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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What's the best way to get lights on a 2009 or newer WR125? I'm interested in headlight and tail/brake light.

I've seen the Polisport headlight, tail/brake lights by lots of manufacturers and people do things with small, very inexpensive LED's for headlights. Also checked out the Tusk kit minus headlight.

Is there a Husq kit?

What about wiring harness and controls? Connections to bike?

Are there any procedures in a shop manual?

I searched before writing this but found bits and pieces.

Thanks
Mike
 
your bike should have the wiring for a factory plug and play setup,all of the WR125s originally came with lights mounted on them,and you can buy the factory front light and rear led light from any major dealer,may have to call around to find one in stock....if you decide to use aftermarket,you will be changing the connections
 
US spec WR's come in XC trim, no lights installed. Up through '12 there was a "Enduro" light kit in the crate. It consisted of.... wiring harness (no switches bike running/lights on), regulator, headlight and fender top taillight. Some dealer would install the light kit on setup and some would not. Taillight was junk. My dealer always had WR's on the floor without lights. When I bought my '09, the dealer had an extra competition taillight from a TE and gave it to me as part of the deal.
 
I bought a WR250!

I was looking to buy a 125 when I wrote that post. One of them didn't have lights. All of the 125 deals didn't work out, though.

I bought a used 250 with a headlight connected to a 9 volt battery. No tail or break lights.

I bought a Rocky Mountain atv taillight/plate mount. I used the factory harness to connect everything, including the brake light with a rmatv brake switch.

However, the tail light bulb would vibrate so much I was busting a tail bulb filament every ride.

I ended up buying the ascerbis led taillight from rmatv along with a 12V battery pack because I read that led's don't like AC power.

I run the tail and brake light off the rechargeable 12V battery. I also connected an on/off switch on the handlebar to turn the tail light off when needed to save the battery.

The PO put a ktm headlight assembly on the bike. It has a weird shaped bulb that was burnt out. Local bike shop had $7 replacement bulbs that were non-ktm but fit. The filament in the bulb is still in one piece!
