  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 I Rode The Prototype Wr200 And It Is Amazing...

Just a little update on my quest for the perfect race bike (I feel I am close). For some reason I never rode my WB165 with the FMF WR 125 Fatty that it came with. I was so power hungry when I received the WB165 top end that I immediately modified the Gnarly and threw it on. Well I swapped out the pipes this evening after reading posts and questions from other members. I am still running the small silver with the OEM power valve springs. My knee is still killing me and I am still out of work so I probably shouldnt be riding at all. I threw on a helmet anyway and went for a quick easy ride around the back yard for the sake of you Cafe Husky members! You can thank me later! Poor me had to ride:applause:! I was surprised how ridable the 125 pipe was. It didnt have near the low end and mid of the Gnarly but then again it didnt have the massive hit either! I would ride or race with this pipe if it was my only option. I am currently on Walts KTM 200SX Fatty waiting list so if it is like the delivery of this pipe but only more bottom and mid I am guaranteed to be happy! I noticed that the 125 pipe did rev out more as well where the Gnarly signs off pretty early. I am interested as to what switching power valve spring combos will do? If the pipe didnt hang so low I would consider racing it at the next event. The Gnarly tucks in so nice that I will probably deal with the extra almost to aggressive hit for the next south Jersey sand race. If I dont have the KTM 200SX Fatty for the race in West Virginia (mid April) then I might just run the WR125 Fatty. Just remember that I race both south Jersey sand and north Jersey / Pennsylvania rock and roots. My back yard area / testing area is rock and roots as well. If I raced strictly sand and faster events with minimal rocks and roots then the Gnarly wouldnt be too bad at all besides the fact that it doesnt rev to high. I am not a revver and stick to low and mid as much as possible. I cant wait to try the modified KTM Fatty!

I'll be there too. Riding A-200.......on a C#. I haven't entered an ECEA enduro and asked for a row # since about 1998......I guess they don't do that anymore. Yeh, RIGHT! they wait till the drawing to assign #'s. I guess I will have to remember where they put me when our "drawing" comes up and Meteor "requests" a row #.
And I sent the entries in 5 weeks in advance.

They have like 120 rows. People were sending applications for the 75th SL in December. I know I did.

I guess some people have a "Rabbi", who knows. I do know they put the old guys in front of Pasqua and Lafferty to act as speed bumps.

I signed up as "A" cause they were supposed to move me up I heard but they did not.

See you there!

There's a FMF SST pipe on ebay

I am the one bidding on the pipe. It is going to go towards the group buy when that happens. I fully expect to offer two pipe options for this kit. One will be the KTM 200SX Fatty pipe converted. The other will be a modified 125 Dynaport pipe. The Fatty will be the pipe for those wanting gobs of bottom/mid without sacrificing too much top. The Dynaport will be for those who still want more over rev but will still have a decent and smooth bottom/mid. I am speculating on what we will hear from Norman in the next few days but this is my prediction. FMF is willing to sell us a batch of 200SX pipes with out the spigot, stinger, or brackets welded on and supply us with the correct parts for us to fit. Rich at Dynaport has said he is willing to produce his pipe and you should be able to order that pipe direct. We aren't done with the details yet but that is my prediction and I am hopeful.

I just recieved my sx200 fattypipe this morning and will be modding soon. Just one question, the spigot still stays the exact length as the original 200 pipe as the 125 just as far as the spring lengths ,I know you sead to cut off the 2 oring groves and when adding the 125 spigot I will maintane the original lenght.
Thanks Dave

Walt, I am glad you said something! I was eyeing that one up! :rolleyes: I can not wait for a pipe comparison between these two! I have been switching around back and forth between the WR125 Fatty and the 200 Gnarly. Both work but something with a smooooooth but strong bottom and mid into a nice over rev would be a dream! This will give me an excuse to fiddle around with the power valve springs some more!

Dave let us know what you think of the pipe when you get it modded up and running!

On my waly sx 200 pipe he DID NOT cut any thing off the original 200 pipe where the o rings go
all he did was incert enought of a 125 pipe so as to have a 125 o ring and about 1/4 of a inch so it would go into the 125 head then cut off the 200 stinger and add a 125 stinger

Dave,

You end up with ~ the same length of header by cutting off the two grooves and adding the 125 spigot. I also move the one spring holder around to the bottom on the 09 and up.
 
Pipe update: I just got the Walt KTM/Husky Hybrid 200SX FMF Fatty pipe from P3 and it's the real deal! I'd forget about Doma this and HGS that, because this is the final piece of the puzzle to make the WB165 all it can be. I thought the 165 worked well with my Dynoport 144 pipe, but this is better. In fact I begged Walt to sell me this very pipe after riding the bike with it and I was lucky enough that he said yes! So line right up, for the first batch of these pipes and you won't be dissapointed. This bike is a KTM 200 killer now! I am so glad I didn't buy a Husaberg TE250, because this Husky WR/WB165 is so sweet!
