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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Well it's light flickable and I love it :thumbsup: It's quite a shock coming off of a 4 stroke though and having never owned a 2 stroke.. But I figured out the ride it like you stole it mantra and all was well..

My buddy.. (old 2 stroke guy from the 70's) remarked with Walt's power valve fix it seemed like it had 2 powerbands the normal one and the lower one . I only got in trouble once going up a hill and 3rd and it just had nothing left.. but no issues if I had it in a lower gear (second) and it would lug up most anything...

a little concerned about the spooge though.. running 32:1 Redline (previous owners recommendation) does a lot of spooge mean your running too much oil or are you too rich ? I think the carb might be a little rich but I'll need to tear into it later when I wash it...

Heres the spooge pics:

will post vids later ! all in all fun bike.. turns on a dime.. and like Kelly said.. more fun than a barrel full of monkeys... Now to get it ready for the woods... Maybe a JD Kit... big bore ... efm... I see my wallet getting smaller..
 
I run all my two strokes at 60 to one and they all dribble out the exhaust. More so if I don't ride the piedoodle out of them, which mostly I don't.:busted:
 
Kevin,

I like them with a little love mud. Give me a call so we can chat about how the little cr responded to a lower opening.

Same here. I run Amsoil Dominator at 40:1 and regardless how well my jetting is, all of my little herd will dribble a little spooge.
I've made the best of it though,....being as how my WR300 has right side drive, I've trained it to oil it's own chain! :D
 
First of all, Redline is hard on your carb. It tends to attack brass. Your bike will start running very rich and act as if it's flooding all the time.

Second, I wouldn't run it at more than 50:1.

I used it for several years in the late '90's and it was also recomended by a local KTM shop and either of us will touch the stuff now.
 
I have the same bike running 32:1 amsoil with very little spooge.

A re-jet and silencer packing should clean yours up, thats quite a bit of spooge.
 
09 WR125, Amsoil at 40:1, works great. Redline and Silkolene did not work all that great for me, spooged a lot and did not run as well. Really like Amsoil. BTW spooge is not a bad thing if your bike runs fine.

I have a couple buddies who ended up buying new carbs after running Redline. They could not get them to work right again. I was sceptical that oil could do this but now I hear that same thing from you so maybe it is true.
 
Congrats on your CR! They are a blast. I love my 08. I run the Amsoil at 40:1 now and it's very little spoog. I do run a FMF Fatty and PC 2 can.
