  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

I'm looking for more power from my wr250 & was wondering if the 360 top end can be fitted also
every time I see the specs it says my bike has a six speed box mine definately only has five & I can account for the bikes entire life its never had either the engine or gearbox opened so wheres my other gear .
 
What year is your bike ? Edit : In your avatar do you mean a 2000 model ? If so I think they were 5 speeds.
 
My '09 250 is way faster than my '00 360. The 360 has more grunt, about the same mid but nothing up top where the 250 takes off.

Never rode a 300 but hear good things about them and the top end would probably fit your bike
 
Yeh its a 2000wr still has good compression & embarases a lot af new bikes but it is getting on & doesn't have the same poke it used too. With the gearbox the spec sheets definitely say six speed for that year & it feels like it needs another gear plus very rarely it will jam in gear & has to be turned off & rocked to get it out .I am about to do a complete rebuild so any advice to get more bottom end & midrange would be great
 
I have a 2000 wr motor and it is a wide ratio five speed.Eric Gore(sp) ports them and he has a kit to go 265 or so. I talked to him a couple years back when I was due for a rebuild but in the end, did it locally.
 
360 top end won't fit in a WR250 motor...different motor altogether.

You can get a Eric Gorr big bore kit for a WR250 which will bring it up to a 295cc which can be expensive if your from Australia so do you have a budget for this bike for the rebuild?
If your from Victoria or NSW, give Dave McCarthy from two stroke performance a call and get a quote on a big bore kit and he can do the porting, squish and jetting.

2k WR250 had a better bottom and mid then most 250's in that era so a couple of easy mods like gearing and change from OE pipe to a FMF gnarly does wonders.
 
The 250 can be changed to a 300. A local husky dealer told me if I do the switch id have to change pipes or the bottom end would be too hard to control. This confused me because I thought the 250/300 had the same pipe factory. But the mid and top I was told would improve a good amount
