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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc I need my CR 125 quieter

A repack helps marginally, but not enough. And don't worry too much about me passing you, Rich. I had her singing at Pine Barons, but that enduro was practically designed for my 125!

I Rode PBER with a flat front so you might have!
 
I got a question...

I also have the TC2 on the WR125...with the FMF pipe.

The first time I went to repack I took it apart, threw out the packing and almost put the whole thing in the gunk tank to wash.

What's up with the packing around the turbine?

I called FMF and it came across as a permanent setup...how can that be?:excuseme:

I haven't done it yet but I'm going to drill some rivets and see what's in there.

If anyone has got this wet or it is soaked with whatever wouldn't that kill any sound deadening qualities at a pretty key location?

Anybody mess with this yet?
 
3 of our 125/144s have FMF TC-IIs on them. They do not sound or measure loud. At least not aginst the 250Fs my son races/rides with. They are not much louder than our XR400 (sound meter wise).

The stock WR silencer on pre-'09 bikes is big but very quiet.
 
ive had a tcII apart at both ends,dont bother pulling off the spark arrestor end cap .nothing in there but a solid metal spiral(turbine),the end cap is all metal,no packing,you can see some packing when you normally remove it to repack,but its only a 1/2 or so of packing around the end of the turbine
 
fury1, Thanks...Did you leave the 1/2'' of packing in?
The rivets actually vibrated loose after the last race; need to rebuild anyway.

I don't think it's stainless, mine's definitely yellow...

Norm, how does the bike run with the snorkel? And is it real quiet?

Thanks, :cheers:

I guess these guys are really out of business. I checked out their site, finished. Too bad, I'm trying to really snuff my bike for the little local patch I creep around in, don't need any attention from anyone.

Has anybody built a snuffer like the snorkel from rad hoses or similar? I'm going to start looking for an alternative to use on the silencer. In the woods I'm never at high RPMs anyway, just lugging around.

My ears are still ringing from the Sandy Lane Enduro yesterday. The little tiddler did great, but it's just too loud. I'm running the stock pipe with an FMF TC2 silencer. Even with fresh packing, it's too loud. I repacked the silencer three rides ago, and I couldn't actually tell any difference with the fresh packing. I need a spark arrestor for ECEA enduros, but the TC2 is the only option I can buy for the 2008 CR125.

Which brings me to this option--making either an FMF Q or Q Stealth fit with a little cutting and welding. Specifically, I would cut the midpipe off my TC2 and weld it onto whichever Q silencer I get. And I'll move the mounting tabs accordingly, too.

The smallest engine application FMF makes the Q Stealth for is the KTM 200--no 125s. The do make the regular Q silencers for KTM 125s. Will the silencer inner diameter be too big if I go with a Q stealth? Should I go with a regular Q that's made for a 125?

i bought a Q for dorkboy 3s 98 RM80 look alittle harder ill hunt down p/n if you em
 
I ran a db snorkel on my WR125. It was quiet, but I kept breaking the aluminum brackets with the swingarm on big landings, so I sold it.

I saw pictures of woods racers in the 90s making their own using a csection of innertube.
 
I would only use it in tight woods locally, no big hits in there. I'll be exploring the inner tube method, thanks!

Thank you for pointing that out, because you did, others will know they may not receive an answer from some who participated in the thread late 2010.
 
Please discuss the for sale stuff privately. I am *still* getting contacted about things that were for sale like this circa 2009 (people actually think by clicking on the Contact Us link, they will somehow manage to contact the person selling items in old threads)
