  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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/WB 177

Holy smokes walt... You are a tinkerer... Thats for sure!!! Good job buddy. How are you not making millions by now??
 
Yes the course is under snow but in two weeks the guys come back to work and we are on for 8 months. For me that means pretty much 7 days a week. I keep my evenings free for doing this as it tends to relax me and keep my mind off the BS.
 
ok hears a plan lets all go fubar Walts golf course too a BS free state and keep it that way then verybody buy a wally bean built motor so he dont starve Walt you mite half to start doing some TMs KTMs AND Gasgas maybe a few Fantics..LOL any know if there's a Fantic dealer in the US?
 
Walt are you going to test the 144 cylinder with the stroked bottom end too? That would be an interesting combo..... I heard somewhere that close to square is where 2 strokes run best?
 
I certainly can but it will be awhile as we just got another dump of snow and it isn't going to go away for a while. I am not really willing to build a specific head spacer for a 144 so I will just have to run it with the cylinder plates and the highly advanced timing. Should scream though. MaxRpms makes that kit and I am sure that there are a few out there. Maybe someone who has one can respond.
 
The bore is maxed out pretty much but there is the possibility to stroke a bit further. It would take some work on the cases and they would start to be a bit thin unless you start to compromise other things like pin diameter. Personally I think the 177 is going to be almost a bit much for the guys that like the ability to just make traction and motor up stuff easily. I won't really know until I have some time on it in the gnarly crap.

Enough with these little bikes, how big can you make a 360? :D


Heh, just kidding, that 360 is as much as I want to handle. Kinda makes you wonder though, hmm...

Sounds like you are building a trials engine!
I'm getting used to the 300 Beta power that wheelie outs in sixth(147lbs). To have that kind of lofting power in the tiddler would be a change in riding habits.

I like the ability to ride a gear high and still pull most anything. That said don't let my comments deceive you into thinking these don't flat out get with the program when you want to. It is just that the 177 tried to kill me initially when I was expecting about the same response as the 165.

Drawtite?
 
I'm waiting patiently for Walt to let me know he's got my 177 done. Once I get a few rides on it I will post a full ride review. Cant wait to rip that thing. I race my beta 300 but when it's all about fun I always ride the cr165. If I wasn't a 250 pound A level racer I would probably be on the Husky full time, at my size I can just go faster on the Beta in the races we run here in northern California. Hoping the 177 will give just that bit of extra where It can beat the Beta lap times, then I can have more fun while racing and trail riding.
