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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Going to,view a 2001 wr125. Seller says bike does not charge battery. My thoughts are so what, who needs it anyway. My other bike does not use a battery. Does this bike need a battery?
 
Bike sound like its WRE not a WR if it has a battery !!! Pretty sure even the 2001 WR was never fitted with a battery unless fitted by the owner.
Two very bikes, If fitted with cable operated power valves - none adjustable suspension ect ect its a WRE.
 
I have the wre, differences, wre has a 28mm dellorto carb, with an auto lube pump and oil tank under the seat/ oil pump on side of engine operated by throttle cable, radiator hoses are slightly different, have an extra piece connecting them on wre, blieve ignition timing is different so it's not as quick to rev as wr/ cr, and yes wre has battery under the seat, not sure if wr does/ should. Same engine though, I have cr head on mine
