  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 90 hours on wr165 still like new compression

Huskys are tough and Ammsoil is some good stuff, I have way over 200 hrs (probably closer to 300) on the OEM piston on my WR250 and still 205 psi cranking compression.

Did you have your head machined for more compression? My stock compression was only 170 PSI on my 2008.
 
My 2008 cr125 and after doing 144 had 175 psi. My first 165 on 2008 cr had 205 psi but had to run race or could detonate put under big load but did have better grunt. My 2013 wr 125 had about 170 psi stock after changing to wr 165 has been 195psi and stayed there for 90 hours. Can run less race gas with lower compression and never heard it detonate.

It is a factory head and I did have to run race gas or it would detonate unless jetted a little rich. I've run race gas in my wr250 since the beginning (after trying one tank of 93 pump gas) and feel it is part of the reason for the long life of the top end.. Amsoil and spot on jetting being the other reasons.
 
Not sure what Wallybean did to make 165 rip but looks like some porting and playing with base gasket to get the right squish or what ever they call it.

Wow, I wonder why yours had that much compression. I thought all of the 250/300's were below 180 PSI.

The 300s have 160-180 unless you buy the race head. I just now checked my compression with 1 ride since new top end and it's 202psi. I do know that the base gasket that mine had was the second to the thinnest available from Halls/OEM and I put the same thickness back in. Maybe you could gain a few psi with a thinner base gasket.
