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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just picked up a 2013 CR 125, it's my first husky. Just looking for any helpful set up or tuning tips for a first time husky owner in south east Michigan. I will be putting the 144 kit on. Any help would be great, thanks
 
Congrats! Many posts on here about tuning and set-up.Do a thread search and enjoy that bike! I put a lectron carb and a fmf fatty pipe on my wr150 and it is awesome,made a great bike perfect.:cheers:
 
Id ride it for a few times with the 125 on it - they are fun . Then the 144 with a fatty - play with needle height and types - general jetting to suit location .
The 144 can be made to go harder with some cylinder tuning but my 144 goes very well now its sorted
If you find the 125 not to your liking the 165 kit is an option .
There was a move towards the leaner 5 slide and richer RM needle with a leaner pilot but if you can get it good with what you have then its all good - search threads in Index
 
This site is the best! Thanks for the help, was wondering what was different with the carb slide that came with 144 kit than the one that came stock on the bike? Man it's a good bike, hope you love your WR

I haven't started my teardown yet so I don't know what is actually in my OEM carb. When I get back home I'll look at the carb slide that came with the "full power" kit.

I believe my WR came with the number 5 slide installed as OEM. I think your CR came with the number 4 installed. Maybe the dealer worked your carb when 144 was installed????
 
The number is on the slide . The CR should come with a 4 .0 slide. The full power kits for the wr came with a 4.0 I believe . To help richen the low to mid - reduce bog. But a few guys like the leaner slide with the richer RM needle . The 5.0 slide has a tad bigger cut and so leaner. The 5.0 may suit the 144 better - especially if you use a richer needle or richer needle setting.
