  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 2012 WR125 Ignition Prices

Has anyone made a parts list or priced out the 2012 WR125 ignition? I'm thinking of replacing my '09 ignition if the price is right.
 
Stopped by Bill's and he has it boxed up for you. Bryon couldn't price it because their 2012 parts manual has the 2011 part numbers. I wonder if it would be advisable to get the wiring harness for lights since the main connector looks different.
 
Mike, I will just dummy up some connectors for the test runs. I can't wait to try it. Will inform all as I test.
 
It just has a yellow and green wire for lights,should be easy bolt on.If the yellow wire is connected to the same stator yellow as old style I think the rest will be fine.
 
I received the Ducati WR ignition from Bill and Bryon at Bill's Motorcycle Plus today. I will be doing back to back to back comparisons with this ignition, the cr, and the old wr ignition asap using both a 144 and 165 top end. Of course it is snowing and blowing at the moment and that is the forcast for the week. Please give a hearty thank you to Bill's for supporting the brand and trying to answer questions about the bikes we love at no small expense to themselves. :applause:

A couple of initial impressions of the Ducati ignition:

1) quality is definitely top notch
2) overall flywheel weight on the Ducati ignition is definitely less and closer to the axis point than the old WR ignition
3) Really like the use of a 12 pole stator producing AC power for both the ignition and the lights
4) only reservation is the inability to manually adjust the overall advance/retard timing of the ignition...they are saying "we know where the timing should be, DON'T F@#$ WITH IT"

I will post results as soon as I can get out on some dry gravel road.
 
The ignition might have a built in hunt program and that might be why you can't adjust it. If you could move it, it will always find the best advance/retard setting.

You are probably right and it eliminates guys like me that can't keep our hands to ourselves from degrading the performance of the ignition. :)

Snowing? Really?

I want a snow trac to hook up to my 360 but can't justify it for just a couple of months a year. OBTW, at this point, I hate winter. I am going south at least 3 times this winter.
 
Hey Wally! You can stay at my house in Sacramento if you get tired of the snow. I'm a former Montana resident from Kalispell. Lot's of riding here in the winter.
 
I am headed that way in mid-February with my buddy Jon who is from Kalispell. We hope to meet up with all the central Cali cafehusky crowd for some riding and pit racing/beer slogging.
 
Yeah, I hate winters anymore, but I do like to take some time off and enjoy my recliner, good stoked wood burner, couple beers, some spaghetti westerns and a nap!
