  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 laid the bike down unexpectedly . but now that I have fixed what I brokeand started riding again the throttle no longer snaps back to normal . what could it be and how can I fix it .my bike also has a mikuni carb with a throttle body .
 
a mate had this happen to him on an (08 i think) 450 (throttle sticking)
cables were being crushed together where they were routed between the tank and frame.
doesn't take long to get the tank off to have a look
 
The throttle tube is closed over the end of the handlebar, and when that closed-end tube gets jammed against the handlebar, the throttle will not spring back. When this happened to me, I took the throttle tube off and cut the entire end out of the tube, so that when I fell over and the handguard jammed into the handlebar, the throttle tube was no longer involved. I also used a large fender washer to kinda keep dirt from getting shoved into the open end of the throttle tube.
