  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 a 2011 wr250 with a 38 air stryker and fmf gnarly. I've been riding 4 strokes till I got this bike. I'm not adjusting very well to the 2st hit. I've done some searching but seems like there is a lot to read. Without spending hours reading I just need to know what to do to smooth the power out a little.

Also the clutch drag. It seems like the bike is easy to stall in the corners even with the clutch pulled in.
 
You might want to try a flywheel weight-adding one to several of the two strokes I have owned helped tame the hit a little. As for the clutch drag make sure the clutch cable is adjusted properly-1/8 to1/4" slack at the cable end of the lever should be good I think. Try changing the trans oil, I have used shell rotella t-6 synthetic 5-40 with good results( it is oil for diesel engines but is jaso ma rated which means it is suitable for use in motorcycles with "wet" clutch systems) Good luck and I am sure others on this forum will help you out also!:thumbsup:
 
+1 for the flywheel weight. I've ridden 2T's with a flywheel weight that felt like an elecric motor. Too boring for me, but everybody's got there own like's.

Yes, agree a flywheel weight will make your bike much smoother and harder to stall. Also you can turn up the idle screw just a little[this lifts the carb slide slightly] and this will help with the stalling too.
 
As for the clutch drag? I worked on mine this weekend. Loosen the clutch cable up all the way. Lean the bike on the right side. Take the clutch cover off. In the center of the clutch you'll see a nut, and a flat head screw in the middle. Take a sturdy flat head screwdriver and hold the out side of the clutch cover. You'll see a spot to hold it on the outside of the nut. The screw driver will be at a 45 degree angle. Use a 10mm socket and break the nut loose. Take the socket off the nut, and turn the flat head in the center of the nut in until you've taken most of the slack out of the cable. Make sure it takes 4 to 5 clicks of the cable adjuster to get the correct adjustment. When you get it where you would like it, hold the outside of clutch with the screwdriver, and tighten the 10mm jam nut.

Flywheel weight for sure. There around $100 and will smooth out the hit. Also try a G2 Egronomics throttle cam system. I little pricey but will help with throttle control. I installed one on my YZ250 for racing last year and I liked the feel. Shell Rotella T is all I use. Do you have the stock pipe still? Maybe try that. I know the Gnarly on my WB165 hits like a ton of bricks!
