  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

125-200cc 2003 WR 125.

Hi all. New to Husqvarnas and new to 2 strokes.

I have bought my daughter a superb 100th anniversary WR125. She loves it and I've had a ball riding it too despite me being 200cm and 115kg.

It will be due for new chain and sprockets soon. I've heard that O ring chains are a no no.

What chains would be suitable, and how many links? What sprockets?

Any tips will be most welcome.

We have had good luck with the O-ring chains. Depends on the brand and width as whether or not they will fit in the stock chain guide well. Aftermarket chain guides and you will be fine. Sprockets are personal preference and gearing opinions seen to vary drastically based on type of terrain and skill level. Also I think the 100th anniversary were actually 2004 model years, I know the math doesn't add up, but at least in the states they were 04's.
 
Hi, yes it's actually a 2004 plated model.

How do I determine chain width? Is that where the '520' come in? Any idea how many links long the chain needs to be?

Thanks in advance, Andrew
