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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey every-one,I just got back from 3 days of riding my wr144 and got to really test the tires and carb out. First the tires.All I can say is I won't be buying any-thing else! I used to be a die-hard Michelin s-12 rear,m-12 front guy but I am a believer in the motoz! I rode sand,mud,rocks,roots,hard and soft dirt and even snow on my trip and they work great.Very predictable in corners and great traction every-where. I am surprised they are not more popular with other riders. Now for the carb. I rode at 3000 ft. above sea level down to 800 ft. above sea level in temps. varying from 0 degrees to 22 degrees celsius and all I had to do was adjust the idle speed a little. After finding the sweet spot with the power-jet and rod it ran liked a raped ape! Very smooth and responsive with no spooge and more power every-where including on top compared to the stock 38mm tmxx mikuni. It took a fair amount of adjusting to get it just right, but it is easy to do and worth it! I don't know where my setting on the rod is at but I am at around 2.5 turns out on the power-jet and it rips! Thanks again to every-one for their comments and suggestions:cheers:
 
Glad you finally got out. Good stuff, thanks for the report.

Tires are very subjective. People love what they love, its all good. Glad you found something that works for you. As for the carb, This seems to echo everyones findings. Its fun when something really brings a better ride experience to the table.
 
Did you notice any improvement in your fuel mileage? I've been working so much I have hav'nt been able to ride for more than an hour or so, if that, on sunday afternoons. Hard to judge it that way.
