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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc CR250 Husky

The last year for a CR250 here in the states was 2002.

They are phenominal IMO! The fork was the weak link. I'm interested in finding one, too. They hold a lot of sentimental value for me. I really liked the 01-04 series frames.

If you don't mind me asking, Jake, is this search Scalvini pipe related?
 
Damn, back in 2002 I bought a 2002 KX 125, I wish there was a Husky dealer nearby, I would have bought the CR250 instead!
 
I have a street plated 2002 cr250 ...it has now been wr'ized with lights and other goodies. Not two weeks ago, there was a 2002 cr250 advertised not far from me for 2500.00. I checked tonight and the ad is gone.
 
My son has been wanting to find one also...I had quite a few of them I sold in my area when I was a Husky dealer...been back tracking thru my old dealer registrations to see if I can find one to buy back...no luck yet...got about 15 more to go thru..if I find 2 I'll give you a shout.

I wanted to buy one, but ended up buying '02 Honda CR250 instead. Knowing what I know now, I wish I had bought it. I'd still like to have one.
 
Since the parts are still interchangeable with the current WR, I should just start buying up 2002 CR250 parts as I find them.
 
I had a 2000 and a 2001 and the 01 handled better. Same head angle but the headtube was welded on the frame 12mm higher. For me it was a big difference, I would go '01 or '02 but I'd skip on '00, personally.
 
That's my parts bike and I thought it was an '03. Guess it must be an '02, I should verify the VIN. Parts have started moving so it's getting less and less complete.

To me, 2002's are the most desirable.

You're prob right. Did it get a V-force reedblock? I didn't own one. Either way you're stuck with the 45 shiver fork which is ok by vintage standards but a nice set of ohlins or a new-gen tripleclamp setup with the stock KYB48s or even a set of showa kit forks would make this bike a real ego-smashing sleeper!!! I've decided I need one. Shoulda KEPT MY '01:banghead:
 
Yes it did. The forks are the only bad part about the older Husky's, but like you said, there are all sorts of swap options now.
