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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

About a month ago, I was in a supermoto track and I tried a 2006 125 sms of a friend of mine (he had just switched to a 450 Yamaha). He claimed 24 hp. I tried it for some laps and it was really slow, compared to my EFI 610. I never tried a Husky CR, but I noticed that racing 125s like TMs or Honda CRs or KTMs accelerate almost as much as my bike. Therefore, considering that a 125 Husky CR should be as powerful as those bikes, I think that 25 bhp vs 30-40 is a realistic estimate. Maybe not 40, but definitely more than 30.

You will see more power for sure, but these race engines are not designed for street use. They are mainly top end figured, won't run long distances, and need more frequent maintenance. Now it is your money, and your choice
 
cheers guys yeah the engine is pretty much brand new all seals, bearings, piston, honed barrel the lot. and i just want it for weekend fun be lucky if i do 100 miles a week on it, allso good for spares aswell coming with v force reeds and tmx carb allso, currently running the 28 dellorto with tps sensor.
 
just looking into advancing the timing on my stator, as i think they come very retarded, and the cr stator is diffrent connections, so going to drill my stator and see if i can move it to advance it.
 
get the CR engine but swap the gears from your SMS engine it makes a more pleasant ride and you will have still a lot of power available

its probably more ride able on the tarmac then the CR tranny
a CR stock should make about a 35 Hp
