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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

hi guys,im lookin to do the piston on my cr125 and on ebay there are many makes,thought i would see which is the most popular.i dont rag it as im re-learning my skills after 20 yr away from off road riding,but reliability is more important than any increase in power etc,ive used bike for about 12 hrs since i brought it,and have done quite alot of little jobs,to make sure its safe,wheel bearings,pads,changed gearbox oil every 2 rides etc,but im getting nerves about top end cause i cant afford new cylinder if it lets go.
thanks steve
 
The stock Husky piston is very good. I would think you would safely get at least 50 hrs out of it if not more. We have guys that have hundreds of hrs on the stock piston.
 
check the piston out to. i just checked mine after 12 hrs still was over spec, im just re-ringing mine
 
thanks for replys,i thought iwould check out stock one,just wondered if there was a stronger one,thanks steve
 
I have used, stock, Wiseco, Vertex, and Fast by Ferracci (which I think are made by Wiseco) pistons with no problems. Last time I checked FBF was selling pistons on ebay for $49.95.
 
thanks veg brain,im going stock i think,or wiseco,ive never done a topend so bit nervous,its running fine but i dont know how long it been in there(piston)could even be stock!
 
pull yer pipe. look at the pitson through the ex port. lemme know what ya see, snap a pif of the ex side if ya can get up in there. i replaced my stocker when it houred out but it was fine appearance wise...but still, its' cast, it was houred out, ya cant see the wrist pin, brg etc. if it's houred out dont wail on it too much to be safe. i replaced my '09 piston with a Wiseco from Motosportz and have a lot of HARD hours on it. stupid thing wont blow up! (167 kit when it does cough cough) lol...
