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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2004 TE250 Runs fine until warmed up

My TE has a rough running problem. The first time it happened I thought it was running out of gas. It will start fine and run fine until it is thoroughly warmed up. Then it starts to sputter and surge like crazy. Even on a flat area it'll surge while I'm holding the throttle still (or trying to). It makes going up hills a real challenge because I never know if it will bog down or pull the front wheel...

The bike is stone stock. I've cleaned out the carb (off bike) twice and this always comes back. I'm thinking carb/jetting, but could this be an ignition problem?

Any help appreciated.
 
Does it have a fan?
Is it overheating?
My bike, when it overheats, it has symptoms similar to what you are describing.

I would replace the spark plug first thing.
 
Has it sat up for a time, did you clean the jets with a piece of copper wire? If the jets have a coating of build-up inside them, making them, essentially, a smaller size, the bike will run hotter.
 
Brad in StL Did you ever determine the issue?? My 2004 TE250 is experiencing the EXACT same issues. Carb has been cleaned several times, I even changed jetting and carb set up, new spark plug, good gas, etc.... nothing has solved it. I REALLY need some help on this one!!
