  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Gearbox oil question

Hi all, I just changed the gearbox oil in my '09 WR125. I normally don't put the whole liter bottle of oil in, but today my thoughts were wandering as I stood there pouring it in and I emptied the whole liter of Belray in to my gearbox. Is there any reason to drain a bit back out, or just ride and not worry? Thanx in advance.
 
Sometimes, too much oil will blow out of the the tranny vent on some bikes, but it usually takes more than just a couple of ounces. Somebody in a service department accidentally DOUBLE filled the transmission during PDI on a new bike of mine once. Excited to give my new prize a whirl once I got it home, I fired the beastie up and did a couple of laps around the vacant lot next door, only to come back to the garage with oil sprayed all over my rear shock and wheel. I drained out nearly two quarts of oil and refilled the transmission properly. And yes, the dealer got a piece of my mind about that.

Thanx, I sort of vaguely remember doing this before without consequence, but I thought that I would make sure. It will be interesting to see how long my clutch lasts. I ride the bike quite a bit, probably six to eight hours a month. I change the gear oil every second or third time that I ride. The bike seems to be holding up well. I frequently slip the clutch with a handful of throttle when I'm trying to wring more out of it. I often see a bit of grey stuff in my used oil, but I assume that this is how it is supposed to be.
 
Personally I would run the recommended ammount. Do you have a slurp gun in your garage? They come in handy. If you don't stop by the 99 cent store and get yourself a turkey baster and put a piece of hose on the end of it. Works great for adding a little radiator fluid or sucking out a couple excess ounces of oil.
 
I believe the 125 takes .8 liter. Putting a full liter in isn't that much more oil. I wouldn't put 2 liters in...but that little extra isn't enough to cause any problems.

Some people might actually reccommend it.
