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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

just wondering what heat range the 165 guys are running
I was running an 9 which is standard for a 125 and to help to reduce chance of pre-ignition.
I don't think that is a issue now and wondering about using an 8 or even a 7.
I know another user is running a 165 with a 7 and its cleaner and not fouling plugs
 
Are you using the Lectron? I have used both the 9 and the 8 with good results but my fuel isn't like yours.
 
No just the old mikuni ( which I like ) - new mikuni not so much yet

The other guy is using a Lectron and its fouling unless he uses a 7 plug
 
Sounds like he is too rich on the bottom. Have him pm me so we can work out where he is at and what we can do to fix his fouling problem.
 
I deal probably with the same crappy fuel conditions as in OZ and the best results I have is with a 8 plug

Last time i checked (just 5 minutes ago) there is no hole in my piston top
and I am running this 8 plug for a year now

165 barel, lectron carb, and crap fuel adapted head

sweet RJ I have a few spare BR8EG's from the 300 so save me buying more. same set up as you(well nearly just gotta put 165 on, came today!)
 
Depends mostly how you use it. Be honest with yourself on how you use it. We all use our bikes differently and there is no correct answer for all people and all riding habits. If you torque it around and rarely rev it hard for more than a second, a warmer 8 plug will be just fine (I wouldn't recommend a 7). If you rev it mercilessly, an 8 could most certainly cause a failure. Are you fouling with a 9? If not, there is no need to run the 8. If yes, be certain the jetting is sorted and there is no other underlying issue for the fouling, before trying an 8.

I run a BR10eg for Iceracing where it is revved long and hard, and a BR9EG for moto where it is revved short and hard. I've never fouled either range BTW in 41 hours.
