  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 6, 8 or 10 oz FWW for CR165????

Got my second ride on the 165 yesterday and I'm still floored at how powerful it is. And I'm not talking how powerful it is for a small bore...its a powerful motor, period!

Anyways, I think I want to add a FWW to my cr165 and noticed Steahly has a 6,8,10 &12oz. I think the 12 will be overkill for this motor, so I'm debating between the other 3.

I put a 9oz on my yz250 years ago and couldn't even tell it was there, but that bike has much more crank mass. Anyone have any experience or an opinion on weighting a small bore crank? I dont want to drastically alter the power delivery, but I could use some help with stalling and not blowing out the tire in the corners and on hillclimbs. I'm leaning towards the 8oz.

Any input is appreciated!
 
I would lean twords the 8 too. I know they aren't for everybody but I installed a Rukluse EXP on my 165 and I love how easy it is to ride in the woods. I can chugg this thing up muddy/slippery hills a gear or two high and don't have to worry about stalling or spinning. I know it's cheating but I'm OLD :oldman:.
 
I don't know how heavy it is but I run the stock WR ignition and flywheel. I don't want a lighter one.
 
After riding your rocket of a high comp beast I would say 10-12 or you will not even feel it.

- Where did you ride? I rode DM with Adam and ran into Travis. Still lots of snow so we just rode the bottom of everything.
 
12 ounce...

You can always have RB toss it in a lathe and turn it down.

I put a 12 ounce on my wifes kx100, they recommended against it at the time but it works great for her and that bike still rips.

Later,
 
With a rough bath rm scale measurement the wr flywheel is .4kg heavier which is roughly 1 lb in the old scale .
Would retarding the ignition be an option?
 
I dont want to do that though. At least not yet.
I want to ride this thing as-is on the track once the weather warms up in its current state, but I wouldn't mind making it a little more woods friendly in the meantime. I think I'll go with the 12oz and reduce weight if needed (good point Jake!) and then just remove it for mx & dez riding.

I rode with mxmike at Jordans yesterday. That's where I thought you guys would be too, but no dice.
Its supposed to warm up this week and hopefully get back to snow melting weather cause trying to ride below 500' is hard.

Have you thought at all about a G2 throttle? They make a bunch of different cams, but the kit has three to pick from. Maybe using the 300X-slippery conditions cam would tame your beast for trails and go to the 100X cam for nice traction MX style? Just a thought...
 
he said he and MXMike grabbed two big sticks, and pushed....

They did their part. I feel Adam did enough trail clearing for all of us that day.. :lol:
 
Back to the topic of fww or some way to tame for trailee riding. Brandon, find yourself an 08 or later KTM 200 xcw cdi and wiring harness. All the plugs fit the stock husky CR ignition and get the ktm remote toggle switch. In the lo setting it is perfect for tight gnarly stuff with no hit and mellow. Bolt that and a 38mm lectron and you are ready for any riding with only a flip of the switch without having to mess with fww or reducing your compression.
