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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE/TC Drilling holes in airbox cover

I have a 14 TC250. Been reading that the airbox air flow is restricted because of the sub-frame. I bought a few of the little uni-filter 1" filtered hole grommets to try and see if it improves the performance. Anyone else try this yet?

I also have installed a 38mm carb from a 125. Now that made a significant improvement to the performance.
 
hey, I am looking forward to your observation of the added air flow. I still run the 36 carb, 40 pilot, 3 clip needle and 165 main. It is a bit more top end rev, but still has the bottom and mid of stock; I still like the stock jetting my bike came with though, too. 0 issues.
 
I've read about that mod but I'd be concerned about all the dust. They did it on the number plates if I remember right

Air still has to go through the air filter no matter if it comes through one hole or 50 holes.

Yeah I know your right. I just figured the only major change between a husky and KTM he's about to drill holes in :).

Either way, test it for us. You're a good guinea pig for when I get mine :)
 
One more thing to add about the carb swap. If you do go to the 38mm, you need to run a 40 pilot, 175 main, a Suzuki NECJ needle on the 3rd clip and use the slide from the 36mm carb. The guy who originally figured this out, Digger29, says if you run the above carb and put the V-force reeds it will make a huge difference. I haven't swapped the reed cage out yet.

These settings work great for MX. I know must of the guys here are enduro types so you might be happy with what you have.

Did your lap times go down with the added performance?

I haven't clocked the times yet but my friend has a bone sock bike just like mine. You can really tell the difference between the two. I'd compare it to adding an aftermarket exhaust pipe to a Yamaha yz250 its that good.
 
Dick's racing taper bores it to 39 if I remember right. Sounds like an awesome mod with all the tests I've read on the 250sx's over the past couple years. You're kind of past that point though, figured I'd write it down here so other people see some options.

I figured you've seen that thread. I've read it a ton now. Not much out there for TC builds. After you're testing the air box mod. I need you to test nekken triple clamps, 300 kit, zip-Ty suspension, the husky parts blue hubs, akrapovic exhaust, and a factory services 6 spd transmission. Feel free to add to the list :)
 
LOL, Well, the 300 kit might be doable:D . I installed the Factory Connection Oil Control Rings in the forks to stop them from bottoming and they work very well. The KTM cone forks would be nice to have but I think they cost more than the bike did. Speaking of that, I see RT&T in Muskogee has the 14 TC250's for $5999 out the door. A good deal on a great bike IMHO.

I'd called them. If you email them requesting it they'll add you to the email list. I'm on the list because I'm a member at ktmtalk. Which you could join and be enrolled

COULD YOU TAPER BORE A LECTRON?? WHAT ABOUT ONE OF THOSE QUAD FLOW TORQUE WINGS:thinking:
Click to expand...
I'm only assuming but getting more performance out of the Lectron would ruin the awesome fuel mileage and smooth throttle response. I'd ask Motosportz about it. He'll know probably better then anyone here
 
you think? were just messin with the air flow downstream from the needle iv never heard of a decrease in MPG from those mods:excuseme: Kelly o great purveyor of Lectrons what are your thoughts:confused:

Well I guess that makes sense then. Air flows never bad. I'm the kind of guy waiting for fuel injected 2 strokes :)
