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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

How long do you blokes(& blokettes) get outta ya petals? I ordered a new set(cheers oemcycle!) thinking they'd be toast but looking through cases they still look like new! 160+ hours now!!!image.jpg
 
My WR300 from 2010 is still on the first set but they need to be changed ASAP, I will try to install a VForce4 reed :cool:
 
Well, on the first eye-spot you notice that the 4 has petal stoppers while the 3 don't:

But officially they's much more to it:
The all-new VForce4 is built upon the solid foundation that has made the VForce3 such a success for the last 10 years. While the VForce3 has been continually refined over the years, this is a complete redesign of the entire system. We jokingly say, "The only thing we didn't change is the bolt pattern." However this is actually quite true. All the components that go into making a VForce reed valve system have been significantly changed since the VForce3.

They are not a direct fit for the Husky WR's, I'm still checking out how I'll do...

Regards.
 
I had a V-force on a 2002 CR250 husky. It needed spacer as the reedblock would hit the cylinder without. As such it pushed the carb back and the airbox boot got a hole rubbed in it from the shock. When I rebuilt the bike I removed the V-force and spacer plate and put t back to stock. Unfortunately the V-force added a good bit of bottom that is now missing. It was a very noticeable amount. I have learned to ride the bike as is but miss the additional power and am looking to get the V-force back on the bike at some point.
 
125/144/165 guys is 160+ hours normal? I'd have thought with amount of revs they do they'd wear a lot quicker than that. Had to replace 300 petals at 200 hours & it would seem they're due again now at around 330 hours(2t oil pooling in airbox)
 
My 165 is a 2010 and still has the original reeds in it that still look perfect !
Started it up for the first time in over 4 months the other day and she lit up 3rd kick on the fuel that was still in the tank! Still rides perfect and made me wonder why I ever laid the thing up.
Will be taking her out for a airing over the Xmas just t put a smile back on my face :love:
