     WR = 2st Enduro & CR = 2st Cross

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Does your WR300 vibrate a lot ???
On idle on the stand in the garage, the bike go back by itself...
When i rode it, the vibration are not to bad, but on idle on the stand...:eek:
 
I dont really notice it while I'm riding or warming the bike on the stand, but judging by the amount of bolts that have rattled loose I would say the 300 does like to vibrate.
 
The WR250 is a vibrator as well. Very noticeable trading between my 2010 TXC250 and my buddies 07 WR250. The TXC is a lot smoother.
 
If you think the WR vibrates bad hop on a TE450 for a few minutes. I don't notice the vibes on my WR after the first few minutes, but the TE450 I rode was horrible. Brad.
 
My WR250 is a shaker. Yes, my motor mounts are tight. I put some goo in the bars and the helped some.
 
What can be done about the vibration issue on the WR250/300 models?
Has anyone experimented with aftermarket parts like for example rubber engine mounts, or even by having the engine partially re-engineered? I am hesitating to purchase a WR300, as this issue is mentioned in all reviews I have read about this bike. Thanks.

Its really not that big an issue i think. When i first got my 300 i thought "uh oh" the vibration may irritate me. But i have yet to notice it when ridng. I just check bolts more often and its all good otherwise.
 
Wouldn't worry about it unless you leave it on the stand on a concrete floor :) I left my 360 idling for a few minutes whilst ducking into the little boys room and found the bike half down my driveway.
Like any twostroke husky...regularly check all fastners.
 
Mine vibrates a little, went for a ride the other day warmed her up rode up the driveway, parked it on the stand still running and hopped off and went to shut the gate only to turn around and find her dancing her back back down the driveway...a little humorous to those watching, but nothing too serious. Its not that noticable when riding. From memory the handlebar clamps are rubber mounted. A good friend of mine is into vintage racing and I've ridden a few of his older big bore two strokes - YZ490s etc and they really vibe, as in they'll rattle your feet off the pegs - so the WR really is quite good for what it is!
 
My friends KTM 300 vibrates slightly less then the Husky, but once driving i don´t fell any difference, but mine also goes back on the stand on idle. Maybe an engine balancing cures it a bit, but that involves some work...
