  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Have my 09 WR125 running awesome...

It is a 38mm sorry. Will correct, thanks. (Fixed now, hit refresh)

It should be about as good to go as it can be. Of coarse your setup, pipe, muffler, area, altitude, temps and other stuff play a role here so there might be some tweaking. the Needle is SUPER EZ to change position on with the screw off top.
 
Thanks Walt and I can't wait to see what a 144 puts down. Ok K just let us know when the ship docks, thanks.

We have the PWK's in stock, will get them on the web soon. 178 main, 45 pilot and the blue JD needle middle position works well on my bike. Very well. 1600-3800 feet elevation.

Kelly,

What throttle valve cutaway will come with this PWK? Being from Michigan, I'm at about 600 feet elevation. I have a 6.5 cutaway from a previous bike. I'm wondering what our 125's will require by comparison.

Thanks!
 
im thinking about upping my compression and going to race gas on mine, just wondering if anyone else has gone this route? been told if i go this way cylinder psi shoud be around 210psi**************************************** as apposed to the 170-180 im used to. it will all depend on if i get the green bike sold and another 250 bought, that way i can trail ride the big bike.

usually a good way to gain good bottom end power. :thumbsup:

I'll check again but think it is a 7.

My house is at about 150 feet and it runs good here. Rode at almost 3800 and ran good there too.
 
I am glad we now have a PWK kit available for the 125, I have been hot to try one from day one.
But now that I have all the changes to the PV (adjustment and springs) my Mikuni is working very well. Starts first kick hot or cold and will idle all day and runs clean all the way through.
45 pilot for good roll on power
kit needle in bottom clip (richest)
#5 slide to clean up mid range
450 main always has worked
I am sticking with the mikuni for now, but if I start having trouble with temperture and elavation changes, I will get the PWK kit.

Yes, my Mikuni was working well too. Just wanted to try the PWK because it seems a lot of people go that route. I have also ridden and jetted my buddies 07 WR250 with the PWK and there was obvious gains there as well. I am in no way saying anyone needs it and the Mikuni can work well. IMHO the PWK does work better and offer more tuning possibilities.

here are what i feel are the advantages over the Mikuni:

1. better low end response, lugs better, and cleaner running
2. EZer to work on and tune
3. Slightly better mileage
4. less finicky about temperature and altitude
5. Way more needles to choose from
6. Screw off top is EZer to work on, seals way better, makes needle changes a 1 minute job on the 125
7. Has and EZ idle adjustment, no lock nut / screw
8. starts better (never a real issue but it does light quicker)
9. does not load up on long down hills like my Mikuni would / needed a few good rips before it would clean out. The PWK seems to stay clean running after long down hills.

It is actually a very slightly use piston Walt gave me at Moab, so stock. Will be replacing soon with a Weisco.

why not stock? ive always heard so many good things about the stock pistons.

1/2 the cost and never had an issue with Wiesco. Not sure why but they always seemed to make more power than the stock piston on my WR250 rebuilds as well.
 
Kelly,

The new forged Vertex piston is pretty nice. A little lighter than the Wiseco and has the electro coated skirts too. Just another option.

Walt

I had one of both and compared them side by side.

I thought the Vertex was a Weisco with some coating on it?
 
Kelly,

Very different pistons. Vertex was sold to a new owner in 08 and has pursued their own line of forgings. Just what I have read when doing some google searching last year. Side by side they don't look like the same manufacture at all but you never know out here in sticksville.

Walt

PS, who knows if maybe Vertex is jobbing their pistons out to Wiseco?
