Cool... I really hope Husky has addressed some of the little guys issues. There's gonna be a lot of unhappy people that have the 09/10 WR125. With all the problems they have had with them. And now Husky introduces a new cc. Just try and get rid of your WR125... The new WR150 will drive the price down on resale value quite a bit. Only chance will be to put a 144cc kit in your older WR's and keep it...Or just buy a Gasser.

Dave,

So what are the little guy issues? I have my ideas, but really interested to hear yours......
I know you didn't like your '09 WR125, but I don't think there will be lots of unhappy owners. The OEM 144 kit on a leftover '09 WR125 is the dirt bike bargain of the decade. I pretty sure a Gas Gas owner can't look down at Husky when it comes to resale value in the short term. I usually sell a Husky much further down the road, when resale catches up. We buy them to ride them, not sell them... right?

The only or main issue I know of was a low/mid range bogg/ hesitation. My friend has a 09 WR125 and after re-jetting and PV adjustments it's a very nice bike. Myself I picked up a new left over 2008 Husky CR125 for $2,999.00 OTD and it's been completly trouble free and tons of fun. Awesome bikes. Keep in mind Husky has a factory 144 kit they sell complete ready to bolt on.

My current practice bike is a 04 CR 125. I love that thing. It runs and handles so ridiculously good it is insane! The only thing I have ever done to it since I bought it new is White plastic, (2) top ends, suspension revalve, and and PWK Carb. It still has the original clutch! It just runs and runs and I rip on it. I love this bike. I have always wanted to ride a newer one to see the difference in chassis.
