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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc How to tame my WR250

You are more than welcome. Least I can do for all the great help enjoyed from the generous members of the forum.
 
thanks from me too

Just on the lowering compression option - extra base gasket just wondering if anyone has done this ?
I am mainly trying to make my 300 easier to kick
 
I do use 3 Base gaskets...
This will lower compression but also do alter Port timing and make your engine revs more...

Hmmm...interesting. I'm about to do piston rings on my 300 and have a few extra base gaskets. So far I was just going to do the rings, replace the same gasket, then if she still kicks and starts hard try retard the timing. I could have a squish issue, but not sure I want to decrease compression or change port timing :confused:
 
When i was rebuilding my engine i saw the Transfer Ports not fully open with only 1 Base gasket. As i m a 125 rider f more than 15 years i decided to take away some bottom end power an adding some overrev instead.
 
If its got a .5mm gasket I was only thinking of adding a .3mm or another .5mm gasket

I spoke to someone at a ride a while back who new someone in Brisbane that does decompression head conversions ( like on the 360 ) but I don't know who that was
 
If you add a lot of base gasket thickness I d say you'd need to get the head machined to correct a too thick squish band or it will be harder to jet correctly
 
From another post
"don't get too bogged down a couple mm BTDC and try it if it seems flat advance it, if it sounds aggressive and or pings retard it"
I'm thinking 1mm at a time

You got a spare head an a few hundred i will make you a decomp head.
But its a 250 you dont need one!

Often thought of trying to fit a decomp head to the 360 but after looking at the work required in welding and polishing...might spend the dollars on maintenance.
 
I got one sat on my shelf doing sweet FA
Its got chainsaw decomp in it and a 10mm sparky thread, if you find an auto decomp with 10mm thead then your off.
