  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 3 Gallon tank for the 09 WR125...

We have had it all along. I'm 90% sure after testing fitting the IMS 3 gallon 08 tank we can make it work. Basically if drops right on with the exception of the rear to upright posts for the tank are 1 inch closer to the headstock on the 09 WR125. If you were to cut off the posts on the WR125 tank I think the 3 gallon IMS would be super close to dropping right on.

I'll do it here shortly. Will be simple to make some bolt on posts to put the stock tank back on.

Oh, this is not good for my checkbook...:naughty:

I've been telling myself that this bike will never work for me because it doesn't have enough range...


:thinking:

Come on Kelly...:notworthy:

You certainly have my attention now.
 
Kelly,

Are you suggesting to cut then reweld the rear posts? Or cut the OE posts than add a "new-to-be-released" collar with posts?

I'm curious about making this work. The lack of large tank... or I should say cost-effective large tank is what's keeping me from a 2009/2010 WR125.
 
Kelly, I hope you are onto something just to have a tank option but I have never been very fond of that design either.

Yes, you would need to remove the posts the tank sits on and then do something to reestablish them 1 inch reward. I will look further into it next week.
 
Why not just contact IMS and see if they can add two more plugs to the mold so it will fit both frames?

You ever tried to work with IMS? I think people already contacted them and got the cold shoulder. Would be great if someone local wanted to do that. It really is not far off.
 
Check out this tank, I wonder if that is the OEM oversize option!?? or better an aftermarket we are unaware of.

Looks OEM...I wish there was a bigger picture. You think Husky would have that tank already marketed and ready to go!

yes, that's oem. however, it's not an oversize option, it's the standard wr125 fuel tank model year 2010.

Hey Kelley I am with you it looks like you could just unscrew the post out of the brass insert, weld up a little tab making it the correct legnth (1" or so), tap and screw the post back onto the new tab, and use a tapered head bolt to re-attach it back to the larger tank. I have no need for a 3 gallon tank but I wouldn't mind making the conversion tabs if I had a 3 gallon tank to make a pattern tab from. All this is assuming with re-located tabs it would fit.
