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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

After some consideration, (money) we are looking at staying with the Italogermanic Husky's for a couple more years. (yeah, I know, it's not a real word)
The question is what to expect to run into, switching from a 144 to a 250 two stroke, besides the obvious 5 speed tranny.
What mods are must do's for a 170lb young "A" rider?

We will eventually embrace the new Austrian Husky's but for a young college student, they are too expensive, assuming they are priced like a Berg.
Any advise will help, as we intend to pick up our next years race bike asap, before they are all gone.
PS. He really went fast on my 08 CR167 at the last two races and won his class at both.
Another 125 is also an option we are looking at.
Thanks in advance guys, you are always helpfull.
 
My vote is to stay with the better handling chassis- the x-lite. You need a 2014 cr144 with a 165 kit.
 
Five speed trans might be better for him in a race situation. I dont know much about the smaller motor but the 250/300 has a fantastic hit on the top. That being said I would add a steering stabilizer and a lectron carb for quick changes during condition variance
 
If he is winning on a 167 then my vote goes to a nice WB165 also, To my mind a far easier better handling bullet proof bike than the 250 but this is my view and Im totally biased just because no matter what I ride I still always prefer the tiddler 165 :thumbsup:

PS may change my opinion tomorrow as I out am testing some shercos.
