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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey everyone, so my Husky CR125 chews heaps of fuel. 2 days of riding and went though about 30-40 litres or fuel. Anyway, using that much fuel isn't the issue just the repetitive fueling up is whats annoying, and worrying whether or not ill make it back to the camp site before running out of fuel.

I've been looking at tanks, but they are rather expensive, but i am after some recommendations for good tanks. Also wondering if a larger tank will weigh the front end down a bit more? Seems to get a bit twitchy in gear 5-6 pinned down dirt/sandy roads (but what do you expect from a 125!?) I was also wondering if a LR tank that'd suit a TE/TC would fit my CR as they do share a similar/same frame?

Now to my second question, has any fitted a front light to their bikes? was it a hard and pricey task? I only want a front headlight set up on it, not indicators or a rear light or horn. Also, wouldn't mind having a kickstand on it, recommendations for that would be much appreciated too!!

Thanks to everyone that takes their time to answer much appreciated!!

I'm running an oversize IMS TC250 tank on my '10.I found it used for a good price on here. I think you just need a 09 and up. The wr tank s larger than the cr. I have never found mine to be twitchy, I do run the forks up in the clamps by 5mm. I had a steering stabilizer but removed it as the bike was so stable. Can't help you with lights but, I think you would have to change to a wr ignition with a lighting coil. I'm sure someone would swap. Otherwise you could use an LED and just install a small battery, not a motorcycle type more like an rc pack.
