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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey, There's this guy selling me his 2002 wr 250 wich looks good but i have no idea about reliabity of these bikes, and being a 12 year old bike, it makes me doubt about buying it. Does it worth it?

Here are some pics of the bike

Most of the bike (motor, basic chassis geometry) is unchanged from well before 2002 until now. Those forks (Marz Shiver) work well in the woods.

I'd look for the usual used bike stuff (oil leaks, wheel bearings, swingarm/linkage, chain & sprockets, engine noises, etc), but I wouldn't hesitate to buy a 2002 if condition is good and the price is appropriate.
 
I love my 02. Mine has the last of the true "WR" transmissions and is fantastic with the Lectron carb.

how can you tell they are marz?
 
If there is any motor rebuild history that would good and if the rest is on good order do not hesitate buy it now:)
 
I have recently purchased a 2002 WR360 which is in good condition, the engine had a major overhaul in 2008 but little since so i intend to have it inspected soon, as a blown engine on these would not be good as spares are hard to find.
