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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Going to pick up a new cr125 today. :) It is one from the campaign price.
But the dealer just told me I will receive a 2014, because there was no 2013 left. :-)
Have only had ktm and honda before, so this will be the first husky.

Anyone with tips, or a to do list with the most needed upgrades?
Thanx,
 
Congrats and good luck with your new bike. I'm sure that once you ride this bike you will not be sorry you made the switch. I know I'll never look back on my decision to buy one.

As far as tips on the set up depends on the type of riding you do. Woods /motocross/trails/sand/hills
 
Congrats man! I hope you like it. I'm kind of wondering the same thing for myself - woods.

I'll be taking my bike out for the first time this weekend :thumbsup:
 
Rad guards. ... and check the linkage/swingarm for lack of grease. Then, grease accordingly. The lower shock bearing is especially bad and needs frequent regreasing. In the case of the 2012, get to it pronto. May be able to save it. Dang things rust out in no time.

Put on a 36mm Lectron for best results. Worth every penny.

Does the lectron carb require tuning/adjusting? I've heard people having issues with them and I don't understand why, as from what I gather, it should be basically a "plug and play" carb. Is that incorrect?

To an extent. Like anything, you have to dial it in to your bike, as every bike runs different. Once you get it dialed, forget about it.

Yo
You have to tune and dial a regular carb too, so what's the advantage of a lectron?

Consistency and fuel economy...

The lectron runs way more consistent with elevation changes and temperature changes. I have had mine from 30° to 100° and sea level to 8500 feet without touching it and it ran awesome. My mikuni would have been a blubbering mess.

Last weekends ride we had 3 husky 125's with various setups, mine is a lectron equipped 125, Blakes is a lectron equipped 165, and Brandon's is running a crisp well jetted PWK on his 165. We planned a 65 mile loop and Brandon was out of gas at 52 miles. Blake and I both gave him about a half gallon and we still had plenty to spare at the end of our 65 miles. We all three have the same tank too. Not pushing your bike home at the end of a long ride is priceless...


To not help matters of fuel economy I rode the first 8 miles with my choke on! So you can foul a plug with a lectron, if you are really dumb. Apparently I am, haha.

No pictures of me, so some helmet cam video will have to do...





Later,
 
Ditto to what Jake Said. I put a Lectron on my 165, had to make a couple adjustments to it out of the box, and haven't touched it since. From sea level to 6k feet, 40 degrees F to 80, it hasn't missed a beat. It gave me back the fuel range that the 165 kitt took away as well.
 
hmmm... if the price is right - it's tempting because I hate jetting. Is the lectron purely mechanical or is it electrical somehow too? Can you explain the initial setup process to get your 'baseline' jetting established with the lectron?

sorry to threadjack - but this is good info for the OP if he's looking for mods
 
What % premix is good?
4% is recommended during break in. After minimum 3%.
On ktm I have always used 1:60 or 1:50 with no problem ever. (5 bikes)
Of course using hi-grade oil Castrol tts.
