Hi !,
Yesturday, after 5 month of storage for the winter (i live in Quebec, Canada) i have re-start my WR300 2010 for the first big ride of the season. About 250km of very ruff tail, a lot of water, mud, rock, single trail with step hill and a little of fire road. All i can say is WOW, each time i ride this beast, each time im very impressed... I really can't understand how people can have complaint about this bike. The motor is just incredible, i can run it like a tractor at very low rpm all day long and it never stall, it run clean all the time. On the open trail, the power can be brutal if you want. In the engine department, this the best motor i have seen in 20++ years of trail riding. 4 strokes torque with 2 strokes response and never stalling.
The suspension and brake on my 2010 is also very impressing. Just perfect for me. Perfect for trail riding and also some session of pure MX. Not a problem. The bike turn on 10 cents and is a freight train on the straight.
Yesturday, i have made the ride with 5 of my buddy. (13 hours !)
- KTM 530 2010 (run very good, but way too heavy for this ride and stalling all the time)
- KTM 300 2009 (overheated many time, even if the temperature is about 5 degree celcius...)
- Yamaha WR450 2008 (Too HEAVY, i think my buddy have lost 20 pounds !!!)
- CRF450R 2007 (stalling all the time, but the best 4 strokes of the day.)
- KTM 200 200? (blow engine... the motor have drink some very cold water)
- My WR300... Just to much fun !!!, light, powerfull, and big smile !
At the end of the day, we have made about 10 drag race between all the bike on pavement.
The result... Husky WR300 wins all the time ! The CRF450R are 2nd all the time by about 3 bikes lenght, the KTM 530 are 3rd each time, the KTM 300 and WR450 are very close in last place.
Same result time after time on a 0-130 km/h race. After 130 km/h (top speed of my bike with this gearing), all other bike can pass me with the 2 KTM in front at about 165 km/h and 155 for the CRF and WR450.
*** Dont forget, my bike have now about 145 hours, never open it now exept for modding the head. I have take the compression this morning and... 165 psi. This bike is bulletproofs. (i have never broke anything on this bike) Just change tire (4 times in the rear, 2 times in the front) and change the gearbox oil at about each 10 hours (always clean).
Sorry for the long story, but this morning i have a BIG smile in my face and my WR300 is the best choise i have made in my life of dirt rider !!!
*** Sorry for my bad english !
