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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
If your out 2.5 on air then next move would be to lean it out on needle a bit so you can come back in on Airscrew. lower needle (raise clip) leaner. Raise needle (lower clip) richerbrought air screw out 2 1/2 from 1, pv set 1 turn in from flush, red needle still at 3. runs way better, still a very little stumble when cracking throttle. Ill drop the clip to 4 to lean it a bit more. Im on the right track, thank you!
Actually red is not smoother... Just make it Pipey like an old school 2 stroke... Greg hold p/v open longer which gives more torque and smooths transition out

I have one on my 2015 300 xcw. Very awesome. I like to ride a lot and I know nothing about jetting and am not interested in fiddle farting with jetting when I could be riding. My 2 cents wrth.Has anybody tried the Lectron on the new bikes? Just curious if they work as good on the new stuff.
Order the NECJ and 168 main jet.
Finally got bike set up properly. Riding sea level to 400m , 17 - 25 * celcius
Main jet = 168
Needle = NECJ ( Suzuki ) on 3rd clip
Pilot = 35
AS = 1.75 out
Green PV Spring
Haha, that is exactly the same carb specs as I am running, I have the red spring in with the pre load 1.5 turns in from flush. Same slight indication of oil at the exhaust, and runs like a weapon! NECJ for the win!!

Did have a 165 & NECJ on 2nd clip but was to lean , no sputter when opening throttle but when riding & closing throttle would sometimes have a slight hanging idle & no oil out exhaust pipe at all, also felt like it lost some power.
Now on 168 & 3rd clip it is like a completely different bike to above , still no sputter when opening throttle & no sputter when holding constant throttle for constant rpm, super smooth power from idle right through the rev range, can labour uphill in 2nd just off idle & smooth, she even sounds different , really crisp sounding. Has a slight bit of oil showing out pipe which I reckon is good & no hanging idle now . Awesome setup now, took some fine tuning & learning but I can now determine wether a bikie running lean or rich & adjust as needed . Happy days !

You're running a different needle, different bike, different rider, possibly different power valve spring and pipe so I wouldn't be comparing to others, just go by what runs best for you.Hi guys new TE300 user here from the UK
This is what is on my 2015 TE300 from last owner:
Pilot: 35
Main: 178
Needle: N8RG 3rd clip
Air screw 1.75 out
Bikes seems to run ok but the only issue I have is road work it doesn't give a steady throttle any ideas?
Also my main jet seems a lot bigger than what you guys are running what would you reccomend here in the UK about 400m
Its just tapered to clean up the jetting as throttle rolls on. Im sure there is more technical explainatation, alot of guys use necj or nedj one is half clip leanerCan somebody explain the diff in the above mentioned Suzuki needle as compared to stock? I run similar elevation to the above people running Suzuki needle, I just ordered one to check it out. What the neck, $12 experiment. Will jet same as above and give it a go.

The very last page explains the needle letters and numbers, the rest of the pages, if you have the time to read them, will help you better understand tuning.
