  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 reading for 3 hrs. about mikuni and keihen jetting issues, and the wonders of the Lectron, I ordered one from Kelly. I know.... I'm weak.:excuseme:
All parts are ordered, and on the way, I'm like a kid waiting for my birthday.

I think that same thing applies to a lot of us here. It really is a nice bit of hardware, and I don't even have the special milled one, or the fancy pants motosportz tuned rod.

mmmmm just extrude hone there was a little write up on it in bits n pieces in dirt bike but its been 25 years or more sorry wish i was more help
 
msmith345-I didn't want to be constantly messing with jetting. Here in SE Missouri we have a saying "If you don't like the weather, just wait 1/2 hr. and it'll change" sad but true.

Look what FedEx brought today!:banana: 1st load from Hall's and OEMcycle. When you buy a new bike from Hall's they give you a 15% discount on parts for 60 days after purchase.

Now I'm just waiting for my HSP gas cap, chain, sprocket, TM Designworks stuff, 7602 Racing disc guards and bling.

Hopefully I can get started by the end of next week. I'll post up pics and a little review of how it goes together during the process.
 
Did you buy the pipe guard from Halls? If so, how much was it? I got my CR from them and have the same discount. They are great people to deal with.
I have a couple of rides on mine as a 125. I put the fmf fatty combo and Lectron carb. I had my local guy revalve the forks and they feel much better in the woods now. Stock forks were way too stiff for me.
You won't regret the Lectron, plug and play. I haven't touched anything on how Kelly set it initially. No spooge, crisp power from bottom to top. Make sure you set the power valve right. There are a few links on this forum that address this.
144 kit is going on soon.
My buddies all thought I was crazy getting a tiddler but the funny thing is they all want to ride it.
 
sweet! that's a nice prize :D love parts days like that. which fender/plate combo are you going to run?

Fender is from a RMZ450, I'm gonna try and cut the stock plate to match the contour of the fender. I'm pretty good with a dremyl.
 
cool, looking forward to seeing that. think another member has a RMZ fender on. i'm still running a YZF fender, might try something else soon.

on the dremel, yeah pretty easy to do. i shaped my '07 TC side panels like the newer bikes, came out great. i actually used tape and a super sharp utility blade then sanded with a high-grit block. edges looked factory fresh.
 
damn, this bike is gonna look sick :thumbsup:

i just ordered chain and sprockets and almost went with the Superlite steel but cancelled my order. would you mind weighing it? ended up going with a Pro-X aluminum this time, usually buy AFAM.
 
I don't have an accurate way to weight it, on my wife's digital "Weight Watchers":lol: scale it says 1.5 lbs. Pretty questionable for accuracy. I normally use SuperSprox, but I recently put a SuperLite on my '12 Speed Triple and it is wearing very little. They seem to be coated in some sort of aerospace coating that is almost impervious to wear. The owner of Sprocket Center (where I get all my chain stuff) said it only weighs 5 oz. more than a SuperSprox of the same size. Good guy to do business with. The Regina "O" ring chain I ordered was out of stock so he upgraded to a DID for no extra $$$. With 5 bikes I keep him in business.

My TM DesignWorks stuff showed up today so all I'm waiting on is the Lectron and HSP gas cap.:banana:

I need to decide on the graphics also.

I'm so excited, I get the cast off my arm next Wednesday so hopefully I'll be able to start on the "CR150xc" then.
