  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

This may have been asked before and I apologize if it has. With that said here goes.

I have a line on a CR-250 which is either a 2001 or 2002. A dealer in my area has this bike and it has sat for some time. The dealer installed a new top end and other than that the bike appears to have normal wear for it's age. My question is can this bike be made into a good off-road bike/woods bike? and is $1600.00 a fair price? any and all opinions welcome.

I'm not a 2st or mx person but since no one else is giving you an answer yet...

First thing I would do is look at the specifications, especially the gear box spacings. If the gearbox is super close ratio that might make a difference.

On the other hand your Cafe Husky name is "oldmx" so you probably knew that...



Maybe someone will be more helpful soon. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks Coffee;

I found that the bike is a 2001. I have been looking for a WR-250 but since this CR is close I just wanted to know if it could be made to work as a woods bike.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Friend has an '02 CR250 he used for a woods bike, with a FMF Gnarly pipe as the only mod and liked it. That said, he bought my '00 WR250 and prefers it for the woods and now will use the CR250 for light MX riding.
 
Thanks Norman just the info I was looking for. I think I will stick with my 125 and big bore it.

I think a CR would need a heavy flywheel weight, my WR does for sure! The Standard WR pipe or an FMF Gnarley seem hard to beat power wise. Most of our riding (UK) is tight and twisty, mud rocks and roots. I use a WER and Tireballs to make life easier! :)
