125-200cc I made my own 165 Kit

Hopefully as guys wear out their 165 bottom ends, they will want 177 bore and stroke motors from you!

It's a shame that the Husky 125/144 is no longer in production. IMO with KYB forks it's still the best bike in it's class ever made. I'd prefer a 144 to my YZ125 but when they quit making them I opted not to switch.

I plan on riding WB165 for another 2 years and may never sell it. Everybody I let ride it comes back with a big smile. Esepeciallly since I got suspension revalved and resprung buy LTR. Now suspension can keep up with motor.

I have 2 extra sets of PV's that I'll never use. One set from a factory 125 and another from a factory 144, both in perfect condition.
If you know anyone looking then feel free to send em my way.


And a huge thanks to Walk for the effort and dedication he's put into this project!
My 165 jug has been all over and is still kicking ass.

I had some time fitting the 165 yesterday, next time i ll have to get the carb dialed in.

Go Miezie Go! You're going to love it, most fun you can have with your clothes on

Do you have a 177 Norman? what's it like?

I did a 10minutes test run around the village, i think its because the carb is set up far too rich- it feels like the engine doesnt like to rev, or its the Fmf Expansion chamber (which i never really liked).

No I don't, but I should have one. Walt has told me tales of this bike and it sounds awesome. Hopefully Walt will chime in.

I fitted the 165pipe today, got it from shawbagga (Thank you much buddy!) and changed the main jet- thats so much better now! Gearing has been changed from 12:52 to 13:49- its still lifting the front wheel easily!

Should have told me you wanted to try a 177! Was at WGI this past weekend for the american endurance racing and only brought my SM as a pit bike.

Too bad.... You need to come to NE Husky Gathering this fall!

Don't remember, did you get Walt's PV springs? I installed white/green springs, so the PV opens @ 1000 rpm earlier and love it. I short shift to stay out of the PV, but when I can I let her rip and she is seriously fast. I run 13:49 also, I think this setup would be great for MX. Definitely roost some 250F riders

Nope- i m runnig the standard pw springs- but i have the option to re-set the pw arm linkage so it would open easier/earlier.

I did both, adjusted the linkage according to info here and replaced the springs. I think the springs were only $25 + shipping and well worth it to me.

Today i spent some time to get the dent blown out of the expension chamber. Hopefully that helps me powerwise.

Look what i got after a tidy up in my garage... ;-)
Will try to get it fitted tomorrow

Good work, I was wondering what a plated pipe would look like after a dent repair

They look like that nc i smashed my gnarly up on the first rally i did.. The first trip out on it lol. Should of taken photos before i went but hindsight is a winderful thing.

Can you direct me to that info? I adjusted it how I was told by a Husky mechanic, and it ran like shit, so I preloaded it more and it runs great now. Wondering if some fine adjustment, or different springs might make it better.
