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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have a 2000 wr 125. yesterday fell into a river when passing a bridge and then tried to catch it and got a more.
should I do? what should I disassemble?
 
Pull the plug and flip the bike upside down and drain the motor. Change the oil and do the air filer. Ride.
 
You need to get the engine running ASAP (right now) and get it up to normal operating temp to dry it out thoroughly otherwise you will have a lowerend full of rusted bearings that will plauge you with problems down the road.
 
thanks fast1, I pull the water out and change the oil. at now the motor is stoped. Do you think have problem???
 
The way I dried out a fellow riders bike was to:

Remove the exhaust pipe and pour the water out of it.

Remove the sparkplug and kick the kickstarter until no more water came out of the exhaust port and sparkplug hole.

Remove stator cover and make sure no water was in there.

Drain the float bowl of the carburetor to remove water.

Drain the transmission of old oil and water and refill with new oil.

Make sure that there is no water left in the gas tank.

Put everything back together, and the motorcycle should be able to start in a normal fashion.
 
If it is hydro-locked you need to remove the spark plug and then turn the engine over to expel the water.

Time is important. The longer any water remains in the crankcase the more likely you will have a problem down the road with crank and rod end bearings. You need to get the engine started NOW.

This is no different than a 2 stroke jet ski engine that has been submerged. While racing them if we didn't get the engine running the same day it hydro-locked or took on water it was almost inevitable that they would develop lower end bearing issues.
 
my moto is runing very well, thanks for your precious help, without you I´m nothing!
