  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 CR/WR 165 jetting specs for sea Level

I purchased my nephew a 2012 Cr125 with a 165 kit. Wondering what jetting works best for the stock carburetor at sea level. Seller told me it was jetted for a 144. He also included a Lectron carb with the bike. I always heard the Lectron carb was more suited for riding at higher altitude.
Any thoughts on what the jetting should be?
Any carb baseline settings would be appreciated.
I did look at the 125 jetting pages but did not really see what I was looking for.
Thanks
 
Is it the stock Mikuni? I don't have specs for that for your area. I always felt like I was chasing my tail with the Mikuni because it was pretty finicky. I would probably want to get the Suzuki needle but will need to see if I can find the right one for you. Then a 470 or 480 main and a 25 pilot. This is just spit balling as I haven't jetted for low elevation and high humidity.
 
I would put the Lectron on it. No questions... I have one I took off of my 165 which I replaced with the SmartCarb S2. I'll check to see which metering rod it has in it and the measurements for the rod setting.
I also have a 165 with an Keihin AirStryker carb on it. I can check the jetting in it for you, but the Lectron beats it hands down.
 
Thanks for the help. Bike has stock Mikuni. Seller said it was jetted for 144 kit. I always thought a Lectron was for higher altitudes. I am at sea level normal northeast weather (seasons). I will check the Lectron I have this weekend and see what it has, I am not familiar with them at all. Could use some help setting up that carb. I was surprised the owner took off the Lectron and went back to stock carb.
 
Happy to help. Lectron covers all altitudes.
I've purchased Lectrons from people claiming they were junk and found out the metering rod was 180 degrees backward.
It's hard to tell.
Give me the number on the metering rod.
 
Would like to join into this conversation. I have a 2012 cr125 with Walt’s 165 kit and lectern carb, absolutely fabulous. So…..it has always started 1st kick no matter how long it sat. Went out to go for a ride and all of a sudden kick kick kick about 10 times before it would start. Changed to new plug same thing. I can’t think what would cause such a sudden change. Anyone have any suggestions. Thanks for any ideas.

I would make sure you don't have a fuel issue, ie, float and needle hanging up one way or the other. condensation build up in the bottom of the float bowl, make sure of fuel flow from the tank and that the breather is not plugged. Every time I had a kickety kick starting problem with mine it was a fueling issue. I know the frustration of having a bike that always started first kick and then nothing.:excuseme:
 
Thanks Walt. I messed with it last night seems to be flooding. Seeping gas around the float bowl seal so going to call lectern and see if I can get a new seal before removing the carb.
 
Just a follow up on my sudden hard starting issue. Turned out to be the choke mechanism, would pull it up but had to fiddle with it to get it to stay. Then on kicking it would immediately drop so no choke turned into many kicks. New choke mechanism and its back to one kick cold start. You were right Walt, thanks!
