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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I really love my little husky wr150 but man has it bin trouble first coil broke then fitted new coil and 2 months later coil bracket broken ive had radiator leaking at seams head stays broken man I love this bike but repairing it is getting boring . Any body else had coil brackets break?????????????
 
Ours broke right before the frame cracked. Sounds like the same symptoms we had. Are you MXing it?
 
I had my coil mount brackets break too and the brackets from frame to the head,,i built new coil brackets from 1/8x1/4 steel and sandwinched those to the factory brackets and weld'd them up and reinforced the head brackets too and my radiator also leaked at the seams too.. It was frustrating to have these little problems ruin the days ride,,sometimes engineers and R/D guys are forced to cut corners in certain areas and we pay the price...Those little problems would have almost certainly not happened with the other makes IMO...:doh:

Ours was subjected to everything, MX to scrambles and fast trails. Watch the frame. The latest ones have substantial reinforcements.

When i read your post about this i checked the frame on my bike and found 2 cracks at the front engine mounts (tabs).. Growing discouraged about this bike..:(
 
It broke my son's heart to sell it, he paid for it in full over 4 months as a 17 year old while my dealer held it. He loved everything about it but the replacement frame had the same flex issues and we knew it would crack sooner than later too. He talks about a new 2013 but even with the frame upgrades I'd still admit to being leary of them. When the pro team is shimming frame/engine mounts, which I heard of researching ours... eh.

It's funny you say that,,my sons bummed too his reaction to the cracks were,,,WHATS NEXT DAD******************************************************************************** :censored:
 
So just how "substantial" are the reinforcements on the '13 frame. I'm getting a '13 CR 125 soon and would like a heads up before actually buying the bike.

What year are these bikes you guys mentioned with frame issues? I've heard that the 09s were so bad that the suggestion from Husky was to saw off the head stay to prevent them from ever being used again.
