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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

(Its the EXP 3.0, which I believe is all that's available as of now. Super easy install. Clutch pull is very stiff with the included springs but I did a 55 mile ride that was mostly single track and rock hopping (see McCain Valley, Ca) and I never needed to pull it. Only time I did was out of habit. You can easily start bike in gear and I mostly used 2nd gear, so Im going to gear the bike back up now. Pulls hard in all gears, hard to keep front end down through 4th. HANDS down the best mod I have ever installed on a dirtbike. Made me not think twice about forgoing an electric start Te300 for more than twice the price...)


That's great news. It's definitely going to be my next purchase for the WR. I'm guessing that it's also the answer to the dreaded clutch drag that I have ( and that WR250's have a reputation for)? My bike is geared fairly high right now. With being able to lug around better with the exp 3.0, I'm thinking that I'll leave it geared high as u mentioned. Thanx.

Yes, the drag is what really made me get one. I'm so used to two-finger clutching a bike in and out of turns, but unfortunately my WR300, like your 250 probably, you have to have the lever against the grip to finally get disengagement which I couldnt do and still hang on to the beast. You'll be happy with the EXP 3.0 regardless of how you ride.-
 
I was talking to Ryan about his Z start pro that's for sale in the classifieds. He's offering me a very fair price. Should I go for it? Is it easy to install?
 
So, which would be better for tight and rough trail riding? I'm looking to be able to lug around in the tight stuff. Z start pro, or exp 3.0?
 
I bought an 09 wr250 this past spring that had a z start pro already installed. 1st serious ride was at pennsyl rocky dual sport in june ( I usually ride south jersey pines). I felt like a hero and never rode better.

I'm excited to ride rocks again. Super light clutch pull.

Buy it, you'll like it.
 
Terrence, the 3.0 and ZSP are both well suited for slow, tight, rough and nasty trail conditions. I've used both types in those conditions on my wr 300. Since I rely on slipping the clutch at the lever to meter power w/a constant throttle (vs. chopping the throttle then getting back on it, which can cause unwanted wheel spin) I could barely pull in the clutch 2 to 3 hrs into a long ride or enduro using the 3.0. So out it went and in w/the ZSP, which allows me to easily work the lever no matter how gassed I am. Rekluse told me the 3.0 is more for the trail oriented rider that doesn't mind not using the clutch lever whereas the ZSP is better suited to the more aggressive and race types out there. If you get the 3.0 through a dealer or direct from Rekluse you can always return it to Rekluse w/in 30 days if you don't like. Then you could try the ZSP for about $200 more, which for me was well worth the extra $. You're riding will change for the better no matter which one you go with!
