Husqvarna 250 XC ?

Looking at the tech specs the 83/84 250 wr & XC are very close. Both use the wr tranny, primary gearing, final gearing, the wr uses the SEM IGNITION and the XC uses the MOTOPLAT IGNITION. I'm thinking the XC used the cr cylinder. The XC suspension has about 2" more travel I guess that's the cr suspension. I'm just trying to figure out the differences between the wr and XC.

I got into this because my 84 250wr has no markings. The key find is the SEM ignition so she's a wr model.

1982=1983=1984

The cr and XC carbs are set up the same the wr is different. Thanks

I am pretty sure we have done this before, at least this time it is pretty specific. Look for the pegs in the rim and a chain guard in the wr column of the parts sheet. Maybe the headlight tail light number plate sheets as well. Do you have any of those rims with the pegs?

Not sure yet about the rims. It has the SEM with lights.(wr)

Pictures Bill ....... pictures !

he doesnt post pics

one part that could have easily been swapped in 30 years isnt a very dependable sign of what model you have. what ride height/shock length do you have? no numbers on the frame? no numbers on engine?

2089 engine number. The frame numbers starts with WO. That's a wr engine.

I would say something , but I won't .

come on homer

I'm getting the razzle dazzle that's ok.

Well you came here looking for an answer to a technical question, that was your first mistake...

lol I guess so. Next time I take the bike out I'll try taking pics. She's not purdy yet. But for $360 and she runs. She's barn fresh.

That's awesome! Where did you find that?

The neighborhood kid was riding past the house. I was in bed just woke up when I heard a familiar fin ring when he passed the house. I just caught the husky colors. Since I helped him with his other dirtbikes he stopped by to show me this one. I told him if he ever wants to sell it let me know. It was my neighbors sons bike originally. The suspension is set already since he's a big kid. We had a husky dealer in Torrington,ct. I remember seeing the new milk trucks outside. The bike wasn't running right he had no mixing ratio cup. She was smoking and too oil rich no power at all. I bought it and changed the ratio.
She's alive and well.

Bill , we like to see the before and after pics. I have shown pics of the scruppy frames I started with and then show them after putting a coat of Rustolem Epoxy on it just to show guys here what they can do with a rattle can. I have not posted anything for a few years because I have done so little with all the family issues, jobs and whatnot. If nothing else simple proof of life

It's ok looking. I'm not going to do a super job like you guys do but it will be a decent looker and a excellent runner. I'll dig up some of my old restorations that I parted with. A big mistake.

Happy to see anything- it's all progress!
