• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 YZ85?

Chasing some other opinions on getting a Lectron carb for my partners YZ85.

Her bike is a 2010 model which she's had since new, and has always been on the rich side for as long as I've known her (2 and a bit years). It's probably due for a piston and ring, but having never really been ridden THAT hard, and jetting always been on the rich side I'm comfortable leaving the motor as is for now. It still produces some pretty good power and not having a PV it's good fun! We even mini-motarded it for a while and we've both done some races on it in that trim. But I would like to give her a couple more ponies to play with.

I could mess around with her stock carb, but seeing how easy it was to get good results out of the Lectron on my WR300, I'd like to get something similar for her. The fuel economy gains would be a huge bonus as she cuts it fine already if we go for a long ride.

Has it been done? Would a 36mm Lectron be too big for the smaller 85 motor?

Appreciate any comments!
 
Send me some measurements of the stock carb. I don't have a ton of experience with the smaller bikes but sold one to a CH member for his daughters KX100 and he loves it. I'm sure we can make this happen.
