• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

2010 TC250 -v- 09 KTM250 2st

I wonder how much the 218 compression, Walts grind on my power valves, and the fact that it's a CR has to do with how well my 144 runs. I mean I liked my 125 but my 144 has so much more low-mid it makes riding the bike real easy and real fun. Cool video Jake thanks for the post up.

Yeah, mine is a CR and Shane and Ben both have CR144's, Ben's has Walts power valves also. He also has a Walt built 144 kit with the domed piston waiting to go in. I think the boost in low/mid is why I don't like the 144, it losses a bit of the frantic 125 feel I love so much.

I know I am probably alone in this.

Later,
 
LOL Jake I'm old now (52) and don't want "frantic" I like smooth and predictible. Now if I was young and fast....... I do LOVE to see a 125 running wide open passing big bore bikes on a MX track!
 
Jake is 10 years younger than me and a GREAT rider. His 125 works perfect for him. No need for a 144. Jake is an anomaly. :D
 
Jake can make any bike work, so the point and zap of the 125 is more exciting. The rest of us seek a tamer side of the equation.
 
LOL I seek tammer and still broke myself up pretty good last year:rolleyes:. So go get em Jake for us old, slow, fat guys! When I first got my CR125 I let a friend of mne race another friend on his KX 450 at the MX track in Lake Gaston MX Park NC. We laughed our butts off as the mighty 125 put a big whooping on the big 450!
 
So.... Buddy of mine bought a used (1 ride) 2012 KTM350. Rode it yesterday. At first i hated it, felt big heavy, slow and handled like CRAP. (I was on my TC250) New owner was all over the trail on it. I said to him "let me fix the forks" so I tweaked them. He said "WOW way better". Then i said let me adjust the shock, again WAY better. Then he kept telling me it felt faster. Then at the end of the day I rode it again and the suspension ruled, the motor barked, and the bike feels great. Weird. Nice bike for sure. EFI is spotless, suspension is VERY good and the motor is good.
