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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi all. I've got a completely standard 2013 wr125 except for a PWK38AS fitted. The carb came delivered with a DDJ needle which I found (after trying DDL & DDK) gave the best response in the bottom half of throttle range but was a little weak above half throttle. If I raised the needle any further the bottom half was slightly rich but the response from 1/2 throttle was good.
I'm now running an ECJ needle (main difference to DDJ is a richer taper). This needle seems to me to give good response right through the range. I've even now set the powervalve back to the factory setting and didn't seem to experience the dreaded bog. Admittedly this was only on a quick test ride around the block.
For the record I'm running a 40 pilot, a/s 1.75 turns out and 180 main. A plug chop shows the main is one size rich but I prefer the piece of mind over the 178.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has tried this needle and how they felt it performed.
