  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 WRE 125 2000 Rectifier issue

Hi, I've recently purchased the above motorbike and it seems to have a battery charging issue. A local mechanic has diagnosed the problem as a faulty rectifier. Does anyone know of a reasonably priced after market alternative (to buying from husqvarna) that is relatively easy to fit?

Thanks in advance.

Have you checked this yourself just incase its a diff battery, easy way to check is to put A multi meter on the battery and check the voltage, then start the bike and see what happens. It should go up to around 14v when running/revved

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, measured the voltage across the battery while reving engine and no change recorded. Also measured power coming out of stator and it seems to go up to ca. 30V. Therefore I'm assuming it must be regulator/rectifier. Or maybe bad wiring somewhere?
