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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Heloooo everyone. I got my wre 125 back after two months of it being in the garage. It's now got a new oil pump, air filter, vertex piston I think, cleaned carb and up sized jets as it's got a full dep pipe on it now. I got told to run or break it in for 400/500 miles, but that seems a bit high to me, I've done 100 miles on it already, warming it up for 5/6 mins before pulling away, never letting it rev high enough to open powervalve, only up to 40 mph in fourth gear. Seems a lot looser than it was when I first got it back, guessing I've done 8 to 10 hours on the new top end. I didn't ask the guys at the garage about it but I've read the ktm exc and sms husky's can have upwards of 30 hp when they are tuned up, not as much as the wr or the cr but still more than the 15 hp they supposedly come out the factory with [wre's are around that new I am told] So, does anyone have any idea how much power my engine would have, and at the back wheel, even rough figures, and how long should I really break the top end in for?280420131147.jpg
 
you've got 8 to 10 hours on it

In my opinion its broken in for the last 7 hours already

check your plug if it is not to lean and go for it

I would not know what a de restricted WRE would make in HP but close to 30 would be fair I guess.

Enjoy your ride.

I agree with R-J

Two heat cycles, one easy ride, varying the speed and load, and it's broke in. Your bike was broke in 80 miles ago.
 
did what you all said, been riding it hard for three more hours now, WAY more fun when the powervalve opens :D is it normal to get loads of spoogey black oil out the pipe over the swingarm? Because my standard pipe never did that
 
You have a new oil pump it might that the setting is to rich
better to rich then to lean but when it getting in the crazy amount try to tweak a bit on the oil pump till it is acceptable

Awesome news Gaz****************************************! A derestriced WRE is good fun isnt it?? When i rebuilt my top end i run it in for 50 miles changing up before the power valves opened and also letting it warm up for a good 5-10 mins( i still let it warm up for that time even after 2000 km's) and then started giving it stick......i found that after about another 100km's it got a little faster and more responsive, if you haven't already and don't need the top end so much stick a 50tooth rear sprocket on it and enjoy the acceleration :cheers:
 
it was derestricted when I first got it two years ago but the dep pipe makes it so much better, it's done about 20 hours now and going so well! I always warmed it up and still do, like I idle and blip for 6 mins, pull away, then ride slow for 2/ 3 miles before giving it power, the mechanic said that's why so many two strokes give in because people cold ride them hard. I think my gearing atm is perfect, I can hold 60 easily in 5th then get up to 80 in 6th, but my chain sprockets are a year and a half old now, so I found this kit from my cagiva w8, I only used it for like, a week? It says its a 39 back tooth and it's got 13 on the front so I dunno what that;ll be like if it fits. 50 tooth rear, wouldn't that mean higher top end or am I doing that backwards?? anyway I just took it out for 20 miles, kept up with a bandit 600 around the country lanes :D he went around the speed bumps I went over them :D how fast do you reckon yours does 0 to 60 and what's the top end??
 
39 rear tooth sprocket**************************************** thats very small ( the smaller the rear sprocket the better the top end but you loose acceleration)
Mine will sit nicely at 60mph but i have had 83mph but thats screaming it lots****************************************! (i only have a 5 speed box on mine :( )
Awesome stuff**************************************** 0-60 i'd say somewhere around 5 secs ( not timed it as such just counting in my head.......i can just about manage to count to 6 so all's good lol) top end......i didn't want to push it any more than 135kph (83 mph ) as it was screaming lots!!!
As for the 2t oil.........the one i use is Putoline MX5 its about £11 a ltr but i won't scrimp on oil, also i've found my WRE prefer's normal unleaded rather than the V power i was running it on as it is smoother through the rev range.
