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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Bike dies in mid-air when jumping on a track

There was a posting a ways back about someones' bike dying in mid air when going over jumps on a track .. Sounds weird but my 2010 TC250 bike does this also ...

What was the solution?

Keep both wheels on the ground

Funny ... But not so easy to accomplish on some tracks ...

It feels like it does it usually when I'm lugging the engine in 2nd gear trying to just power over a small jump outta a tight turn ...

Touch the throttle when your in mid air. Stalling bike in mid air can be very dangerous!:eek:

Thats sort of been my current workaround ... I just have to remember each time do some throttle play after I leave the lip...ESP at lower RPMs ...

Seems like it could be the CARB but not sure ... I just remember someone way back there saying they had this same issue ..
 
I had this happen and it sent me to the hospital. LOOK AT YOUR AIR BOOT (between the carb and motor), tug back and down to see if there's a crack in your boot. My problem was when i hit a jump hard the G-out force would cause a gap to open up and the air sucked in would lean and cut the motor out.

I dealt with this and had it in 2 shops, Theye all did little things at big costs ant it never fixed it. We figured it out on the trail during a 150 mile ride. Packed in some putty and made it back.

Good luck with it. Inexpensive part to replace if it turns out to be that.

Hey lads, could be something as simple as standing on the rear brake slightly when leaving the up ramp, causing the motor to stall because the back wheel stops.... I actually started doing this when I fitted a set of oversize pegs on the 449 causing me, without really knowing it, to rest my toes on the brake lever.... Took me a few rides to adjust my feet again to prevent this occurring =)

Exact same thing happened to me when I got a new set of riding boots. An adjustment of the brake pedal sorted it out.
