• 2 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     WR = 2st Enduro & CR = 2st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Graffunder and Redmond playing on 125s!

Why is it so many of you guys complain about jetting.I have never changed my jetting in my 2006 cr 125
and my 2008 Cr 125 which is now a 165 and still no jet change.You have heard it run in my videos
and MR Walt himself rode it in Idaho and said it ran ok
Cory told me the bike was stock except for the pipe and spark arrestor. He also said it ran great Why is that so hard to beleive

Those that own WR's find it hard to believe the CR's run so clean out of the box. :D :D :D
 
I don't find it hard to believe they can make an CRF100 look great and your jetting doesn't count.....you stay WFO :D......jk.
 
I believe the older bikes ran the TMX and not the TMXX carb so that may account for the difference. The CR and WR motors are exactly the same except for the ignitions. The port timing and even the transmission ratios are identical. The WR is more sensitive to jetting because of the heavy flywheel and the fact that the TMXX carb has a very lean jet needle. However, the actual jetting requirements are identical. I have a 2012 WR144 and my carb has a richer Suzuki needle and the RB Designs divider plate. It rips everywhere. After my WR CDI pooped out I bought the CR ignition so I've ridden it both ways. I also suspect that the people raving about the SmartCarb are doing so because their jetting has improved.
 
Yep my jetting did improve because of the SmartCarb :D. I had my 08 CR165 running really good with the TMX but I had to keep up with it and that was a pain for me this time of year in VA. With the SC I don't have to worry about adjustments and I NEVER had it running this good. Enough of that and back to the two pros on the CR125's. I know they could have done the same on WR's but do feel the 08 CR's had way less tuning to do than the 09 WR's.

I would pay to watch that, get a handful of super offroaders on small bore thumpers. Maybe something like TKO or an EX course.

I was just poking the bear on the CR vs WR stuff, I have only experienced the greatness of the small bore in CR trim so I am a little biased.
 
I'd pay too. We had Brad Baken come out to our CVTR club to do a little coaching and that was a real treat. The guys like that look like they just float over stuff. Oh and everybody knows the CR's are better......as I duck for cover.
 
Yeah, getting passed by those guys is crazy. I can't fathom going that fast in the woods, well on purpose anyway.

I was told they were STOCK CR 125s Now all we need to do is get those guys to show up at a few events with the little Husky and really show what they can do.

Hmmm. CR's and not WR's. Let me put my surprised face on! Wait a second.... :eek:..... there. Surprised face.

the 04-08 (really clear back to 2000), CR125 run great as is. The 09 and up, when the cylinder changed, seems to need some jetting. Plus you are running open areas where is it much EZer to jet or get away with just OK, jetting. Ride tight technical stuff and you need crisper jetting in the hard to get right low end.
