    WR = 2st Enduro & CR = 2st Cross

  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 125 144 165 dyno comparison??

got my heart set on a 2012 cr125. would really like to see a hp and torque comparison. really curious on how the 144 and 165 compare to the ktm 150 as that bike is my next choice. thanks guys!!!
 
Remember, you're looking at the dynos of the woods versions not the MX'rs.
Very little difference on HP. The MX will have a internal mag ignition to spin up faster and the Offroad bikes will have a larger flywheel so the bike will lug lower and maintain traction better. Same top ends. The difference is the dyno used. BUT it still is a comparison between the brands on the same dyno.
 
The service manual represents the CR as a competition (full power) engine, while the WR is stated to be (limited power) in need of transformation.
Does this indicate the difference in the coils only?
 
What Vinduro said. As far as the motor is concerned, they are identical except for the ignition. I know this well since I put the CR ignition on my WR. The WR even shares the same CR transmission since 2003! That's why I installed the 2002 WR gears in mine. :D I think the service manual may be referrring to the WRE street version sold outside the US.
 
Then why do the CR and WR have different part numbers for the cylinder and the pipe? I'd conclude there are more differences than the ignition, or they wouldn't carry different part#'s.
 
Having done a ton of work with both cylinders, I think the only real difference between the two is the power valves are different between the two. Strictly a difference in bottom elevation and a slightly different bottom shape. Port timing is virtually the same. When I am done with them they are identical.

Having a WR 2002 I can only say that the gearing does work for me (as the obvious $$$ is the reason for making it all the same (CR and WR)) what is the real difference between the 2002 and later models?, as it becomes now clear to me why I am sometimes supriced by the sprocket gearing that some of you running and I would not do that with my bike (I am aware hat there are more then one parameter is playing in the decision of sprocket gearing)
