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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE/TC Jd kit in. Question re idle set screw starting

AA Class
Just installed my jd kit with blue needle at 3rd vs 2.5 clip position w the recommended 30 pilot (wow...was running a 35) and 420 main(was running 430). Bike was still a taad in rich side from plug readings and looking forward to seeing change. Question.....I also grabbed the sweet idle and air screws from tusk. What would all recommend I start the idle screw out at. Air screw is set to 1.5 turns out. It’s wavering on freezing temps here so this bike will sit in the garage for season while parts get added to it for next season but curious to know if there is a standard idle setting for this screw?0352425A-C6F3-43DC-A790-4049F7402FEF.jpeg
 
AS per JD as long as the tusk screw is machined the same tolerances as the OEM Mikuni screw. As for Idle OEM calls out 1400-1500 rpm, check pages 99-100 for idle adjust.
PS my opinion of TUSK products is way less than ideal.....cheap/low quality materials+ cheap manufacture=cheap parts. look cool but less than ideal alloy, at least on my YZ125 shifter that promptly stripped on the spline shaft. I just bought and installed the high quality OEM Yamaha forged shifter.

Hmm..well Rocky Mountain ATV is pretty amazing at customer service in the event this doesn't work as one would expect it to. JD doesn't state the idle only the air screw which i turned to the recommended 1.5. I'm appreshensive to putting gas into the beast as i want a fresh carb come spring time...I have an 11 KTM 250 XCF I'm punishing right now :)
