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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Ain't she a beauty...my "new" 2002 CR250

Loving all this 00-02 cr250 talk!

Ive ridden the cr a few times now and its engine has to be the most linear 250 ive ever ridden. It is smooth, smooth, smooth from bottom to top. I have no doubt this will make an excellent moto machine. Instead of braking the tire loose, sliding sideways, ripping up in a wheelie out of turns, i suspect it will be dug in and hooked up and work with me instead of tiring me out.

Its not the most exciting powerplant ,but anyone short of top a riders will be faster on it thanan eengine making 8 more horsepower up top with a more aggressive harder to ride delivery.


Are the front brakes identical to my 2004 cr125 as on the 01 cr250? I bled them repeatedly but couldn't get the same level of inital firmness out of them. The 125 is insta firm and i love its brakes.

I am having a hard time getting the front brake to feel as solid as the old 2001 CR125 we had, nowhere near as firm as the 07. I don't know if it a characteristic of the 02 year.

I have a 3.4 ims tank for sale if your interested pm me. It would probably work for your tc too.

Is the IMS tank for a CR or TC? I took the TC tank off and tried to fit it on the CR but was off a bit and wouldn't work.
 
It came off a 2009 WR 250. I noticed you upgraded to newer plastic. It should fit with a little modification.

Have you put new pads on like ebc green stuff, the shape of disc will also geve feedback characteristics
Also the master may need overhauling if there is still spongey feel.
