  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 lectron or not...

got the lectron in and installed. went 3/4 turn out with the idle screw and she idles great, all day long. now that the lectron is installed the power band comes in way late. i want it to come in much sooner. can i achieve this by turning out the fuel metering rod? or??
 
The only way I can get a lectron to do that is to have it to lean as it seems to make the mid a bit vauge, was the pipe sounding a little more ring dingy as this would indicate you may be a bit lean
My friends 125 fitted with a lectron gains power every where and even makes more top than the 39mm pwk it replaced.
 
I ended up turning the metering rod out 1/2 turn becuase of pinging. You could try playing with the powervalve to make it open a bit sooner.
 
I'm sure a WB165 kit would help! :lol:. I would try turning the rod 1/2 turn richer and try it,if it is the same or worse, I would try turning the rod 1/2 turn leaner from where you started from. Richening the power jet may help as well,it has an effect from approx. half throttle to wide open and is controlled more by throttle position not engine rpm.:cheers:
 
Can anyone point me in the right direction for mikuni jetting at 400ft. Got massive bog, struggles getting on pipe.
Its a new 2013 wr 125. im waiting on my lectron, pipe and 165 kit, but it may not get here b4 the first enduro. Hoping i can get the mikuni a bit better to race with (hope i dont have to). Ive moved the PV down in the slot as mentioned but that didnt help a great deal.
Thanks in advance for any help.

nice name! looks DBW pantherish. ask AUSKY(dubdub on DBW) he just got 1, might be able to point you in right direction?
 
The biggest thing is the Suzuki jet needle. The stock one is way lean and starves the motor for fuel in the mid range. Needle 6CHY16-62 is Suzuki #13383-36FQ0.

Gotta love the Cafe Husky, Bam! problem solved and faster than Macgyver could have done it.
 
BP 95ron
motul 800 @ 40:1
pilot 35 or 37.5
6CHY16-62 needle middle clip
Slide 5
main 460 - 470

This will go someway at getting rid of the bog. Adding Walts silver inner PV spring along with the stock spring will help even more.

Husqvarna Australia's jetting for the 125/150's is too lean. When asking them about the RM needle they said the stock needle is better. Wrong! The stock needle gives you a massive lean spike in the mid range, hence the bog.
 
One of the pulls for buying my first husky was this forum. Love your enthusiasm and knowledge. Thanks for replys, I got some testing to do!

When you say you moved power valve down in the slot please clarify. If the bolt is at the bottom of the slot this will give more power valve opening but not full closure . If you want to ensure less bog the bolt should be at top of slot
But in my case this reduces top end

The wr ignition and the 125 cc is also a factor
If it was a 144 it changes things also - loses the bog mostly
I'd have said do a the cr ignition but as that fixes bog or changes the way power comes on
Comes on much quicker
Since you are going to a 165 you probably don't need the cr ignition and wr may be a nicer ride
