  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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,
I've a 2006 450TE and was working great, went out this morning to start it up for a ride with the guys it started on the choke 1st time then after a couple of minutes died?

Now the bike turns over but just wont fire, changed the plug... nothing?

Any idea guys...

Well... the first place I would look would be the fuel/carb. My 2006 TE250 is acting up as well (start, then will not run unless I am super careful about the choke & accelerator pump) and I need to clean the carb on it.
 
Bad news, i've took of the stator cover and the timing chain has snapped. The bike was just ticking over when it went, will start to break it down to see what damange is done....
God knows what I will find?

:-(
 
I hope it is not too much of an issue for you good luck.
I think my favourite husky was my 06 450. it was just a great performer and never missed a beat. Get it sorted and enjoy,
 
Well guys sorry for the slow reply been away onhols and work is manic at the moment, got to the bottom of it as I took of the sator cover and nticed the timing chain had snapped :eek: and found a alloy washer with teeth marks in it?
Stripped it all down and would you belive it i got away with no damage and after a full de-coke, top end head gaskest set, oils and filter my 450 is up and runnng again. As for the washer it was from one of the head bolts and whoever had the bike before me dropped it in the block and left it.

All done now and ready to ride.... thanks for the feedback.
