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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

We have a 2008 CR 125 that my daughter races and it has a problem with breaking the upper engine monts from the head to the upper frame rail. Is there a perminant fix for this issue?
 
I have never had that problem on my 2008 cr 125 did she crash or ride really hard. Have you had motor or head off and not had it aligned proper or overtightened bolts.
 
Make sure your bottom motor mounts/frame mounts aren't rounded out. Also make sure your bolts are all torqued/ tightened and thread lock used. Another area to check, make sure your swing arm bolt is torqued correct and that your swing arm bearings/bushings are good. If they go bad, etc... the engine can dance around a little. I got one now that the brackets are cracked and it is from swing arm bearings being shot.
 
I just picked up a 08 CR 125 and was hoping this wasn't still an issue. In 2002 I raced a CR 125 and 250 and broke these mounts ALL the time. My dad has a welding shop and we were constantly rewelding and adding gussets to the stock alum mounts and by the end of the year I would be lucky to make it through 2 motos without one cracking again.
I stayed on top of keeping everything tight, torqued, and replacing any worn bearings.

I finally made a new set for both bikes out of stainless steel and didn't have any more trouble.
 
She's not very heavy, but shes not afaid of the big jumps. It would be nice to have some mounts that hold up to a 125 lb. rider. I guess we'll be making them out of steel. Thanks for the replies.
