250-500cc $4000 for 2009 WR300...OK?

[DaveI]

Bike shop has a 2009 WR3000 for $3995...Comes with lighting kit...
Is this a decent deal?
Also...What is the largest aftermarket tank I can fit on this bike? I'm
going to the desert to an area where the nearest fuel is 30 miles away
so I want the biggest tank that will fit...
Oh and one more thing...When kicking the thing to start it the kickstart
always hits the footpeg and you can't get a full kick stroke...Is this misadjusted
or are they like this? I thought it was a misadjustment until I tried the 2010 model
by it and it was similar...
TIA

Just for reference I paid 4k for my 09 wr300 Glenn Kearney bike.

Kickstart always hits the footpeg. There's nothing you can do about it. What does seem to help is turning the kickstart one spline forward gives slightly more rotation for kicking and still just clears the pipe.

Depends, How many hours are on the bike if available ? Does it need any of the normal wear stuff such as tires , sprockets, chain, plastic, grips.......ect. ? If not, I would say that is a fair price. In my area, a left over 2010 WR300 model is $6499 pius freight , prep, doc fee, title fee and tax. As far as tanks, I think a 3.4 Gallon IMS is available, I am not sure on any other bigger tanks. My 2010 WR300 hits the footpeg also, I guess it is the nature of the beast.

There is a 3.7 gallon Clarke that fits. Pretty much any tank that fits the 4 stroke from that era also fits the WRs.
+1 on the kickstarter ... you get used to it.
Pricing sound good depending on the answers to those questions posed by Woodsrider101 above. It could be showroom new, or thrashed to within a millimeter of its life.

 

[DaveI]

It's a new leftover model...THANKS for the replies.

 

[Pinittowinit]

If it's new without a doubt that's a great deal.

 

[Daniel508s]

I would also say, 4k for a band new bike is a great deal.

 

[hamiltonuh60]

I wouldn't pass that deal up either, take it!

In norway, that bike would cost at least 14 - 15.000 us dollas..

Can you even ride it other than roads in Norge? My mom is fom Oslo and i lived thier one summer. Cool place but crowded and pristine. I cant imagine they would allow it other than roads?

Jump on it. If I'd have seen it a few weeks ago I'd have a 2009 300 instead of a 2010 300.

The starter is not an issue and the big IMS tank will get you about 100 miles.

You can ride it legally on tracks if you want to. We have one track in a city called sarpsborg not far from where I'm living.
There are a lot of other places you can drive (on forest trails, on fields, dirt roads and so on) if you want to. Its not legal, but no one cares anyway. It is very rare that someone call the cops, but if you get caught you'll probably lose you're driving license and get a heavy fine.
