  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 '13 CR125 fouling plugs and running sick ?

Hey everyone, so i love my cr125, it's a beast, it hauls and is great in single track. Anyway, yesterday i accidentally used the wrong oil (Fuchs, instead of Motorex Cross power fully synthetic 2t) to mix the petrol, at 33/1 like i usually do.

Anyway, i've never ever fouled a plug on this bike even when slow riding but yesterday i fouled my NGK Iridium plug, so i went to the bike shop and then replaced that with a cheapy's plug. About 5 minutes before i went home my bike just stopped.

This morning, i then started it to ride around my block before washing it, and then as soon as i got it on the pipe it stopped. I then washed it, and then started it, it started first kick, i let it just idle, then after a few minutes revved it, then let it iddle and it stopped like it did when i was riding the day before.

Is it possible that because i used the wrong oil that it could be the cause of fouling plugs? Maybe im using wrong fuel mixture, but i've always used 33/1 and never fouled with the other oil? What else could it be?...

Also, it has been blowing more smoke than usual so i don't know whether it's the different oil or something else.

Different oils have different burn characteristics, so it is possible that the change to Fuchs oil is causing these issues.

Try draining your fuel tank and re-filling with the Motorex Cross Power mixture. Stick a fresh plug in the motor and see how it goes.
