🏷️ Basic Information Identification Make: Husqvarna Model: WR 250 / CR 250 / WR 360 / CR 360 Year: 2002 Product Name: 2002 Husqvarna WR CR 250 360 Owners Manual Trim Levels: WR (Wide Ratio), CR (Close Ratio) Codes Chassis Codes: Likely model-specific codes (e.g., for WR250, CR250, WR360, CR360 variants) 👋 Introduction Market Position Market Position: Husqvarna's WR and CR models in the late 90s and early 2000s were positioned as potent off-road competition machines, targeting riders seeking performance and durability in motocross (CR) and enduro (WR) disciplines. They competed against established Japanese and European brands in the highly competitive 2-stroke off-road segment. Competitive Analysis Competitive Analysis: Competed with models from KTM (e.g., EXC, SX series), Yamaha (e.g., YZ series), Honda (e.g., CR series), Suzuki (e.g., RM series), and Kawasaki (e.g., KX series). Husqvarna often offered strong performance and unique European engineering at competitive price points. Key Features Key Features: Robust 2-stroke engines known for their power delivery, capable chassis for off-road riding, quality suspension components, and distinct Husqvarna styling. The WR models offered broader gear ratios for versatile off-road use, while CR models featured closer ratios for motocross track performance. 📋 Manual Details Coverage Areas Coverage Areas: Operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, minor repairs, specifications for Husqvarna WR and CR models of 250cc and 360cc displacements from the 2002 model year. Page Count Page Count: Estimated 100-200 pages (typical for an owner's manual of this era and complexity) Manual Type Manual Type: Owner's Manual Language Language: English Format Format: PDF 📖 Manual Coverage Systems Covered Systems Covered: Engine operation, fuel and lubrication systems, ignition system, cooling system (if applicable for specific variants, though typically air-cooled for this era), transmission and clutch operation, chassis components, suspension (front and rear), brakes (front and rear), wheels and tires, electrical system (lighting, indicators), controls, general operation, safety precautions, storage, and basic maintenance procedures. Procedures Included Procedures Included: Pre-ride inspection, starting procedures, operating controls, routine maintenance checks (e.g., chain adjustment, air filter cleaning/replacement, spark plug inspection, oil checks), lubrication points, basic troubleshooting for common operational issues, wheel and tire care, brake system checks, and cleaning instructions. Technical Depth Technical Depth: Covers essential user-level information for safe and effective operation and routine maintenance. Focuses on what the owner can and should do. It would not typically include detailed engine tear-down, complex electrical diagnostics, or frame repair procedures, which would be found in a full service or workshop manual. 📊 Manual Specifications File Format File Format: Digital PDF Print Quality Print Quality: High-resolution, printable pages suitable for home or professional printing. Text is likely searchable. Binding Type Binding Type: N/A (Digital Download) Paper Type Paper Type: N/A (Digital Download) ⚙️ Engine Specifications Primary Engine Primary Engine: 2-stroke, liquid-cooled (though some earlier/variant models might have been air-cooled, 2002 is likely liquid-cooled for WR/CR performance variants), single-cylinder engine. Displacement Displacement: 249cc (for 250 models), 358cc (for 360 models) Bore X Stroke Bore X Stroke: 250cc: Approx. 66.4 x 72 mm; 360cc: Approx. 77 x 76 mm (exact figures may vary slightly based on specific component sourcing) Power Output Power Output: Estimated 40-50+ HP (for 250cc), 45-55+ HP (for 360cc) depending on tuning and specific model variant (CR vs. WR). Torque Torque: Not typically published for owner's manuals, but expected to be strong for a 2-stroke of this displacement. Fuel System Fuel System: Carburetor (likely Mikuni VM series, e.g., VM36 or VM38 for 250, possibly larger for 360) Ignition System Ignition System: Electronic CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) with variable timing, likely with a kick-start mechanism. Cooling System Cooling System: Liquid-cooled with radiator and fan (standard for performance off-road bikes of this era). Lubrication Lubrication: Pre-mix fuel/oil (typical for 2-stroke off-road bikes) or separate oil injection system (less common for performance models of this era, but possible). 🔧 Transmission Standard Standard: 6-speed manual transmission Features Features: Wet multi-plate clutch, close-ratio (CR) and wide-ratio (WR) gear sets available, providing different gearing for specific riding disciplines. Clutch Type Clutch Type: Hydraulically actuated wet multi-plate clutch Gear Ratios Gear Ratios: Specific ratios would be detailed in a service manual, but WR models feature wider gaps between gears for versatility, while CR models have tighter ratios for optimized performance on a race track. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Exterior: Off-road motorcycle dimensions, typically around 85-90 inches (215-230 cm) in length, 30-35 inches (75-90 cm) in width, and 50-55 inches (125-140 cm) in height. Seat height typically around 37-38 inches (94-97 cm). Weights Weights: Dry weight typically around 230-250 lbs (105-115 kg). Fuel Capacity Fuel Capacity: Approximately 2.5-3.5 US gallons (9.5-13 liters) Wheelbase Wheelbase: Approximately 57-59 inches (145-150 cm) 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Ratings: N/A (Motorcycles are not typically rated by safety organizations like NHTSA or IIHS in the same way as cars). Active Features Active Features: Front and rear disc brakes for effective stopping power, designed for...
