  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 am a proud new 2013 CR125 owner. Need larger tank. I know its been discussed in here but which one? I would rather buy the IMS for the 1/2 gallon or so over the WR. Been reading about fitment woes though. I have one on my 07 with no issues. Those of you that had fitment problems did/would IMS stand good a for replacement? Thanks for any insight.

Oh yea did I mention? This bike is AWESOME!
 
I just bought a new IMS and it holds exactly the same amount as the WR tank on the other bike... The new ones are a redesign which also are used for the injected bikes with the fuel pump.
 
I have a '12 WR with the IMS tank. I had no issues fitting the tank to the bike. The seat is a little more of a snug fit than with the stock tank, but no problem. The only quibble I have with it is that the shape of the tank around the filler cap interferes with the left fork leg on full left turns. I pulled my steering stops way in for tight woods, and I have to readjust the left stop out a little more so I'm not banging on the tank.

I also did not find that large a volume difference between the stock WR tank and the IMS. I measured mine as 0.24 gallon more than the WR.

Really, so what volume did you come up with for the stock WR tank?
Also, that is the only issue I had with the 07 IMS tank but the steering stops are ground down for tighter turning. Was always going to use a heat gun and remedy it but.....never did. It just won't go completely to full lock. Bumps the tank.
While I've got your attention. That conversion you did with the CR125 ignition w/KTM lighting coils. Will it work on my 2013 digital ignition as well? Thanks,

Dave
 
I've got the old ims on my '09. Seat is a pita to get on, sometimes to the point where I need to loosen the tank bolts to get it to fit. In addition it pinches the crossover hose for the radiators although that could be remedied by lengthening the hose.

The left fork leg also hits it quite a bit. I haven't turned out the steering stop and it hasn't caused any issues after many crashes but it seems like something bad will happen sooner or later. I hadn't thought about reshaping it with a heat gun, maybe i'll give that a try.

As far as the ignition goes, as long as the stator is the same it should work. I think i'm going to wind mine up myself. I've done a few on other bikes and it's fairly easy.
 
I've found fitment of the IMS tanks is a crapshoot. The 1st one for my '09 fit pretty bad, like uranys the seat was almost impossible to get on. After it leaked IMS replaced it free of charge and the new one fit much better. Just put an IMS tank on my YZ250 and again the seat is hard to get on and 1 of the shrouds doesn't line up.
 
That's why I bought the WR tank from Hall's, no fitment issues, looks like it belongs, and no capacity increase with IMS's new tanks due to the fuel injection remold for the 4t Huskies.

The only advantage I see with the IMS tank is if you want white.

The old CR ignition was digital - the same more or less - I believe so yes it should work
The WR changed to digital not CR
