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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Is JD jet kit for '09 TXC 250 a given?

New to the forum and brand new to a 2009 TXC 250! From what I've read, the general impression seems to be the '09 TXC has a pretty big bog stock. In my limited experience, the bike does seem to have difficulty in low rpms including warming up to idle. Cold-choke start is required and even after several minutes the bike does not idle confidently. Have most txc owners out here used the JD jet kit? Is that mod a given at this point? I'm new to all of this (re-entering motorcycling) and don't want to make issue where there is none. Also, if I were to go forward with the JD kit, would a newbie (yet mechanically inclined) individual be fine following the instructions in the kit? Thanks in advance!

Thanks David. It seems worth the time and expense to realize the benefit of their expertise.

Any other standard mods or insights you'd like to share with a new owner?

Cheers,
Simon
