  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Grinding marks inside CR 125 cases?

I picked up a 08 CR 125 with only a few hours on it a few months ago. I still love riding a 125 and had a CR 125 and 250 in 2002.

Anyway before I did anything with this bike I sent the cylinder off to Eric Gorr for 144 work. This morning I went to install the cylinder and put the bike back together. I'm concerned about these strange die grinder marks on both sides of my inner cases.

Is this something that is normal from the factor from cleaning up casting marks? Did the bike have a breakdown? They are just mysterious...

They look like someone slipped with a die grinder but it shouldn't have any affect on how the motor runs. I'd say nothing to worry about.
 
Yep,

Pretty common, I am doing a resto on an 06 and it has the same markings. They won't hurt a thing but check down in bottom end to make sure it is clean. I can see where they were hitting some of the casting burrs with a die grinder and slipped from the factory.

Thanx!
 
Thanks. I was just curious if anyone else had seen the same thing in other bikes. Someone must of had too much wine at lunch. I knew they wouldn't hurt anything and put the thing together today. I would just think they could do a lot better job cleaning up casting burrs and not take such rough chunks out of the metal.
