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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2009 TE 250 new to me question

Great message board.

Just purchased a 2009 TE250 with 20 miles on it. Looks like the power up? Has been done to the bike. Smog, air filer, ect. What is my break in period (oil change, valve clearance ect.)with the bike? Other good ideas would be very helpful.

Gracious,

Greg
 
That bike may have been manufactured in Oct 2008, so it has been around for 5 years and only has 20 miles on it, I'd be changing the oil before riding it, then changing it after 100 miles of hard riding, keep the air moving across the rads, accelerate with 3/4 throttle thru all the gears, no speeds less than 30 MPH, cruise at 50 for a while , then do some acceleration stuff.

Don't stop to cool the bike down out in the boonies. Do a loop and stop at home. Many low mileage, high age bikes have a sludge build up in the fuel pump that will cause the pump to lock up when heated up.
 
I agree and would also put some quality FI cleaner in the fuel-there would be some moisture build up not to mention possible injector gumming.
Bet the steering head bearings, linkage and swing arm still have the original factiry veneer of grease on the bearings. Get them donw soon. Maybe get the suspension tuned for your weight and riding style.
Good Luck-great bike
 
Thanks for the info. During my first ride I did what you said about keeping the RPMs up and going through the gears, the engine died several times when coming to stop lights. My guess it could be the fuel pump, injectors, ect. I'm going to put some sea foam ( injector cleaner)in my next tank of gas. Lots of fun though:-).

Typical for new motor to stall. Question this after 500 miles. Check the rear brake line to see if it is rubbing on the cases. If so then loosen bolt and rotate away. Keep an eye or add heat tape on the air box where the mid pipe comes close. Non-PU motors will melt here. Make sure the batter is strapped down... add another strap if you ride aggressive as the battery will pop out and rip the air filter. Some early models still had fuel pump loosen in tank. I would pull pump and check to see if the ty-wraps are good and tight. Tape the spark plug wire to cap connections as this will short out when water hits it. D-e-electric grease ALL connections! Send out suspension to be revalved for you unless you are A class racer.

I have sitting in my garage a JD tuner for a 2010 TE310 which should be the same for your bike. Interested let me know.
