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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

HI all,

I currently ride 09 TE510 but looking at something lighter and easier to ride on singletrack.

There is 09 WR125 with 144cc Eric Gorr engine for sale in my area, and seller claims it's street legal. Bike under $3k and I am really thinking about it. I mean last time i rode 2 smoker was 15 years ago.. so I have few questions..

1. is this a good deal? bike has 15 hours on it.
2. what to watch out for when purchasing 2 stoke bike?
3. will my Sumo set up from TE 510 fit on WR 125???? :)

any general suggestions or comments are welcome!

thanks!!!

Hi, We sold a set of husky OEM supermoto wheels like you have to a guy to run on his 2009 WR 125 and he was using them the next day.
The eric gorr 144 kits sometimes require some power valve grinding that if it isn't done will wear out the top end early. The performance also suffers. That being said there is lots of info on here about walts power valve repair which he started after his eric gorr 144 kit ate his first piston. Contact walt and find out what is involved, it is super easy to work on the husky 125. The price will depend on condition of course. Good luck, Motosportz Mike.
 
I suppose if it has a plate on it in your state you can get a plate for it. Street legal really needs a definition. Are you going to be running directional signals horn mirror hi beam indicator, dot approved muffler and tires? I doubt any lights will work without the engine running. Depending on who pulls you over the outcome may be different, just so long as it is registered and insured probably will suffice most of the time if you weren't doing something silly. The certificate of origion I would bet has off highway use only on it but it is often not seen at motor vehicles. It can vary by state what is allowed. I also think the manual, I have manuals for earlier years, tells you not to operate it at steady speeds. Basically has a paragraph that essentially says this is not a street bike it is for racing on the throtle and off the throttle. As for the wheels I have read on here the offset of the chain is different two cycle vs four cycle but perhaps Mike above knows otherwise or some of the day before riding was playing around with a sprocket hanger.
 
09 WR125 has the same sprocket offset as the 4 strokes. I know a few guys who have ran TC wheels on WR/CR125 2009. That used to be the case but changed in 04/05 ish??
 
125s that have been rode on the street are a bad idea. yes fun around town BUT the cranks will NOT last long at all if rode for very long down the street, id never buy one that was street legal myself.
