125 section. Does this mean a digital ignition on the WR125? I might see an ignition upgrade in my future....

    Hmmm, I wonder if you could have the Digital and a WR flywheel.

    I hope they didn't just swap in the CR ignition and loose the lighting coils and flywheel.

    I'm pretty positive it isn't a digital ignition. The CR spec sheet shows a "Ducati Energy digital ignition" while the WR spec sheets leaves that out.

    But the 250/300 WR uses the same wording (Ducati Energy ignition) and we know they have the digital ignition. I don't think the 09-11 WR125/150 ignition was made by Ducati. It would be nice if they were more specific.

    I am sorry but the Mukuni works great in my opinion, and I have never needed to fuss with jetting much at all. Not sure maybe the Keihin really helps c riders or something. Halls doesn't do it.....

    All good. Black frames, silver rims, but NOT enough. Time for some real updates. My god Husqvarna,-Bmw. Get with the program. There are plenty of 2-stroke buyers available. God I can't even ride a Husky 250, or I get outdated stuff, come on do not make 13 like this !!

    Thank you i wanted to say the same thing but figured why Well my Mikuni works great on all my Husky
    CR 125 been racing it for years never adjusted a thing on it Bike has 2 National #1 plates
    WR 250 runs great everywhere and has a National # 2 plate on it
    CR/WR 300 purchased used with a Keihin carb on it and it rans bad so i ordered a JD jet kit still ran bad Then i took the Mikuni of my 2006 Wr 250 installed it on my 2010 300 and now the 300 runs great.Left it completly the same way i took it off the 250 it now flat works great
    i live at sea level but have now raced motorcross at 4,000 feet and desert at 3,000 feet and the bike runs perfect at all 3 places The Keihin so call wonder carb orginally set up by motocross auction magazine and with a JD jet kit in it now sits on the shelf

    We here have ran std Mikuni on all of our race bikes and on my Wr150 it runs great.I think race bike is alot of it,racing is on the gas and off the gas.In some places plonking around the kehin may work cleaner but I and the rest of my guys have always run Mikuni except for the TM38s that came on the 360s,wich the TMX worked great as a replacement,not to say with some playing and fiddleing you can even get TM38 to work pretty good.

    The new TMXX is a quantum leap forward for the Mikuni line when used with the RM needles. I am having very good luck with it currently once I got the floats set right.

    If I want to plonk around as you put it I back out my air screw 1/4 turn and it is clean but if riding hard I prefer it 1/4 turn back in. Nothing hard about that and certainly doesn't justify buying another carb.
