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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2010 TC250 engine issue

I'm having an issue with my TC250, seems like a decomp problem to me...or I hope it is.

Started fine in the morning, then it stalled and would not start again. Pulled it around and got it to start on compression. Sounded a little noisy, but otherwise ran fine although a bit slow/rough reving. Stalled again later on...but now the kick will not move down.

Nothing went passed the filter on this bike, ever. Oil changed every ride. Is there a known decomp issue or somthing on these 250fs?


thanks
 
okay. that's good.

pull the spark plug out and see if it will kick over then.

Do not force the kickstart lever just push it with your hand.

If it moves then it might be a decompressor issue.

if it does not...then take off the ignition cover and try to turn the flywheel with a 17mm wrench. drain the oil 1st or lay the bike on it's side.

if it does then the kickstart might be jammed.

Then report back and we'll go further.

don't jump on the kickstart or force it to turn.

You will find out what is up.
 
Only had time to check the oil filter....looks bad, lots of metal in the filter and it was brand new. Looks like I'll have to send it out for a tear down. I have a feeling its a bottom end failure now.
 
Yep, bottom end failure. Possibly because a defective stator that shred its cassing and sent metal in the engine.
 
sorry to hear of your problems with the bike, if it is a defective stator like they think will husky cover the repair?

What do you mean "shred it's cassing"?

The filter systems on this motor are pretty good....any stator shavings should be caught in the screen or at least the filter.

Did you take the stator cover off?
 
The stator ''exterior'' is shredding pieces...not common I'm told.

As for waranty, the bike has around 120hrs and 2 years old, so I'm out of warranty for sure. It's been an OK bike, chassis is mint. The engine will be expensive but the bike will be like new when done. I'll put another 50-60hrs on it as a spare bike then trade it in. I have 2 sons, one is on a 125 and the other will be on a big bike soon. So this will be a good spare for all.

This bike has always coughed up shavings in the oil, I should of went deeper to see what was what.

What internal engines failures were caused by the stator failure?
