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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2013 449 questions

hi, newish owner of a 2013 449 here. Only done 150k on it in 6 months and got a couple q's.

When closing the throttle, bike continues to rev slightly above idle for a second or two. I'm finding this a bit off putting, especially coming into corners on tight single track. Is this just me? Any way to get rid of it?

Starting. It starts fine cold and hot, but when warm, eg after riding and leaving it for 1/2 hour to a couple hours, it's quite difficult to start.

Anyone have issues requiring warranty work? My warranty is half over and I've barely got 150k on it. I expect less than 500k/year. I'm debating whether to take it to the dealer for a first service (for $xxx), supposedly to ensure the warranty, when I can service it myself.

The above things are pretty minor and I'm happy with the bike overall.
 
There is a big screw on the left side of the bike by the throttle stuff. Screw that in a bit and the rpms should come down normally.

This one:

thanks. My air screw was 2 & 3/4 turns out, turned it back to 2 & 1/4. I'll see if this has an effect next ride then do a tps reset as well.
