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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey guys...I'm getting a taad fed up with waiting on a Wossner piston to replace the one (preventative) on my 2010 CR 144. Given my cylinder and piston are pretty clean, now I'm just looking for a ring....anyone have one or recommend where I could order one???

My plan was to completely refresh the little 144 over winter but ended up buying a new TX so.....now just want to get this one back together and put some grip studs in and play a bit.

Great News....shop had a couple in stock! Pretty sure I drove the poor guy nuts with my phone calls over the past couple months but now looks like parts will be shipped and can get this back together just in time for more snow.....
 
I had to switch piston manufacturers because of issues with dealing with a company across the world and on a different monetary standard. Big company + distant, small nobody = issues. I liked their product but have been equally happy and satisfied with the Wiseco version of my piston.
 
Wally I would agree the OEM lasts a long time and the athena, vertex, and wiseco are just as nice. Wossner is the only option for some machines that is the only advantage I see with it. Some machines they are worse because you need different wrist pins and bearings that they do not mention and then you end up frustrated waiting and having to place another order.
 
Lookie lookie what arrived today! Thank you Rob of Langs off-road for managing my incessant weekly calls looking for status of the wossner piston to go with this order. Looking forward to putting theses goodies on the 144 and throwing some grip studs on to go for a few rips throughout this winter :)

Langs is about the best bet for parts. He works really hard to look after the huskies. I've found the 52 rear works best for me. Comes out of the corners harder. I doubt you will have that problem with the new 3 hunny. :)
 
im sticking with the 13x50 gearing but can certainly appreciate a 52....would make third more of a gear ;). Finally had some time to put it all back together....small adjustment to float height and voila...first kick...will be interesting to see how often I take out the 144 now with that beauty beside her ;)
