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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

g'day, i have recently bought a 96 wr 250, 1st 2 stroke ive owend. was told it had new cylinder, piston, rings, and crank seals. 1st ride since rebuild went good, no problems. seconds ride i had a shit load of problems starting it. pulled carby off and give it a clean. started no worries. went for a ride and it was like the bike would not hit powerband, it would just bog down until you change gears, was blowing a lot of smoke, then all of a sudden it just started blowing black smoke and burning transmission oil through exhaust. i stopped riding straight away. bike was still running and had plenty of compression.
any ideas as to why it would not hit band, and if i blew crank seal when she started blowing black smoke, if crank seal, would it still have plenty of compression? thanks in advance
 
Yes it sounds like you sucked a crank seal. I would check for a clogged muffler as well. I would just repack it since new packing is about 7 dollars.
