  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 think any 200 pipe that is currently on a WB165 tested will be perfect.

the difference between pipes will only be "where do you want to have the gravity of the power delivery".

I have sold Scalvinis to several yz167 owners and they really like them!
 
I have spent some more time riding the 177 in the gnarly. I am getting used to the extra hit and explosiveness and find it addicting. It is also more stall proof than ever. Just keeps plugging, just give it more throttle. I am hoping to get my WR ignition back in the near future so I can try it with this kit. I think the extra flywheel weight will be perfect. I have three more being used now with two being just installed. Hope to have some more feedback soon. I wouldn't say that the kit is easier to ride, in fact I think it is more edgy and requires some finesse with the throttle hand. You can still make great time and ride effortlessly staying below the hit and handle most anything. You just need to be sure you want to light it up if you are going to grab a handful.

Still a pretty expensive proposition but cheaper than a new bike if you love the Husky tiddler like I do. JMO
 
Walt we will see how my 177 runs this weekend. Wife's lawn mower hydrostat went south so I been rebuilding that so that's taking up some my garage time ! Got my forks and shock installed that LT RACEING set up for my weight, engine in it just misc. left . Dozer guy just spent 2 days redoing some parts of track back yard in backyard so Saturday we will break it in
 
If my bottom end goes in the near future this sounds like a good route.

Does it kick over/start any easier/harder than the 165?

Love my 165, starts first kick cold everytime. But for some reason its 3-5 kicks warmed up. Can't figure that out.
