  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 have 14 wr300 and it has a knock at higher rpm's. I ride alot of single track in 1st and 2nd gear so i wind out the gear pretty high sometimes, when i do i get a single "knock" sometimes. Its not a consistant knock like gear issue or bearings. the jetting is good a little on the rich side. I was thinking maybe something with the powervalve. Has anyone had this noise?

thanks pat
 
If I dont have good fresh gas mine will knock under heavy load. Not race gas just fresh premium Shell pump gas. Stock bike and its a 250.
 
I find the more i ride the more weird worrying noises i hear so far all it comes down to is 2strokes bash out strange noises had a detonation sound on high rpm's but i rev harder it disappeared anyhow it was piston slap so that whent when i canged the slug, 14plate bike i should hope the slugs good for a while longer yet tho.

Keep an ear out for it if it gets worse start worrying otherwise go ride it.

i hear ya i drive myself crazy with worrying about noises. Im guessing you ment plug when you said "slug" haha
 
No bad its just another term wich some people use it my make a few more of posts understandable now.
 
Remove the reeds and look at the intake side of the piston. If the intake port has worn grooves on the rear piston skirt then it's time to change the piston before it breaks and screws everything up.

I finally got time to look at my piston, and it looks good so I took my left side power valve cover off and looked at that. I will probably just ride it and enjoy.

That looks about like mine did at about 200 hours. It's worth checking at least every year because once it starts to wear it will go fast. I think the 250s are much more reliable than the 300s in respect to piston wear on the intake side.
