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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Lectron on a TE/SM 610 4 Stroke

I looked into putting a carb on the 08 610 that I bought new. The short story is that I bought an 07 that came with a carb from BMP and Bill sold my 08 for me. Total cost of carb conversion for a new bike with 285 miles was the 200$ that he charged for commission. Thanks again Bill:)
There are many differences between carbed and EFI; wiring harness, ECU, flywheel etc.
The carb that Lectron set up fit like a glove and was tuned very well . I put the carb on my carbed 05 TE450 first just to see how it would run and was very impressed.
The jetting between a 450,510 and 610 is very close.
 
Do you remember what metering rod was in the carb? I bought a used 40mm Lectron from a member on TT that had it on his 610. He's selling the bike, so he was putting the stock carb back on. The rod in it now is marked 4-2M3. According to Lectron's website, the newer rods are all N-NXL; with the N's ranging from 1-4.
Since it was set up and running well on a 610, any suggestions for base settings on my 450?

Thanks!
