125-200cc CR/WR125 sticky?

Walt/Kelly do you think you could do a consolidated CR/WR 125 mod sticky? TMX to PWK conversion, Power Valve Spring kit info and PV arm bolt adjustment. This info just seems to be getting more spread out in multiple threads and harder to find.

Matt,

That is a great idea. I can help with some stuff and pics but I think it has all been in one post or another.

Walt

Do it however you think best, but make the essential info easy to find and updated.

Index, sticky, whatever but it sounds like a great idea to me. It will beat reading back through post trying to find the really good stuff.

I think the check list for WR125 owners is pretty much what Kelly indicated:

1) When you purchase the bike just add ~$250 to the price and order the PWK airstriker at the same time. The JD kitted PWK from Motosportz is the best way.

2) Adjust your linkage in the picture to the top.
a) IF after you have it running like a raped ape you want to change
engagement rpms or the progressive nature of how the pv's
open then invest in the spring kit.

3) Add the protection of your choice and hopefully an aluminum skid plate made to fit.

4) Add a larger tank if Husky doesn't expand the current 2.3 gallon tank.

5) After break in at the very least change your fork oil and bleed the inner chamber. I wanted more and sent mine out for some work, several very talented people to choose from- LTR, ACE, WER, etc.

6) For the auto clutch crowd, EFM does a bang up job for the Husky 125. I highly recommend them.

7) For pipes, while the stock unit works ok, I feel the FMF Fatty combined with the TC2 silencer adds a little everywhere. Kelly's Doma works phenomenal as I have heard that from others with this pipe on other makes 125's( of course you have to find one).

8) The new 125's have incredible brakes, spit you off into the tree in front of you type brakes. Add these to some Motoz tires and you can learn all about the oh s$%t moment. Controlling the rear brake is made much easier with a LHRB that works in concert with the pedal. Rekluse makes a kit that works well if expensive. EFM also makes a kit that is much less expensive but you will need to combine this with a two finger clutch lever sold by Rekluse.

9) All the bike prep tips for other models apply: grease everything that takes grease before you ride. Tighten all the usual suspects like sprocket bolts, motor mounts, etc.. Water proof your air box by either taping off the bottom water drain ports and slitting your tape or plug them with compressed airfilter foam, stops water and dirt from just flowing into the airbox.

10) My opinion is that the 144 adds that bit extra everywhere that makes a great bike close to perfect. It hauls my 230LB riding weight up pretty severe climbs any way I want to. Putzing on the bottom end, mildly motoring up quickly in the mid-range or absolutely hair on fire freaking out of control on the pipe grabbing gears as fast as you can. You can spend a little more and keep your original top end for resale and order the Husky oem kit, spend $300 less and get the Eric Gore kit, or do it yourself by ordering an 05-09 YZ144 Vertex forged piston kit from Oemcycle.com and send it with your power valves and cylinder to Millenium with a total cost of about $320. Sending your stuff to George Erl at Uptite Husqvarna is also a fairly painless way to accomplish this.

11) Maybe Coffee in his spare time can attach links to the pertinent threads that deal with all these things.

12) This really needs to be a living thread that can be added to as more "Stuff" is developed, learned, or comes available.

I was going to suggest this too advice on carby jetting, power valve, changing pistons and rings , 144 kits, compression testing, suspension adjustment could be in general forum

Very Helpful Guys and excellent idea Norm! Now I can add everything to my Husky grocery list.

I'll second Walt as long as it doesn't take his time away from R&D on the 125's LOL.

Kelly and Walt are way more qualified than me. Matt has the organizational skills!

Well as much as I could probably function as person #1 or #2 in the winter, my golf course maintenance year just kicked into the 7 day a week variety. I have only put in 40 hours in the last 3 days(yes that was a snivel, too damn windy and cold). My available time is November thru March and then I get busy. So I don't think that being responsible for this is a good Idea. I can do the winter months to relieve the main guys but this time of year I am barely coherant in the evening when I have time. I will contribute any way I can just would hate to drop the ball through exhaustion.

I think that Matt's organizational skill is a perfect match. Maybe we can talk Woodschick into taking on even more. You all know how much I like this site and have a propensity to blather on and on, I just don't want to disapoint anyone that wants to be apart of the Husky 125 frenzy.
