[QUOTE="SPEAKERMAN, post: 72925, member: 120"] I don't know what article you were reading, but you are way off on your assessment. The new WR has a 'YZ 250 [I]inspired[/I] frame' : it uses the same YZ dimensions, but different wishbone so it will flex more. The YZ suspension is not valved the same as a YZ, if fact it's valved more like a stock KTM. Soft, but controlled. The Fuel Injection is not off of any other YZ model and is new to the new WR. It uses a 4 port nozzle instead of the easy-to-clog 12-port nozzle. But it can be upgraded. It still has the same motor as the 2007 WR, but with a different exhaust cam. Still the same Wide ratio tranny, compression ratio, stator moving mass, etc. etc. It is not an old YZ motor.
