Old man new on the block.. Proud owner of a Wr 300 .. I’m out in British Columbia ,Canada ... this is such an awesome site ... be following for a long time ... you guys/gals rock
Thanks so much DirtDame to make this happen ... I’ll be sure to chime in on what I’ve done to my Wr 300
She’s a killer woods machine for me .... most of the improvements to it have come from you all.
Thanks so much !!!

Sorry for the double post

Sorry for the double post

Don't worry. I fixed that.

So with all the reading up I’ve done here and hearing so much about the Large rear rotor kit mod some of you have done ...
I went ahead and ordered the parts .... they are still available

Shark fin ( Zip Ty ) - SF129

Rear brake disc - 8B00H4977

Disc fasteners - 800055878

This conversion takes the rotor ( 220 mm ) and now becomes ( 240 mm )
And the new fasteners make the disc a solid mount .. ( no more rattle )
And the shark fin offers some good protection

I just thought I’d put up the part numbers and let you all know ... it’s still out there .. : )

I see Halls has a few sets of plastic on eBay up for the Wr these are oem ... included are the headlight bezel ... tank shrouds and the side panels ... good way to replace your worn/ busted up plastics with OEM .. and around 80 bucks for a complete set

So I dropped my seat off to get shaved down .... gonna try for the bottom looking one..... my stock one looks exactly the top one .... not much to work with ... should be ready Friday ... : )

 

[Chisler]

I also have lowered the Wr 300 25mm I’ll add the Zeta part numbers when I get a chance

Clutch cable at the end of your adjustment ... try this little trick with some M8 washers
: )

 

[Chisler]

Gets ya back in the game
: )

 

[Chisler]

Don’t forget the cable lube while your at er
: )

 

[Chisler]

Oil lite bushing also works .... guess I got a lot time on my hands
Lol

Hmmmm....the cable on that model has a lot of adjustment range. Maybe check your clutch plates thickness?

 

[Chisler]

Yes .... time to lay the bike over ... pull the clutch cover .... I’m tryin to eliminate this clutch drag ... what brand of lubricant are you running .... maybe sitting over the winter the clutch plates are stuck together ... it is a motion pro clutch cable ..... but from what I hear these Huskys are notorious for clutch drag

Using the Terminator cable by Motion Pro helps a lot, but nothing seems to eliminate the drag completely. I have been using Honda Proline transmission oil in both of my WRs. For some reason, the 125 doesn't have any problems at all with clutch drag, even with a stock cable. I suppose that this is because it is much daintier design than the one in the 300.

not exactly the same
but my 360 had some clutch drag and as they are in the same family it might count
adjusted the clutch screw behind the cover, it helped
went to pure synthetic, can't remember the brand at this moment, but it says clutch saver on the bottle
after the 2nd oil change it seemed to be literally gone, hope that helps, maybe consider a different oil

 

[Chisler]

Thank you 2premo I’ll start checking that adjustment forsure ... and start doing some research on the lubricants you and Dirtdame have mentioned .

Bel Ray says Gear Saver on it. Not sure if any brand has clutch saver written on it.
