  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 CDI mounting is inadequate

Found my first flaw in my 12 CR144. This may be old news to people familiar with this gen frame, search turned up only a brief mention burried in an unrelated thread. It may also only happen to MX ridden machines.

The CDI easily slides out of the rubber suspension. There are two tiny tabs molded into the CDI meant to prevent this, but they don't cut it. I came back from a 20 minute moto to see my CDI dangling by the harness. Horrified, I assume it was slamming around on the motor/carb/frame. Not cool for delicate circuitry. Next moto it had almost worked its way out. When I got home I ran a zip-tye around in, through the rubber mount loops to really squeeze the suspension to the CDI, and slipped it back over the frame tabs. We'll see if this ends it, seems like it will. BEWARE!!
 
Our '11 150 CDI is mounted differently than the '12's. It hangs under the tank next to the left motor mount. You can't see it real well under the larger tank but the bottom edge is circled in the pic. We've never had an issue with it coming out of the mount in lots of races.
