Wow Sarge. That thing must stand up straight w/ the timing, 52t, and jetting huh?! Try not to kiss that front fender too much!

If you would have bought a YZ then it would have stood up in 5th gear without having to spend all that money! :p

ok now, listen very carefully 'cause you're not gonna believe this, i wanted the lighting kit, i use my bike for the comute back to my dock, through the woods. it's my daly driver. ;) i can put the light back on pronto, plus i like the gearing of the wr. jeremys' suspension feels just as plush as stock, i've bottomed the forks off the bumpers pretty hard, but gotta tell ya, smooth as silk. i bottomed doing about 80 deg g-outs, i'm suprised the suspension has held up at all. ya go down, fast on this side, then you start going right up the other side,fast. maybe adj compression, but even when banging the bumpers, it's smooth.! :aj: that 52 tooth rear sprocket really makes it ride like i like it too.

I had trouble deciding between the YZ and WR. If the YZ had the wide ratio tranny and 18" rear wheel, it would be perfect for me. Or if the WR had the YZ cams and jetting and was 15 lbs. lighter then it would be perfect for me. :silly: I had to compromise and go with the one that I would enjoy most with spending as little money on aftermarket goodies.

After riding both bikes, I have to say the YZ feels almost the same weight as the WR. That is of course without the kickstand, and w/ the YZ tank. Regardless, they are both still too heavy compared to the CRF. :whiner:
