  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 is up with these fuel tanks???

I wanted to up the size of my 02 cr 165 fuel tank, pn 88862, which is listed as 8.5L, so I bought the 88877 wr tank on ebay, which is supposed to be 11.2L. WELL, my trouble is, I measured the capacities side by side and they both hold the exact same amount...about 9.3L. Anyone have any experience with this? The tanks have slightly different shapes.
 
The WR should be significantly taller around the filler neck section. It's the tank they use on the 00-05 WR250.
 
Yup, I did the same thing. Bought a wr tank for my 02 cr250. Same thing. Ended up buying a used IMS off the board here.
 
Yes, the wr tank is taller, but doesnt hold an ounce more fuel that I can see. I am going to try the fuel tank expansion trick with the new tank, otherwise I just threw away my money. Very dissapointing and hard to understand why they would spec two tanks with same capacity like that.:thumbsdown:
 
As a follow up, I decided to try and expand the capacity of my wr tank using hot water and compressed air. Although I did not get all the expansion I wanted, I did manage to raise the capacity from about 9.3L to 10.6L, which is 2.8 gallons. This is still not the advertised capacity of this tank, but it's better than I had before and better than the newer bikes stock tanks.
