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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi everyone, well I just got back from visiting my local dealer and apparently the 2012 wr125 won't be available in canada due to low sales. I will be able to get a 2012 c r125 with the 144 kit for a great deal though! The dealer will take a pick-up I own as partial trade towards it and not charge me any freight,doc fees or pdi:applause: He will also deliver it in the crate to my door for free! I think the total amount I will pay for it in this deal will be around $3500-$4000! I am hoping to get the bike in a week or two and will keep you posted. Apparently the owner's manual is not very good with torque specs. Does anyone have the torque values for the front and rear axles,swingarm pivot bolt,rear suspension linkage? I will use my husaberg specs for the front fork pinch bolts and common sense for everything else:thumbsup:The dealer will be calling me on tuesday to let me know when he can get the bike in,and he says it might even be cheaper!! I can't wait to try it out in some of my favorite riding spots( after a proper break-in of course). I sat on a2010 cr125 at the dealer and it felt like I could pick it up and run out the door with it! My husaberg is fairly light but this thing feels invisible underneath you! Thanks everyone for the input, I will keep you posted on everything and probably have more questions:thinking:.Take care.

You won't regret owning a CR. Congrats. Keep us posted. :applause:
 
I think I do already! When I told my riding friends about it they smirked a little bit. I guess that they just don't understand the abilities of these awesome little machines and are looking forward to kicking my butt in the trails heh! heh!;). I won't say anything and let the bike do the talking:thumbsup:Extra weight and horsepower is more of an enemy than light weight and agility I think!
 
I watched as one of my friends took my then new 08 CR125 Husky and put a whipping on another friend aboard his Kaw 450 around a 1.5 mile MX track!. I know it's rider rider rider but they are pretty equal at that and it shows a little 125 pinned is as fast around a MX track as a big 450. We still laugh about it. In the trail I think they are gonna be in for a little surprise! Enjoy and don't forget to keep us posted and do a ride report.
 
Sounds like you found the deal you wanted. Suprised to hear no '12 WR125's availible, especially with Husky NA taking Canadian distribution back over after the Barretts bankruptcy.
 
Apparently not many wr125's were sold here last year so they won't be available this year:( I know from looking for a used one that there are not many around up here. Good thing my local dealer is well stocked with parts and can get them within 2-5 days! Nice video krieg:thumbsup: Good to see a husky in action!:applause:
 
It is about 1.5 lbs as I remember but don't quote me on that. But the most significant difference is the wr flywheel is much larger in diameter yielding a greater flywheel effect than just adding weight to the cr flywheel. As I have stated before I really liked the Ducati ignition on the 2012 WR125. If I rode at sea level I would have one on my 165.
 
Hi everyone, wondering if the 2012 cr125 has the tab on the frame for a kick-stand like the wr does? Can't tell from pictures on the net, even with binoculars! I was hoping it did so I can possibly use the factory wr kick-stand.I can get a universal kick-stand that attaches to the swing-arm but I prefer a frame mounted one as I don't need a curb feeler bouncing around on the trail:thumbsdown: I guess I should start a new thread as I'm not really talking about 2010 models any-more!I am also wondering if a sprocket change may be in order for trail use when my tongue is hanging out:thinking: Might go with a factory wr fuel tank as well since the after-market ones are like trying to fit the fuel tank from my or390 on the cr by the sounds of it!:lol:Thanks everyone and look for a new thread next time!
 
What I did for Jon's CR was make a pattern of the WR frame bracket. Have one cut out by a water saw out of steel the right dimension. Attach the stock kickstand to the bracket and place it on the frame where the angle is right and then tack in place. Remove the kick stand and weld solid. Re-attach the kickstand and you are good to go. The only other part that is going to need to be fabricated is the pin that the spring attaches to. Drill a hole in the right place and weld it in place.
 
Norman and Krieg, you guys are cracking me up :lol:. Around here there are so many trees I rarely use my kick stand and when I do I have to keep an eye on the bike to make sure the stand doesn't sink in the dirt and fall over.

We are here to amuse the masses! Lots of trees here too, but I find many places to use a kickstand.... like my driveway!
