  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Just Bought 2012 WR125

I called to check on mine Monday. No definite word yet from Husky NA which is thoroughly PISSING ME OFF! Why can't Husky get the simple things right? WTF?

Huskies I've owned or presently own:

  • 08 TE 250
  • 09 WR 300
  • 09 CR 125
  • 09 TXC 250
  • 10 TXC 250
  • 10 TC 250
  • 11 TE 449
  • 11 CR 150
  • 12 CR 125

Future Huskies I might own....

NONE! Unless the get their damn shit together.

Oh, yeah, BTW, Happy Thanksgiving dammit. :mad:
 
Dude you would have never made it on a Husky in the 80s and 90s...had too wait months on parts....for non running bikes..
 
My guess is it is a sub-contractor problem. The kits would be in the crate if they were available. Husky should at least keep you informed on what is up. No news in this case is bad news.
 
I am very encouraged after my discussions with a local aluminum expert on making the newer 125 cylinder borable to 165. Should know a lot more come Monday.

I'm ready to give it a try. I've been riding 125s a long time. This is an ISDE in southern Oregon in 1986 where I scored a class win on my 125 Husky. Must have been the Terry Cunningham replica outfit! :D

Not to piss anyone off...BUT...When i was a Husky/Husaberg/KTM dealer....We setup every single bike that left that shop...

Most KTMs where easy, some extra grease here and there and replace this and that....and rejet almost all of them
Bergs about the same thing....
Huskys...some ran perfect and some didnt...a good and responsible dealer shouldnt let a bike leave their shop, in a crate or in a truck, without being setup properly...

And its not just a Husky thing...every brand from Euro to Jap has this problem....

Personally, I prefer buying my bikes in the crate & unhatch them when I'm ready. When I pull them out, they go thru my own special setup recipe which takes about ~20-30 hours or so, depending how much stuff needs to be added. I haven't had any operational issues on any of my bikes so far, but if I did, given what's available on sites like this I wouldn't likely get too stressed about it as I know I'll get the issue sorted soon enough.
 
Make sure that that stock starvation 74 needle gets given to a junkie (bout all its good for) get the 60 in there!

Are you getting a 6CHY-16-62?
I'd be interested in how it works in the 12

Make sure you pair it up with the 5.0 slide (More fuel = more air :thumbsup: More fuel = no air :thumbsdown:). I would also recommend getting Walt's spring kit and use Stock/ silver spring combo, to delay the powervalve some, helps get rid of that mid flat spot and have a nice transition.

Send your carb out to RB and get the front divider/low circuit mods. (Trust me, you need this).

I just got done building (2) new modded TMXX's and I have alot of hours in both carbs. The 250 is close to being done and feels like a gas gas on steroids. I am itching to ride the one on the 144 but my suspension is apart. The 144 now has a cool exhaust rasp and feels like it revs up quicker.

If I keep getting great results, I might start doing carbs this spring or may do a tutorial mod thread or tutorial/carb kit you can get.

Thanx

Darin
 
Dan is checking on a 5.0 slide for me. I have a brand new 4.0 to trade! I do have the Powernow divider plate on the intake. I wonder if it makes much difference if the plate is on the inlet or outlet of the carburetor? Seems it would have a similar effect. Thanks for your help.
 
RB can cut yours real reasonable. Divider has to be on front,engine side only. I cut a rear one in a TMXX and it lost top end.
