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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Thanks to the vntgmx for suggestions. basically I raised the needle one clip to #4 from top position and the bog is gone.

here is before and after video. Let me know if you guys have any other suggestions.

Makes sense... You are probably at lower altitude than I am, so a richer clip position is needed. Always a little tricky to tell, the difference between lean and rich in a certain area.....

Going down to South Jersey in the winter, I was one clip position off for the coldest weather, according to the jetting chart in the manual. It ran fine with an air screw adjustment, even on the coldest morning down there.

Btw, we are doing Lafferty class on Thursday in North NJ rocks. I think we have spot for one more if you interested.

Nice! Thanks for the offer. I'm pretty busy getting trail ready, for my club's AMA D4 Enduro Series event on Saturday and Sunday. Rich has a 2 day school in Western NY Saturday and Sunday and he's going stop and give me a lesson, on the way home Monday.
 
How's your 125 Norm? I am greatly enjoying mine!! bike is soooo lights, it's ridiculously easy to handle in tight stuff!

I can honestly now say that comparing to KYB SS, Husky forks suck. shock is not bad at all. While moving, power is good but tight rock crawling is not easy due to grabby clutch and not whole lot on the bottom.

my riding buddy said that something is wrong with my jetting, as he remembers his 125SX being more powerful. but it feels fine to me and bog is gone..

I wonder how much can Lectron buy on the TE125...

The one I rode felt super soft on the bottom too. Had to spin it up a good bit to get to the power. Seemed like it would be semi unforgiving in the tight and technical. No where near the bottom end power of the italian motor but more top.

A little over $400 with the cable plus shipping. Not sure it will add bottom end though. Seems to be more of a design / porting thing.
 
Mine's working well. I have ridden it in rocks, but we only have small rock gardens here and not North Jersey, PA type. I missed Ridge Run, so didn't try the rocks there. Most of the real rock riding we do are a variety of creek beds... Small rollers, big round and square stuff and flat rock with ledges. My revalved 4CS forks work fine for me. We ride a lot of roots, whoops and chopped out stuff and forks work well.

My clutch is not grabby at all, so I can work it fine in those crawling situations.

A 125SX might be more powerful, but it doesn't have anymore low end and is way more prone to stall in the slow and tight. We ride a lot of steep hills and it will go up anything, but with 13/52 gearing sometimes 2nd is still a little high and 1st is little slow. I guess I need to not be afraid, to run it right up into the over rev. I have a Lectron and I should try it, but the bike runs so smooth with the stock Keihin, I'm reluctant to try it.

I have the parts to build a 150, but am a bit reluctant to split the motor before it needs to be. I might try a head mod and a FMF Fatty pipe, instead of the HGS I have now.

Italian 125 definitely has more bottom, but the TE125 is pretty stall resistant and will come into usable power pretty quickly. To me the TE125 feels lighter and handles better than my '09 WR125 and that says a lot.....

Totally agree on all of it. Less bottom, more top, very nimble feeling. For me I'm not sure if felt like it handled better, in fact feels a little more loose and twitchy to me but for sure feels lighter and racier. Bike has a nice layout and feel to it.

To me the bike feels nimble and stable both.... You just need to think where you want to go and it's there. First time I rode it, was with the local fast guys on their GG and KTM 300's. We were riding wet, semi frozen rutted corn stubble fields, to connect the woods sections. I was pinned in 6th going across them.... diagonally, perpendicular and parallel to the ruts and in them. Only way to keep up with these guys, as they hate to wait. I thought I might die, but the little bike sucked everything up, went straight and never a tremor from the bars.... no steering damper. My Husaberg TE250 doesn't work that well, in the same situation. I've never felt like it would do anything weird. I do run the forks flush, because the 4CS fork legs are shorter, than CC or OC WP's
 
I just swapped the HGS pipe for FMF Fatty and seat of the pants says.... the low end is better. I ran the Rattlesnake National Enduro with it and the giant Kenda Equilibrium tire.... it worked well.
