  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 New guy contemplating WR125

First off, great forum!
I'm looking into getting back to the woods after years at the motocross track and am looking to build the ultimate woods weapon. I've owned KDX's and KTM200's but looking for something with a different flavor.
Love the look of the Husky's and they are priced well.
My question is, is there and differences between the 2012 thru 2014 WR125?

Thanks in advance.
 
Welcome to Cafe Husky. I have a 2012 CR125 converted to a CR165 kit sold by Wally bean here on Cafe Husky. It's light and makes plenty of power to haul my 230lb geared up arse around the woods. I don't think there were any changes from 12-to-14 my. Don't contemplate, just buy it and enjoy. There is plenty of info and great people to help you build your bike here.

I just came off of a 08 YZ 125, and I was looking for something that handled like a 125, but had a bigger hit of power. One of the reasons why I bought the Husky was because I loved the possibility of turning it into the 165 - a lot of people here LOVE it, and I'm sure I will too. Right now I have the 144 kit installed.

Handling wise - you'll love it. The durability is second to none. and if you like being the guy that has something 'different' you've come to the right place :thumbsup:
 
+37 Get it. I just bought a back up 13 to my 09. It's almost time to swap the 165 top end over to the new bike, and get her dirty...
 
Have a 2008 cr125 and rode the shit out of it for 5 years best bike I have ever owned. Just repalced it with a 2013 wr125 which seems great so far. I also own a 2012 KTM 250sx and going to a mx race tommoro and thinking I might take the wr also and give it a try on track just to compare. I am guessing my lap time would be close because wr125 handles so good and I know track is going to get really nasty buy last race and wr would be a perfect sleeper bike to bad it not converted to 165 yet.
 
As the others here have said these bikes is dynamite. I could go on forever about how much I like mine. Simply put these are the best bang for your buck and you won't be sorry for buying one.
 
Sounds like an easy decision.....
How easy/hard is it to put a headlight/taillight on it?
It already has a lighting coil?

The dealer I bought mine from here in New Jersey installed everything for me when I bought it. But the connections look pretty simple to me. I using a Polisport headlight and an Acerbis tail light. They work good and they do the trick. There are other choices as others here will tell you and I'm certain they are all good.
