  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 What Do I Need To Fit A 144 Kit On My Wr125

As part of a rebuild project for a wr125 with a broken cylinder head, my 144 kit will arrive next week, and im seeking advice on the correct way to do it for maximum performance/reliability.
I am new to this, and have a mechanic that will help do the swap itself, my question is
What other parts do i need to replace? Can i run the stock CDi, Carburetor with it? What does jetting practically mean and do i need to adjust it?
Is it even possible to adjust spark timing?
Thanks youre my only hope.
 
There is no CDI on the older WR's. It is an older analog ignition. Lots of flywheel weight but pretty bullet proof. You can adjust ignition timing with the stator backing plate screws. There will be timing mark on the stator plate and corresponding mark on the cases. Jetting and carburetor will be pretty close for both. The 08 WR comes with the older style TMX that works well for mid to top but can be a bit hard to jet for the bottom end if you have a lot of changing conditions.

Your kit will need to have the head, cylinder, piston kit, and power valves. Everything else will interchange with the 125. The power valves are very different between the newer 144 kit and the older style 125, but all the connecting parts are the same. The new 144 likes to have the power valve adjustment set so there is tension against the power valves keeping them closed. Search the site as there are quite a few threads on this.
