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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Flame out at green light

Its a good thing it was early in the morning as there was no one behind me. I was stopped at a red light. When it turned green, I gave it gas and it stopped like I hit the stop switch. I started it again and it idled, but as soon as I began to twist the grip, out it went. I pushed it off the road and brought it home and guess what? It started and I could rev it. Go figure. Now I don't want to go riding for fear that it will happen again. I have a JD tuner and was going to disconnect it to see if that could be the problem, but like I said when I got it home it seemed to run fine. I plan to take it to a shop that specializes in fuel injection in dirt bikes.
 
Ok so there was no actual flame out. It was just not accelerating under load. It is definately a fueling issue, if under warranty I would take it back to the dealer. if not look to reset your JD and see what happens. I am also assuming the fuel is clean and not dirty or stale.
 
I can and will do as you suggest. But the fact that since this happened, the bike seems to run fine. If it was a cracked boot or vacuum spigot cap, as you suggest, wouldn't the problem continue on a consistant basis? I appreciate your help.

You'd think that...., but many things that go wrong with these bikes can be crazy inconsistent, sometimes running OK, sometimes not, depending on air temp, humidity, just anything and everything. I think the main thing here you have to start checking all the basic, known stuff first and progress to the more exotic stuff. The way you described the bike dying when opening the throttle really sounds like an intake leak letting in waaay too much air and killing the bike. Here's my intake boot, although, I DID get it hotter than it was designed to get....
