  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 cr vs. wr??

Just bought a CR 125 2012 from MotoXotica for my wife now I want one for myself! One of the coolest bikes I have rode in a long time.
:cheers: Oh and it was way cheaper than a WR.
 
Getting close to making a purchase. Lets get one more talley! Cr or wr? I like the possibility of having a headlight but... is the Cr really that much better and easier to work on? Wanting to ride t rail and boulder technical routes

Well the extra flywheel will help there and with the new ignition, larger tank, and kick stand the WR might be best. Just skip right to the 144. You will need to do some jetting with the WR but lots of thoughts on that here. Send me your 125 top end and I will convert it to 165 and then you will rule that kind of riding.
 
Pretty much what wallybean said... Spot on exactly IMO...

AND.... The WR comes with an 18" reare wheel, vs the 19" on the CR

The CR can ride any technical trail the WR can. The kickstand and larger tank would be the biggest bonus.
 
I could kick my own butt for not welding a kick stand tab on my CR frame before having it powder coated :doh:. I cheated and added the WB165, EXP, and SmartCarb to my CR125 so I can do anything with it but park without a tree or stand. Honestly I rode a friends 09 WR and I liked it too and if I just rode trails I would maybe possibly consider getting one of them WR's :D.
 
i have a WR and understand what these guys are saying... double edge...

in the wide open and MX'y stuff, i'm cursing the bike wanting more 'tune', 'snap', 'consistency' and 'spunk'... in the tight, nasty and technical, i'm all smiles and never even THINK about any of that stuff. all i do is praise my little goat for getting me through with grit and prowess.

for me, tuning the WR165 has been well worth it. still more to go but the bike is fantabulous in the woods :D

18" rear + kickstand = mo-betterer
