I have the older bike that was been re-labled the WR 250. Mine has the 6 spd. I read another bad review below on a bike that never ran right.Mine was used,and started acting lean 3rd.time out.You would think of jetting,but that still doesn't cure.I think the fellow before me had just repaced the base gasket.(it looked brand new but was sucking air,now ) The dealer in KC MO.listed under Husqvarna is VERY accomodating & will have parts at your door in about 4 days.I can't get Yamaha or Honda parts into my local dealer that fast,its always 7 to 10 days,plus the drive.You can even change the compresion ratio a little with 3 different thickness available.If you apply Gasgesinch it will never leak again & start in 1 to 3 kicks choked & 1 kick hot. Mine now has the thick base gasket & tons of bottom end torque,while still pulling hard in 6th.to redline. It weighs in the 220's with a fantastic hiding kickstand & an FMF long stinger. Only complaint is a hard 4,5,6th gear shift.It was 8yr old & $1500. What a bargain.
