  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Moto on WB165

I want to hear from someone who rides and races a WB165 in motocross. I am 56 and do not ride in the mountains (we live in Vegas) and maybe 2 times a year ride a desert GP race. We (my son and I) are at a moto track almost every weekend since I have purchased a used 2008 cr125; it has brought back the fun for me. I have been riding a TC 250 for the last five to six years and I was not having fun so I parked it about a year and a half ago.

Back to the question who here rides and races (motocross) a WB165 I want to know how it works for moto, I am not sure if I want to go with a modified 125(pipe or what ever it takes to make it pull harder down low) or make it a 144 or the 165, I love the way the 125 runs I just need more pull from low rpm to the mid rpm range.
 
Well I don't race MX but I do play at it almost every weekend. I got my 08 CR 125 new as a "play" bike and it's ended up being my all time favorite and has put many other bikes I've had since on CL. I also have a 2010 TC 250 and ride that on the MX track but not very often. My 125 grew into a HC 144 which was very good and IMO a better MX bike than the stock 125. Now my little Husky is a WB165 with 200 KTM fatty and a SmartCarb. To me it's perfect for the MX track or anything else now. It revs very fast, pulls like crazy out of the turns, and has the Tq. to make the jumps that come up after a tight turn. Just twist and it's off. I love the low - mid range power and the top end rush is still there. I'm 53 and 200 lbs and this combo gets it done with out trying to kill me like my 2005 RM250 :eek:!
 
Oh ....BTW IMHO if you want more pull low-mid skip the 144 and get the WB165. Not knocking the 144's but the 165 is just more everywhere without going overboard.
 
for moto get the WB 165 and the FMF pipe

I ve exsperianced some wheel spin in corners on tarmack with the WB 165 (but on nobies and the right position bodyweight wise) might be a bit harder to achive with the slicks

but a mis shift is not diving down just open up the throtle quicker and your fine
