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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Any of you guys running a hotter plug?

Hey guys,
Just doing a run-through of my new to me '06 WR250 and realized that it had a BR6 instead of the BR8 that comes stock. Does the hotter plug cure any fouling issues? Is there any reason I shouldn't go back to the recommended heat range? Bike seems to run great but it's a b@$%# to start sometimes. Might have to drop the pilot jet a size and see what that does. Or the correct heat range may solve that problem and maybe the previous owner didn't know what he was doing! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
 
A hotter plug is a poor bandaid for a problem that needs fixed in my opinion.

Check and clean the grounds at the coil and put dielectric grease on all electrical connections.

I had similar symptoms on my 125, hard starting when cold and then it started fouling plugs out of the blue. It fouled 4 plugs in 50 miles.

Cleaning up the grounds has fixed the problem, no plug issues in the last 100 miles and it is back to starting 1-2 kicks cold.

Later,
