  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 purchased a 2012 WR125. It has a 144 kit. This is my first Husqvarna. What should I do to prep the bike for riding? Is the stock jetting okay for sea level? How much oil does the motor hold?

Is it brand new?

I would break it down completely and grease all bearings and pivot points VERY WELL. This is under-done from the factory. Jetting is hit and miss. Your going to have to sort that out, as there is no cut and dry answer for what will work best for your setup. There are, however, some people on here that could probably get you close to what your looking for, as long as your tell them which carb your running (stock mikuni, or aftermarket kehin)

You, my friend, have purchased what I consider to be one of the best trail bikes out there...

Your oil question confuses me.
 
That is the ticket..... I bought a new one in June and this is a great handing motor cycle ...... As Blake said there are a bunch of people who can really help with your set up....Good luck with it....
 
sorry i was not clear my ktm holds 700cc of oil and the bike is new the dealer put the 144 kit in before i brought the bike home

Check out my thread "new" 2010 wr144. My bike was in new condition when I bought it about 6 months ago and I completely disassembled it and greased every-thing. As said before, the factory is very skimpy with grease when the bikes are built. The trans holds .85 quarts of oil or have the level in the middle of the sight glass on the clutch cover when the bike is level.:cheers:.
