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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

4 stroke 2 stroke frames

I was wondering if the 09 frames are the same for a 2 stroke and 4 stroke? Was thinking of removing the 310 motor and putting a two stroke motor in place. This way it's street legal.
 
I can't answer the question about frame compatibility (though it would surprise me if they are directly compatible), but isn't emissions a part of the street legality determination?

Regardless, there's an article in the April issue of Dirt Bike about a Service Honda conversion with a CRF250X and a Honda 2001 250 two stroke engine.
 
They are not the same I can assure you. I do not know if anyone has ever tried welding or making brackets to do so. I am sure if it could be done Italy would have done it a long time ago.
 
if you have a friend in NH they can title a 2 stroke for you easy. some states are very easy to title a non title bike(my xr 100 has a plate)
 
I would think it would not be real hard as the 310 motor is a lot bigger than the WR250/300. Fabrication will be necessary. Then you are going to have to deal with the chain being on the wrong side. That might be harder than getting the motor in there as chain clearance is all setup for the other side.

I didn't know about the chain on the wrong side. I would have to go to a 2010 model. I want a WR 125 but I'm not sure I can get it legal in NJ. The NJ state police are at the enduros and now require matching paperwork.(No more Honda Goldwing dirt bikes if you know what I mean). Working headlight and tailight and I heard that this weekend's Enduro may require a working brake light.
 
The other endearing aspect of any 125 is the light weight. Now, our scale didn't classify the WR as a featherweight by any means since this is the same chassis that is used on its four-stroke brothers, so it is a bit beefier than it most likely needs to be. But when you are on the bike and putting it through its paces, there are few bikes out there that feel this light. Even orange ones with less of an effect on the scale. The bike has a slightly tall feel to it and is roomy enough for any sized rider. The springs seem to err on the stiff side of the scale for a 125, but faster riders will appreciate this. And the whole bike has a tough feeling built into it, with just enough Italian craftsmanship to make it sexy.


I found this in a dirt rider test

I race in Jersey also and I've seen a couple guys with new WR's that are licensed. You can still do it but I think you might not want to wait too long . Along with all of the street legalities that they are now enforcing at the enduros, the next thing to go will be the 2-strokes that are not grand fathered in.
 
I plated my WR300 :D
I payed tax at time of purchase, save paperwork.
Called Gieco and got insurance on the spot, they e-mailed me proof of insurance. (in about 15 mins or less :lol:)
Have all of your paperwork, and give it a shot.
If that fails the NH route is a good option.

You may want to go in to your dealer and take a look at the title.
See if there is any indication on there whether or not you can title it.

Only if you get pulled over :eek:
I thought about borrowing some blinkers and a horn and brake light switches and a battery and...
I'll just take my chances :devil:
 
Wow riding it on the street, you're really bold. I was only referring to what is required to run ECEA events. There was a rumor that they were going to require inspection stickers at the enduros in NJ but I hope not.
 
they probably will in a year or so the way they seem to be going,when we register vehicles in mass you have seven days to inspect them or the registry sends you out a letter letting you know your registration will be revoked. they keep threatening to connect the bike inspection shops as well,so far they havent,but they will eventually and then we will all need stickers as well unless you have a grandfathered bike that you have registered
 
Call AJ at Service Honda. I doubt he's had one yet, but I'm betting he'd do it for you, and it will be top notch.
