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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello all this is my first post on here as I have been lurking on here for a short while. I have come across an 05 WR125 here in Oz in really good nick with low mileage and was wondering if the later 08-09 upwards 144 kit will retro fit an 05 model bike ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
yes i fitted a new 144 cylinder to my 2002 cr engine in my 2007 wr125, the power valves are different so you will need them with the new cylinder.
 
The cylinders are a direct swap as jo360 said. You can either get the oem 144 or big bore your present cylinder/head. This is not rocket science and if you have a competent borer/re-liner, and a good machiniest with some porting ability then you can get this done fairly cheaply. You can pm me for details if you think you can do it yourself.
 
Thanks guys thats just what I wanted to hear. :D I'm looking into purchasing a late model 144 kit and transplanting that. Then getting a 165 kit with the original cylinder.
 
post a wanted add in the classifieds of this forum, got one from here c/w powervalves and piston with 30 minutes on the piston for $500 USD.Thanks again Nate.
