  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 How often do you repack your WR125 muffler.

The bike is really loud when ridden at any other than idle! It has 28 hours on a FMF TC2. Probably should have been repacked at 10-15 hours right?...especially with all the spooge soaking the packing.

Thanks,

Yep the more spooge the faster you lose the sound dampening. I do mine about every 25 hours, but mine isn't probably spooging like yours.

'08 CR 125 with FMF TC2 like yours. Mine was also really loud after about 30 hours. I just repacked and noticed a significant improvment, although it's still a lot louder than my buddy's KTM 200 with, I think, the same silencer.

I think these bikes are loud partly because of a thin expansion chamber and very open airbox. Plus, we tend to rev the snot out of them, so they're making a bunch more noise.

Oh, and don't repack the TC2 the way I did, which was to remove the riveted spark arrestor assembly from the end of the silencer. It was a pain to remove and get back in, and the little bit of packing material that you can access on the spark arrestor part of the silencer is probably not deteriorated like all the packing that is easily removed. FMF doesn't recommend removing this part from the silencer during a repack. Neither do I!
 
Thanks. I am going to tackle the re-pack this week. Sometimes I come off that little bike with my ears ringing. Need some ear plugs. I can always hear my wife coming down the trail. Not many 125s out there nowadays.

yeap you should because repacking the exhaust improves throttle response and also reduce the chance for your endcan to crack.
