  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 New to Huskys, looking at a 125 tomorrow

The plug is a perfect chocolate brown though, I'll look into the jetting and see whats in there right now.
 
Awesome. I had a 07 Honda 450R when I picked up my new 08 Husky CR125 and hear loud and clear you on the 125 fun factor. The 450 has long been gone and the little CR is still with me as a WB165. I thought my 125 was just going to be a "play" bike but as you have found out it's way more than that. Tell your bud it's OK to like a small bore and to just get one and enjoy the ride :cheers:. Enjoy

HOOOOLLLLY COOOOW, I love this bike. Went to the track today and I was going much faster than I do on my 250. Suspension, cornering, motor, everything. I have had a honda cr 125 and a yz 125 and this is my favorite by far. I was especially impressed with the cornering, my buddy with a 2013 crf 450 even mentioned that it cornered better than his bike (that bike is amazingly fun to ride also btw). He was having tons of fun riding it and jokingly mentioned he needs to look for one to buy now.

I did have one problem though, it took about 20 kicks to start, I dont know why. I think its just the starting procedure perhaps? Seems like no choke and no throttle works on this bike, other than that it ran great for the rest of the day and started up fine. Needless to say I had a blast!

:thumbsup: we warned you

if starting is an issue your lower circuits could be way to rich (especially when no choke is needed)

have a look at you air screw setting and pilot jet size

get a lectron if you want to set it only 1 time and done with it :oldman:

have fun with the bike

From what I've read ... The plug color is relative to the last throttle setting (RPM) you were running the engine at, not the entire RPM range ....
 
Go to a smaller pilot jet. Yes these bikes are ridiculously fun. Buddy Blakes CRF450 sits collecting dust while he had to buy another 125 to replace the one he wore out. Thats how fun they are.
 
Ill try a smaller pilot and see how it responds, for sure needs some re jetting done since it likes no choke, but yeah I almost had thoughts of selling my 250 while riding the 125 all day haha, wont be selling it but I think the 125 will be getting a lot more seat time. I also think part of it is going from riding a 250 2 stroke for the past year back down to a 125 makes it even easier to ride.
