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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

You probably have gotten some feed back on this topic, maybe not. I've been running an 09 450txc and still have not solved the carb problems. It is difficult to get the bike to fire up during a ride. Whether it's stopping for a break/breather or stalling in the tight rocky sections, the bike just wont start unless the hot start is turned on. It's been hard to get any good answers to solve this. This is what I've done with so-so answers.
I have added a remote hot start that helped out in a huge way. Especially in the tight stuff where the bike stalls out every so often.
Zipty racing was tough to deal with (reluctant) and suggested to change the low speed jet to a 42. (stock is 45) This helped for a minute but for whatever reason it still didn't cure the bike from having problems starting/stalling in the tight stuff. I switched back to the stock jet (45) and picked up a R@D racing power bowl 2. This cleaned up the jetting A LOT. The bike really likes the top end / and to be revved higher, working better. The bike is still hard to start after stops on the trail or stalling in the tight stuff.
The Suspension:
I had Earl Schuler do his thing with it. It was a fair price and is noticeably better than stock.
Good luck.
