  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 2009 (or 2010, if the same thing) WR125 first impressions

Thanks big brother Rob. :thumbsup: Won't be doing Jaws again 'till I get some more armor and some backup. Too old and brittle fer that hero stuff no more. :p

I did try to sacrafice myself by placing my body between her and the rocky crap as much as possible, and ease her down....before I went off the side to my doom. :lol:

It's all about the Bike. :busted:

and 4 me those FIM tires are king in gnarly stuff, I run em low, 10-12 psi mstly 12 f,,and 9-11 mostly 10 psi rear. I must really be the odd man out, as it seems no one likes them, at the moment I am mounting a pair of scorpion pro FIMs on my machine now.

I get really good grip from Pirelli Scorpion Hard's on the decomp. granite and hard-pan up here. Tough tire and the fronts are DOT legal, go figure.

I've tried alll kinds of different air pressure on the Mich's..nothing. Aint working for me, little drive and no side-bite. They are loam tires so no big suprise there. This is probably the driest conditions the little WR never dreamed of seeing.

Gonna try some Motoz after these Mich's are gone.

I like them fine. I run the Pirelli Scorpion Pro front 80% of the time. I have run the rear with excellant results.

Man I rode my 09 WR125 the other day after not riding it for a while because of the TXC. WOW thats a fun little bike. With the fancy suspension and it running very good it was just so flickable and FUN**************************************** Felt hero on it.
 
Weekday ride. On the one-two-five. How sooo not fair is that?! :p

Got a Moose 2008 model bash plate on order so well see how that fits if/after mods are needed. Might do some add-on work to it too so...

Motosportz rad gaurds and chain guide soon too...

Gonna try some springs from Mr. Mad Scientist Bean too. Where I ride it's ether up or down. Mosly up, long up's, some are fast with ski jumps...I'd like my PV to open a little sooner for those sections.

I can't stop looking at this bike. Neither can other's. "Whoa, a 125? and it's a Husky!"

Love at first sight, everytime I walk in the garage. :cool:
 
Yeh, I get the same thing..."look at all that room!"

Tiny motors = wicked good handling/less fatigue.

Life IS good.
 
Greasy rocks test....

Got 2" of rain at my stompin' grounds Saturday.
Sunday I went up with the lil gun to try and see what I could get away with. I aint into mud/slop, body's busted up, we RARELY see it anyways and so usually I sit it out.

Most sections are either up or down. Little in the way of flat stuff. Lot's of slippery, pointy of rocks and orange/brown clay- bike was one color after 15 mins.

The motor continues to impress allowing me to make good time short shifting and clean stuff with the middle of the powerband slipping the clutch. Passing floundering 450's with dry tires going up and down on the two track stuff was a snap.
Getting on the pipe is rare as there's little room for same and greasy conditions but when there's room even at 6000' it still rips and rips hard. I might try Walt's PV springs, it's steep here and having the PV stay open a little longer will help the clutch last...if I can obtain that result with same. We shall see as I'm getting a set either way.

The "terrain friendly" Michelin Enduro Comp's finally found a happy place. I actually had some grip if I didn't abuse it. I motored around a few peeps sliding, swapping..... cussing face down in goo. :censored:.
I was all..."what a bitchen day eh?!?!?!?" :thumbsup: *braaaap!*

:lol:

Made it up everything I tried sans the 'wall of doom'. I muffed the approach and got kicked sideways off a rock. Totally denied at the first big step of two at the top. Slid back in the grease about 50' till I dug the grip in like an ice axe and arrested a potential 600' slide down the rutted fall line by stuffing my body between the bike and the slop- it would have been really, really bad for both of us had I not.

Must..*scrrrcch*...save..*scccrrrcch grind*...the plastic! *sccrsh, rip goes the pants, boots getting unbuckled and packed full of mud:D
Ended up taking the bypass...oh well. :p

What an amazing little machine.
I've had easilly 50 bikes over the years including other 125's.
This is by far the neatest one I've ever had.
Rock stock out of the crate sans a spark arrestor, right down to the tires with 300 km on the clock. It goes from apline conditions to full on desert blasting with a few clicks of the resgisters.

It's totally ready for anything I can throw at it.... or under it- including me. :busted:

Wow. What a bike. :cool:
 
Yep, works great in the PNW mud and slop and also in Moab rock and washes. Liked it a million times better than the 08 KTM300 I had along.

Shane and Walt loved thiers too. We had 3 09 WR125'144's there. Cool...

I liked Walts 10 year old WR360 a good bit better than the 08 KTM300 as well...

PVDuke,

You have to get rid of those Michelins. :banghead: Get a Motoz Terrapactor front and which ever Motoz matches your riding for the rear and you will love them. :thumbsup:

copt that.... i was suprised, really, how well the Eco Mich's worked in the goo...motoz are coming soon. Tractionator XC IT's should be a good all-arounder in my size for when it dries out....er maybe an IT front and Dez HT rear?....oh great, choices.

Range:
40 kilomters from the stock tank so far. Had some left but not much and I have not measured it yet- but whats the point.
I wasn't WFO the whole time as there's only a couple of spots for that. But we was motorin' just the same all over the throttle range.

you make 40 km from 9,5 liters? It's been 23 liters per 100 km!
