  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Selecting the right piston for the 144 kit

Fellow husky enthusiast's, motorcycle newbie in need for help.
This week I installed a new OEM 144 husky kit (8000H2995) in my bike, it is hella-fun even before fine tuning it.
The piston didn't come in a box, but i believe it was a 8000H1135 as it is part of a husky kit.
My question is, when time comes, what piston will i replace it with?
I saw the thread about the yz piston and modifying it, but i seem to have found a website that will still sell the 8000H1135, but i dont understand what sel a/b/c/d are (8000H1135/1 or /2 etc)
What are the differences between sizes? I think my piston was sel A as it had a little A on the top as in image. (Not sure if that's what it means.
Thanks in advance.
Walt i concidered contacting you via email with this but thought maybe someone else in this galaxy might have the same question.

There is about a 10th of a thousandth between each size. You can pick the one you had before. The size is often stamped on the crown of the piston. If you still have the wrappings from the piston, the part number sticker should also have the letter at the end of the part number.
 
Thats the issue, it came without wrappings and i didnt really measure the piston or look for stampings but im guessing the A in the center of the piston is the marking for that (like in the pic i added)

I have a 144 kit also. I haven't installed it yet, but wanted to be sure that I had at one extra piston for it, if I did install it. Though it came with an A piston, I ordered a B for the spare, as the difference is very small....just my reasoning that there will be a tiny bit of cylinder wear...but that's just me.
 
If you don’t mind me asking , Where did you get the 144 piston or where did you see it available? I also have a WR 144 that’s probably going to be in need of a top end soon. Thanks
