  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Battery/ECU Issues

I bought a 2011 WR125 that has been abused in a previous life, all the road wiring has been removed but not well.

We have fixed all the issues but are struggling with one issue.

With a flat battery the bike starts and runs before cutting out after 2 minutes, with a fully charged battery the bike will not spark at all so it seems the ECU does not like any charge coming from the battery.

The question I have is on some Japanese bikes when the ignition key is turned it steps down the voltage to the ECU/CDI allowing the bike to start, my bike has all the ignition stuff removed....does anyone knows if the WR 125 has a similar system?

Alternatively any ideas what might be up?

Thanks
Chris
 
Just a theoretical question, with all the road electrics removed is the battery needed.....could the bike be made to work without it, is there anything that would need removing (regulator etc)

a WR 125 does not have a battery...
my 2013 wr came with all the wiring for road registration but not with an ignition key...
 
Hmmm.....well its definitely a WR according to the chassis number and has a battery recessed into the oil tank.

Luckily last night we found a faulty resistor in the ignition circuit......hoping this has resolved the issue (well fingers crossed anyway)

If you have an oil tank and a battery this bike is not a WR! It should be a WRE125 which is the dual sport version.
