  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 To Wr Ignition?

Parfo79

Husqvarna
A Class
I know its popular to run a cr ignition in a wr but what about the other way? I have a cr125 which i use for woods riding and dont use alot of top end so I was thinking a wr ignition would be a good move for me. What do you guys recommend?

Bike is stock except Hgs pipe.
 
What year is your CR? I just converted my '09 WR ignition to a CR ignition. You can switch over. Im pretty sure that if your CR is a model year 00 - 06 you will need the stator, flywheel, coil, and rectifier from a WR up to 2011. Im not 100% sure what years work with each other. Check the parts micro fiche on Halls website. Knowing the year of your bike would make it easier. Its a straight forward swap. I went with the CR ignition mainly because its digital and I wanted to use the JD dual map CDI. We will get you squared away.
 
+1 on the flywheel weight. Unless you need a big stator to run a bunch of lights the flywheel weight would have the same affect and can be easily removed plus it enables you to experiment with different amounts of weight. I did this on my 200 GasGas and used a small diameter 10oz weight which split the difference between the big and small ignition.
 
I just looked into adding some fly wheel weight (FWW) to my sons TM 250. Steahly makes bolt on FWW's for most bikes. They are easy to install and cost about $120.00 or so. You can get different weights depending on what you want. Their website has good info on the subject.

The guys are right. It would be easiest to try a FWW weight first. If you did want to make the swap I am not sure if the '98 CR is digital or analog. If its analog then you might just need the stator and flywheel. I will have to check out Halls site.......because I am not really sure.
