  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 CR125 Exhaust Spacer?

Hello all!
I'm setting up my recently purchased 2001 CR125 for woods riding. I have geared it down (13/50), it has a JD Ignition with the fast/faster switch, Pro Circuit pipe and silencer, and the jetting is...getting there. I'm still searching for more low end power, and have read about reed spacers and exhaust spacers. Has anyone on here used one or both? Would it be more beneficial to use one over the other, should I use both, or are they garbage? Any other recommendations for some low end grunt?
Any and all input is appreciated, Thanks!
 
A big bore kit is something I definitely will consider in the future, but that's really a lot more than I care to spend right now, over half of what I paid for the bike. Maybe those carb blade inserts would help?
 
not sure what else you could do to the little bikes? perhaps ensure squish is correct & play with PV setting/ignition timing? short of big bore you pretty well done it all with gearing & exhaust. keep eye out for 2nd hand 144 kit or 165 if you can spring for it.
 
Go search Husky Forum on Thumper Talk. There are 2 threads on mods for '04 CR125's. They were the biggest Husky threads on TT ever!
 
iv had good luck with the moose torque spacer thing on the intake side of things worked real good on the kids bikes [KX65,RM80] PM Wally Bean he might be able to hook you up with something

Ahaha, only paid $1k for the bike and so far I'm in it $1300 total. I've never owned a small displacement two stroke and never converted one from MX to enduro style. Guess I had no clue what I was getting into! Its definitely one of the most fun factor for the dollar bikes I've had though.
Also, I need to replace the right fork seal, does anyone know of a write up on these forks? I have the manual, but its calling for a special tool marzocchi makes that seems unobtainable...
Thanks for the help, guys!
