  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Husqvarna WR 125 2008 Loud sounds

Hey! As far as i know all huskys that i've ever heard are extremely loud compared to ktm exc models. I think it has something to do with the airbox being so poorly sealed so theres loud suction noise. I have a 2012 KTM EXC 125 Silencer on my husky but its still extremely loud. Any suggestions on getting lower sounds? And what could i use to soundproof the airbox a little more without messing with airflow too much.
Thanks!
 
And also is it only my husqvarna or is it the same with all that i have to adjust the carb even for a 5 degree celsius change in the weather?

no you are not the only one but there is a solution for your carb problem

get a LECTRON

Have a browse on this forum and you know what the deal is

the TMX is very sensitive and not only on temp also on humidity and elevation (all parameters that effect the amount of oxygen in the air)

I don't think my bike is especially loud for a "racey" 2-stroke. Way louder than my old KDX but that's not saying much...

I've run my PWK with one setting from about 50 to 95 degrees, from 0 to 2500 feet elevation, not an issue.
 
Should i post a video of my bikes sounds? Its loud even though my pipe is completely sealed throughout and i have just changed the packing in my silencer, and yes its packed right.
 
I have a DB snorkel installed on my bike and it does does work in reducing the noise but more the high pitch sneer sound

from your video i can't say that your bike is overly load

what is the concern for you?

I keep getting noise complaints because i live in a city and the bike is registered as road legal (which it totally isnt):D and i would love for it to be a tad quieter so i could ride in peace. And as far as the airbox is, would soundproofing it by adding some sort of fabric? or something like that help? because it sounds like it would have the seat off the whole time.
 
I would think that the majority of noise come from the air box what you could try is to line the inside of the air filter with noise absorption foam

in my early days when I building loud speakers i used some of this material
the following link is a manufacturer of the stuff http://www.pritex.co.uk/ but for sure there are more options on the same concept.

It sounds normal
I've only heard of one guy doing insulation in box or sealing holes
But there may be restriction in airflow
How easy was it to fit the silencer?
 
It wasnt too hard, i cut about 10cm of the silencer off so it would line up and just connected it with some car radiator hose and some hose clamps. And the attachments on the silencer lined up with a small extension on the lower clamp of the silencer.
 
I'm not sure what you expect out of a two smoker, but that thing sounds normal to me. Maybe you should consider a four stroke if your looking for a quieter bike. :cheers:
 
The long FMF turbine core muffler off the KTM 200 makes mine nice and quiet. I have a YZ250 muffler on it now and it is loud, to loud. All of this is on a 165cc kitted bike with various versions of KTM 200 pipes.
 
In the video it doesnt sound loud, but irl its pretty loud compared to ktm exc 125's. And no 4-strokes for me ;)
