  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Pre mix and gear box lube for 2013 WR125

Hey guys...the manual for my new WR125 calls for Castrol A747 for a pre mix engine oil.... Any other suggestions as the A747 is hard to find....? My local shop has Spectra SX2...

http://www.spectro-oils.com/?p=235

is this ok to run? Also the manual does not say what ratio to run for a the breaking period and for how long to run it. As well as what ratio to run after the break in period.....unless I missed this info somewhere? And for that matter it seems as though the manual for my 1999 WR250 covered servicing the bike in A LOT more detail than the 2013 WR125 manual....?

Last question for the night: what about gear box/tranny oil? local shop suggested this:

Thoughts?
 
You will get many, many different answers on these topics. What I run, and what works for me is

40:1 break-in, and normal
Use Amsoil Dominator Premix (any good oil will work fine)
Use Rotella in the gearbox. roughly $15 per GALLON at walmart.


Good luck!
 
The book actually says:

LUBRICATION
Engine .................... 4%(1:25)of oil-gasoline mix during running in; NOT LESS than 3% (1:33)when running in is over

But I'm running castrol tts in Aus

I run exactly the same and have been for years. I run the same mix in all our 2-stroke bikes, weed eaters, leaf blowers, chain saws, hedge trimmers, and pipe saws.

What I don't get is why the recommend ratio is 33:1. Thats a lot of oil.
 
Amsoil Dominator at 44:1 for me, broke it in with 40:1

Spectro SX "Clutch Saver" for the gearbox
