  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 144 kit install help!

Hey y'all, going to install my 144 kit tonight, but I had a few questions first.

First, is their an online service manual anywhere? I do not know the torque specs for the head bolts or anything.

Anything special I need to know?

Is their a "how to" write up on this forum anywhere? I tried looking and I had no luck.

Bike is a 2013 cr125.

Thanks!
 
It's all intuitive - pay attention to how you tear it down and you'll be fine. Watch a youtube video to get the general idea if you've never done it before.

Pay particular attention to the power valve linkage. There's a bolt in a slot that, when moved, changes when the power valve opens. There's a writeup about it somewhere in this forum - some people move the bolt in the slot to get a little more top end or bottom end.

I probably shouldn't do this, but I don't torque nuts to a specific spec. I haven't had an issue with the 'it feels tight' approach.
 
I put my kit on the other day, it's easy with a 2 stroke, and even easier on the Husky. Just pay attention to the power valve like the guy mentioned above, and make sure you don't bend the clips and you will be fine, only takes a hour or so to get it all done.
 
Send those 144 cylinders and head to Josh at MAXPOWERRPMS and get the port timing corrected, and a 2 ring ultralite piston and you will be soooooooo much happier**************************************** Promise! He can set the compression up for your riding style and fuel.
 
MaxPowerRPM in Wisconsin, that's where I sent my 144 kit before install. Josh can do from mild to wild depending on your type of riding. Very nice work and fast turn around.
