Rode One around the parking lot Yesterday at my Local Husky Dealer. Lord help Me I loved it... Now for the questions....
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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Kevin_TE250;29483 said:So it looks like the 07 WR 125 or 07/08 CR 125 is a pretty good option... so you think they would get at least 50- 60 miles out of a tank?
Norm... would the 07 WR 125 come with a Spark arrester ?
on a related note my dealer (MotoTech in Boise) has a 06 CR 125 for 2995 with 1 hour on it... would a spark arrester be hard to find for that....
I told my wife I went into this wanting to ride the WR300 just to see what it was all about... I have no experience with 2 strokes and I'm shocked that I enjoyed that 125.....

Just curious...
ajaxauto;29512 said:It is funny to see all the post of the new WR guys changing things to make there WR run like a Cr
Our '09 CR still has a bit of the mid flat spot. I'm anxious to see what changes you try and the results. So far, I've raised the needle a clip and it helped. I'm trying to find different needles for these new vintage TMX's but seem to be chasing my tail.Motosportz;29632 said:Rode my 09 WR125 today and am happy to report it will leave me very good running 04 CR125 with doma pipe for dead, top to bottom. I need to jet a slight flat spot in the mid though. Bottom is stronger but marginal as this IS a 125 but the top RIPS. I have ridden a 07 WR125 and was afraid i might be giving up the nice top end rush over my CR but this 09 WR125 has more hit on top and pulls longer.
