  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Vapor digital gauge for my husky

Are there any Vapor gauges that will show RPM, Speed, Temperature and km distance? And are there any that will fit my Husqvarna SMS125 '02? Is it plug and play?
 
I'm wanting to do the same thing on my 2002 WR125. Trailtech's website only shows the Vapor back to 2005 bikes. And Amazon.com shows it as "not compatible" on my 2002.
However, I called Trailtech today and the tech guy said that they will work and the model to use is 752-700 (that's the black one). Still, I'm a little nervous to pull the trigger and also curious if anyone else is running one on a pre-2005 125 or similar?
 
There is nothing special that happened in 2005 that would make it not work. The units are not "plug and play" per se, you need to connect them to the battery, run the coolant temp wire and sensor yourself, run the RPM wire, and sometimes you need to run the speedo wire. It's all really easy stuff.

Thanks for that info... I figured as much, as read up on that in the installation instructions online. My WR does not have a battery but the Vapor appears to not require a 12volt battery to operate... Still trying to confirm that.
 
The Vapor will run off the internal battery, or it will run off the bike's power, AC or DC, over a very wide voltage range. This info should all be on the spec sheet.
 
UPDATE:

I've installed the Vapor (#752-700) on my '02 WR125. Works great! I haven't hooked it up to the WR's power yet, as some of the bike's wiring was modified from a previous owner and I'm trying to make sure I don't fry the Vapor by hooking up something worng. If you run the Vapor off it's own battery, the screen's backlight turns off after a short delay and the 2 LED light (indicator lights for max RPM & Temp I believe) don't funtion on the unit (according to Trail Tech). The digital RPM indicator also maxes out due to high reving 2-stroke. But as it is, I'm very happy with it. Any suggestions on how to tap into the bike's electrical for a power source would be great! (This is my first 2-stroke / battery-less bike, so I'm still learning).

PS - sorry to hack the thread, just trying to help contribute information...

High-revving twostroke? All modern fourstrokes rev higher. What is it "maxing out" at?!

The gauge maxes at 12K. It appears to hit the max pretty easy. Maybe I need to change a setting in the vapor to read rpm / tach signals differently? Still learning the Vapor and the WR... :)
