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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I built a '13 CR144 basket case to be a spare bike to my 300xcw.
Turns out, it's way more fun to ride than the 300!
Unfortunately, it burns through approx 1.3 gals/hr and we do 2hr hare scrambles.
Is this normal? Bike runs incredibly!
I'm not fast enough to give up 30 secs every lap to refuel.

Check float height and make sure you're not dumping gas out the overflows? Stock tank still or oversize?


My WR with a lectron gets a little better mileage than my Beta 250. WR has a 3 gallon IMS tank and can do 2 hours with plenty left over.
 
Just agreeing with the poster above me, check float level. My GasGas used to consume fuel like that (I knew it leaked from the overflow, but was to lazy to fix it (its really hard to take the carb off on that bike). I eventually took it off to change jetting (temperature change) and now both my Gasgas 250 and my Husky 125 sip fuel, I can ride 20 on 20 off MX motos all day on like 1.25 gallons of gas.
 
lil motors use LOTS of gas w/ big carbs to make big smiles. no free lunch there. Mr. Davis said: "can't fake fast"...gota burn gas to haul ass.
they also piss like a race horse on some bikes (canted, mounts, etc) according to some complaints. hose re-routes almost sort of work for "some" to save a few ounces in slow, uneven stuff but...meh.....i just pin it and keep going. if it's using fuel in the engine, it aint going out on the ground- if things are to spec. and yer flying. so- no problems there.
big time caution if you "adjust" your float. TEST it first for needle / seat sealing, then set it to spec + 0.5 - 1mm high to be safe for WFO so you dont squeak it. take an MSR bottle if ya need back up to your over-sized tank. cheaper than a new engine. easier than pushing.
