[QUOTE="MWEISSEN, post: 153540, member: 16873"] Reoundel, I've got a '99 WR and know what you're talking about. In tight stuff, my old XR would have run circles around the WR. A couple things that I've done that help tremendously: 1. Get a different tank and seat. A YZ tank works the best if you can live with the shortened range because it drops the top-heaviness a little bit. Otherwise an Acerbis, IMS or Clarke tank will give you range and still work better than stock. 2. The stock pipe is heavy and affects low-end power transition. I use a YZ pipe with a BMP disk kit. It works well and was really inexpensive (find a YZ owner with an aftermarket pipe and you're in business). 3. I put Scotts Performace -5mm offset triple clamps on, and that also really helped tight turning. 4. Suspension settings for the environment are critical for this bike to be effective. Fortunately is does react well to changes. I run mine pretty stiff for everything but what you described, then I'll back both ends out 2-4 clicks. If you haven't cut the "gray wire" under the tank yet, you've really gotta try it. The midrange response really improves. [/QUOTE]
