  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Do 125 piston kits really go from 98-2013?

I'm starting to look for a ring or full piston kit for my 99 WR125. Do the parts really cross over from 98 thru todays new 2013 125s? Any difference in the WR vs. CR 125 pistons or cylinders in 99? Was OEM a single ring or double?

Thanks, Jim
 
Does that go for gaskets too? Specifically the cylinder base gasket? I can get a ring in there with just that, right? Thanks, Jim
 
LOL! I thought the ring might be a bit tired as it was so easy to kick, till my son tried it and said it had at least as much resistance as his KTM 125 with a brand new top end. I guess that I need to adjust more than my riding style going back to a 125! Looks like the top end can wait!

I put a new piston in mine, a 1998 without breaking the head/cylinder connection. The only reason I did that is power valve broke where a little rod pushes and pulls it in it's bore. If you hear a vzzz kind of noise stop immediatly before the powervalve hits the piston. The origional is quite an impressive high quality item at least in my opinion. The advice I go was to use the thinnest gasket which I did and that was what was in there at least within my error range.

The ktm 125/200 design seems to be able to carbon up and stick but none of the parts seem like they can get loose. I can't see a way to inspect the place that failed without taking the cylinder off. The husky design neved did carbon up and stick on me.
