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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi all,
Im new to this forum & Husky, particularly new to 4 stroke.
Ive always been a 2stroke rider, had my KTM 360 for years and has served me well, however ive recently bought an 06 te450 and do like the feel & rider friendliness.
It's a missile when I get it on the main, (wot), it starts & idles fine hot or cold, it's just in between, im getting to the needle I suppose, I feel it should be pulling harder than it does
Plug is a good color.
Is the JD kit & screw worth the $$
 
I bought the JD kit for my 2009 510 with Keihin FCR42 carb. My bike had a cough/stall issue off idle or when whacking the throttle.
Tuning the pilot circuit fixed my issue.
I found the bike lacked power when the fuel screw was wound in too far (too lean on pilot circuit). It also got hot.

Doing the AP mod (accelerator pump) with an oring on the screw helps throttle response too.

I suggest:
- do the AP mod
- get an adjustable fuel screw so you can tune "on the go"
- open up your carb and check pilot jet size and leak jet size. Google baseline settings and optimise

The JD kit is worth the money. It has instructions for the AP mod and a few different jets.


In my opinion, a good indicator that the pilot circuit is tuned properly is when the bike starts 1-2 kicks with choke when cold and hot start pulled when warm (not using elec start).
