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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Finally got into my boys WR144 to see just WHAT shape she is in.
prior to my son purchasing the bike, we have NO idea how many hours are on it.
Since purchase he has put maybe 4 hours total run time.
Pump gas with NO ethanol
Amsoil at 40:1
Lectron Carb specifically for the WR from Kelly

exhaust valves are amazingly clean - no carbon, move freely etc

Cross hatch is good on the rest of the bore, but you can just feel the scoring on the exhaust side with a fingernail.
Ring end gap was right at .013


Are light seizures normal with these WRs?

Next step now is taking her out to first over and start fresh -

Thoughts?
Input?
Observations?

is it Eric Gorr time?
:cheers:

Thanx!!
