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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi freinds, this forum is great!
Can someone please tell me what is the thickness of the stock base (cylinder) gasket for wr125 '09 (the one that came originally from the factory..)??
Thanks!!
 
i also think stock was 0.5mm. i ran the 0.3mm with the 144 kit, ran great. bumped up to the 0.8mm with the 165 kit.
 
ok - take us to school on this, why the different thickness offered and how do you determine which gasket you need. Thanks
 
On the 125 - If you use a .3mm gasket you will lower the cylinder and head .2mm which increases the compression ratio
It will reduce the squish band thickness to approx. 1mm - basically the gap between the piston and head - also changes the port timing slightly so its better to get the head machined instead
but a cheap way of generally pepping the bike up a bit . You can do a solder test to get a squish band reading .
You need to watch out for detonation though
Have a look at thread index - under head mods
 
Someone knows if the Mitaka top end gasket kit comes with few base gaskets in different thickness? I can't get info about it.
