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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I need help with two 2003 TM MX125

I bought 2 TM's 125cc from 2001-2003. One had the CDI box in a very crude DIY made bracket behind the front number plate. The other was located sitting lose on top of the air filter. The CDI boxes are original according to the parts list number and pictures.

But here it comes:

I can not find any screw holes or other "evidence" were that CDI box was mounted. On both bikes. To make things worse, the exact location of the CDI box is not shown on the original drawings. Nor can i find anything metal bracket, plastic holder or rubber parts for holding the CDI box in the original parts list.

And the wires are to short to keep it in my pocket. Beside of that, my MX outfit does not have pockets.....

Does anyone here has knowledge of early 2000's TM 125cc bikes to tell me where the CDI box belong and how it is mounted?

I refuse to believe that a factory level brand has something delicate like an CDI box just floating around in the filter box.

Or are dirt bikes boys?
 
They're girls...
And I have a 2003 TM100 that has the CDI in the air box.
It will be about a week before I can get a picture to you.

I have time, it is 6 weeks before the track is prepared for the new season. And it also depend on the weather. Here in the north of the Netherlands, a lot of rain turn the track in heavy mud. And frankly, i am a little to old for that.

Nice bikes, I am restoring a 2001 at the moment, will be quite content if it gets looking as good as yours!

I have had two from this era now(01 EN and 03 MX)...it indeed goes in the air box...they get zip tied to the fin on the air box side of the rear fender.
I think they added brackets in the airbox as time went on.
 
oh and not sure what number 2 looks like, but the engine on number 1 is no newer than a 1999. The 2001-2012? have coolant hose coming out of the cylinder on the stator side.
And the waterpump is postioned vertically on the 01+ versus the older where it points to worlds the exhaust header.
