  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 06 Wr125 Redo - Done

Thanx guys! Hopefully will get her buttoned up soon.

?????? Not sure if I like the WR125 Decals I made for the swingarm???? I kinda might like the plain swingarm look?

I also just cut the red rubber tubing to lay over the rear brake line, not fond of it either??????

Thanx!

Darin
 
Yeah, sometimes I think plain is better. I don't like them too over done. You know, like some of the freestyle bikes.

I finally got the engine assembled and in the frame. Well, I did a bad move and had to take the crank seal back out on the ignition side. While tapping it in. I thought that there would be a lip in the cases that the seal would seat in. There is not and I tapped it in too far. I popped the seal back out and now I don't trust the seal to do it's job. I am better safe than sorry, so I ordered a new one. I also had a bee of a time getting the kick starter spring to cooperate with getting the clutch case on. It took alot of time, but I didn't make it all this way to force it on and break something. Plus, the graphics aren't here as well. CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR!

I put a new wiper seal on the hydraulic clutch arm and also got the hydraulic clutch mounted. I got the carb fitted up with the 5.0 slide and RM needle. I also installed new hoses and put on hose clamps. I took my top vent hoses up to a tee to run them in the air box. My case saver was all rusty so i made a new one out of aluminum and polished it.

I also modified a set of 09 WR 125 frame guards to work on this 06, just like I did on my 08 WR250.

I slit (4ways) the ends of my lower carb vent hoses so they won't pack with mud.

This is how I run my top carb vent hoses in the air box. I use a fuel filter to filter dirt for my carb vent hoses. When I clean my air filter, I pop the hose off and hold it up to my fuel petcock, then rinse it out with gas, to clean it. Then I blow it out with air and re install it.

I mounted up a set of OFG radiator braces. With a little trimming, I installed a new set of radiator fins.

I had to use the stock pipe since there is a fitment issue with the Dyno Port pipe. I went ahead and painted up the stock pipe and mounted it. I will re-visit the Dyno Port at a later date.

I also painted the water pump housing and power valve governor cover black.

I bought all new bolts for this engine and most of the frame. I wanted the bolts to look as good as the rest of the work.

Where do the modified frame guards come from? - I need some for my average looking bike
 
Thanx for the compliments guys! The frame guards are 09 WR125 stock. I trim them, drill two holes and use a black zip tie on the bottoms. The tops were zip tied on anyways. Around the rear brake master cylinder, I use a zip tie on the backside. I believe they run about $19 for a set.

I don't think the pictures really show it off compared to standing next to it.

WOW!... Looks Great...

I can't remember the last time I had a towel under my bike on the stand...
Wait a minute...never! Just bustin...Your work speaks for itself, and your probably right
pictures don't do it justice.

Tech side - do all these vent hoses hook up to internal cavities that vent the whole carb or does each hose do a specific area? Should all hoses be tee'd up and also run down?

If there are common internal cavities, than I would think your top-two-up is the hot setup.

Haven't done anything with the hoses yet...

Thanx Paktm! When you gonna change your name to PAHUSKY? I am not an expert on this since I learned this from other CH members and hope I am doing it the correct way? My thinking is, that there are two on boths sides of the carb. One is to work as a drain if you fall over (Which I do alot) and the other is to vent. That is why I take the top two up into the air box.
