• 2 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     WR = 2st Enduro & CR = 2st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

This is a on going thread but i have a question .How many WR 125
are sold each year compaired to the CR 125 .I want to purchase a new 2010 125 and for 4 years now i have seen page after page of how most of you guys mostley with the WR spend alot of time getting then to run like you want .Stories of power valve and pipe updates carb changes ect ect .Like i have said in the past i personally have never felt the need to change any thing on my 2006 or 2008 CR 125 .I do run FMF pipes and Turbin core and race gas mixed 32 to 1 that is it .The one time i played with the jeting up in Utha it made it worse so i went back to stock .Maybe i just got lucky or i just do not know any better since i use to be a 4 stroke guy riding 4 strokes since 1974
So now for 2010 i am hopeing for a new CR 125 i have been told that
originally no CR 125 to the USA but as of last week received a update
that yes there will be CR 125 imported to the USA for 2010
Has any one heard the same ? Anyone know of a dealer with a 2010 CR125? Thanks john
 
heard nothing about it,,,but on a sort of side note the FIM is instituting a a new "schoolboy " class of MX world championship featuring 125cc 2 strokes only, Husky, TM, EU Honda and EU Yam are probably board and I am sure others of the small brands will field teams, this is great news for MX privateers and up and coming riders and for "cheap" racing ( if there is really such a thing). The AMA should take a look at this idea,,,oh yea there is also a 150 4T junior racing series as well, from word on the street.


PS I hope "they" are reading this as the Kearny clan and their 99% OEM stock (good advert) CR125s are the only AMA National Class winners on any Husky.

JK, if it helps, I ve got a phone call in......doubt if it helps but it cant hurt.
 
Unless things changed for 09 and newer models the motors are going to be the same with the exception of the ignition. The WR ignition has more mass, makes more linear power, and can run lights. They used to come with different silencers but I don’t think that’s true anymore. If you get a 2010 the CR would have the advantage of KYB forks. As of now I don’t think there is a big tank for the newer ones so I don’t know how one could make a good race bike. Hopefully that is addressed soon.
 
Husky had a bad batch of out of spec powervalves for the 09 WR125. This was really the only issue. Once those are installed it is a ripper. They come with the 50mm TC zokes which can be VERY good, better than any of the 45's i have tried, revalved or not. So if you wanted to get a 09 WR125 and toss a CR ignition in it i think you would have what you are looking for. I love the new frame and find it much better than the 08 and older. Turns better and is more stable. IMHO.
 
All god news so far cant wait to get a new bike .You would think at our age we would
get over that feeling But i think it gets worse as i get older I am setting here hursing
a broken collar bone and counting the day until i can ride again .This bike thing is so
addicting
 
FWIW, USA is not getting the 2010 CR125, BUT..... I just got off the phone with the new Canadian Husq Dist and they are bringing in 2010 CR125s in VERY limited #s.

Do they not all come into NA through the US?
 
Not after Jan 1/2010.

Canada will be completely independent of Husq NA in the new year. We will be getting our own CDN Spec bikes and our own parts supply direct from Italy.

Thanks.
 
Interesting on the '10 CR125.I'm curious if 1-2 might find their way into the US...Hmmm I could make my '09 CR125 my woods weapon and add the '10 CR125 for moto...oh boy! :eek:
I'm curious what are you getting for mileage out of your '09 WR125s?
 
I emailed Husky north america and asked about the 2010 CR 125 and as of 1 week ago i was told YES there would be some CR comming in .Now if more people show they might want one then we should see them That was my original question what is the ratio of sales between the Cr and the Wr .

I'm well aware most are looking for more then the stock tank offers but for what I'll be doing a 45-50 mile range for a tank full would suffice and I've not seen an actual figure stated in the threads I've searched.
So does anyone have an estimate?

35-40 miles in the tight technical steep stuff of the NW. :censored:
 
I was lucky to get 45 out of the old 2.7 gal on pre 09 here in the NE (NETRA, WNYOA, ECEA type stuff) on all my prev 125's.

Thanks man!
I guess in that case I'd be taking a leap of faith to go the '09 WR125 route on a tank solution becoming available by next spring.
My other option is grabbing an '08 CR125 rewinding the stator,hooking up a headlight/tailight and picking up an aftermarket tank as I know there are options for that one but I love the way my '09 CR125 handles so :excuseme:
 
Hey I couldn't help myself so I picked up the '08 CR125 leftover today.I figure with all the money I saved I'll be able to fully woods ready it and still have bucks leftover. :thumbsup:
 
Who is the Canada dealer for Husky now Scotty. My boy loves my 08 cr 125 so much he want one and 2010 cr 125 would be nice. Would be nice for parts also.
