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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I think I would have to put it in my living room for awhile to look at it before getting it dirty.

Looks Great. Thanks for taking the time to post the rebuild. I enjoyed watching it evolve.
 
I enjoyed this alot but want some closure....Please post pics of it after its first good ride but before a bath.....then another after its bath.
 
Thanx Guys!
Evan was speechless last night when I showed it to him.
Well, looks like we have another loyal Husky rider in the family, for life.
That made it worth all the headaches.
We can't wait to ride again, been a long winter!
We have a big ride planned in Ohio, this July with some of my old teenage racing buddies.

Thanx! Ride report: Last night I put the new preload spring on the powervalve linkage. Watching it move, I realized it's not only the spring but I need to buy the bushing/new top part of linkage. My 09 was the opposite way and I sanded the bushing a little with some 600 grit paper. I usually put a little marine grease on it so it moves nice. Guys with new bikes want to check this. When it moves it makes the linkage twist a little and am not getting a good tight lift. I set it anyways at 3/4 way up about where my 09 is. I originally had the 62 needle in the 4th clip position and seemed little rich. I can almost tell now by the way you crack the throttle and listening to the crisp sound in the exhaust, while the bike is on the stand. I came back and moved it to the middle #3 position. I took the bike back out and she flat out rips. I have a light stumble (Just putting slow in a trials mode and cracking the gas full throttle), off the bottom and think I need to move up from a 45 pilot to a 47 based on our temps. Plug color is nice and brown. Not sure, but it might even be in this loose linkage? I am very happy how this thing runs and even floated the front end in 3rd to 5th gear. Other than the light stumble, it pulls strong from bottom to top. I just can't seem to get use to the hydraulic clutch feel? The front end seems lighter than my 09 for some reason and can tell it doesn't seem to turn as quick like my WR250.

Really?

Both of my 04 125's turn rings around my WR250 which is a rather slow turning bike.

I run the forks on my 125's way up in the clamps...like 3rd line.

I will give it a try once we get rolling. Are you getting any high speed straight away shakes on the 3rd line?
 
Ride Report!

Finally, the bike is dialed in from from a pile of carbs/needles/slides/3 pipes/in house mods and etc...

The bike outperforms my 09 150%. I plan to clone my 09 after it, but am waiting on the 144 to see what difference it makes before carbon copying some things.

At first, I thought I screwed the low end up because it was a wheel standing torque monster with WR ignition. The bike now reminds me of my old modified, RMZ 250. It just flat out rips like a sling shot.

Here are my best settings:

09 125 Cylinder (In house porting/polishing)

Walt's recommendation on the powervalves.

Walt's Stock/Silver Springs, Set 3/4 up.

Stock piston

Cylinder/Cases/Gaskets Matched

.3 Base Gasket

40:1 with Octane Booster

Dyno Port pipe (You have to cut and modify it to fit).

Silencer: FMF TCII

CR Ignition

Mikuni TMXX 38 carb with front carb divider only (I epoxied a rear divider in to test and did not make a difference, so I didn't install one).

Needle: 6CHY16-62

Position #4

Slide 5.0

Main 470

Pilot 40

Gearing 13/52

Thanx!
