  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Service manual? What how to compression test?

Husqvarna
Pro Class
2000 CR125.

So I tested the compression, I figure since it is a 2 stroke I should just kick it over as fast/hard as I could repetitively until the compression peaks right? Is this the correct procedure? I did it with the tank off but fuel still in the carb so fuel = oil so no need to oil the cylinder when checking?

I spoke to the previous owner he never did a top end but doing the method above it peaked at 180psi. Is this okay for a 125cc? It runs fantastically and rips like no other but seems like the plug is quite dark/rich. But it may have had too rich of premix or poor quality premix in it before.

At what psi should I think of replacing the rings/piston?

Also is there a service or workshop manual for a bike this old? I mainly interested in the parts on engine disassembly assembly and trouble shooting any electrical (for the future).

Thanks yall.
