  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 with Fatty and Lectron, first ride.

I've been looking forward to this for months.

The bike took a while to fire up the night before, til I bumped started it - then it started every time - must have just taken a bit to draw the fuel through the dry carb. It was set up perfectly - thanks Kelly (and Lectron). Crisp revving, nothing needed adjusting apart from idle speed.

Out on the trail - holy cow, the bike just ran so clean and fast (course was sandy pine forest single track). Pulled smooth right off the bottom into a really strong, fat midrange and then up top - hold on! Top end was super fast but then there was a crazy streak on top of that. Over rev just launched it, front wheel up. like hitting nitrous oxide. This helped me catch up with a mate a couple of times who was getting away from me in the woods. I'd gain a big amount of ground on him fast, then run out of track, and have to get on the brakes hard. Overshot the trail a few times. Damn it's fast!

Suspension was good for the conditions, but back was deflecting off roots. I backed off the comp and rebound two clicks and this seemed a help a bit.

Now I just need to ride more and sharpen up the reflexes and get bike fit. Great to be back on a Husqvarna. :thumbsup:
 
Hi,
Sounds great! I have some similar impressions and thought best to maybe post here.

I just had a nice ride with my stock WR125 with Lectron and new Fatty pipe and WB extra inner silver powervalve spring.
With the above and stock pipe, the power was almost linear with an abrupt burst at really high revs.

I checked the Fatty for leaks at the welds, but it was nice and sealed. Moved over the stock o-ring and after rearranging the mount tabs a little I found a good fit.

Soo, the rev ceiling I'd guess is the same, but the power started way earlier and the transition to full power was almost seamless, making it much easier to use.
Now the power is usable even in tight woods. Before I could only ride it on the pipe on an mx track.

Fatty rules! Stock pipe, well.. I won't use it again unless the Fatty is stamped flat.

The local area to me is a forestry complex just north of Auckland. Sand based forestry that runs along side the sea. It's has a full time bike park at the top and every few weeks the rest gets opened up by the local club for trail ride days. The tracks are mixed - fast and flowing through to tight, gnarly whooped out tight stuff. I'll post a vid some time.
 
The bike sounds pretty good and the rider has it dialed in well in the rutty stuff. That looks real fun to ride in.

Not the best footage, and not me, but a good idea of the sandy going at Woodhill.
The sand tracks hold up well but get rooty and rutty. Need to keep your concentration up. It's always a good blast.

Cool looking track ... Not a sand guy here but I'll like to do about 25 laps on that one to help my riding skills .... is that just open trails on there you are riding on or does one claim ownership?

EDIT: Are you gripping the bike with your legs in many of those sections?
 
swear thats a fire extingusher strapped to his mud guard, love it im freaking green eyed at the moment if thats your local riding..
 
This is the way to do it! Handles like $hit but if you start one engine it runs like a 125, if you start two it like a 144, three and you have a 165, four a 200, five a 250, six a 300 ect ect ect ect ect, A bike built for the masses, low power for the less skilled and more than enough for the best there is LOL
I really must stop drinking
