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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Lectron question

Trying to get my Lectron dialed on my 300. I am reading that 1-1 1/2 out on the idle screw is where you want to be mine is turned in further than this... Does that mean I am running rich? Idle screw in richens (decrease) and in leans (increases) is this correct? Little confused cuz Kellys tuning guide says the opposite?
 
Also what rod should the 250/300 have? Mine has the MS-3 rod is this just for the 125 bikes or all? Pretty sure the MS-3 rod is 125/144/165 special rod right?

how it works
if the idle mixture screw is after the slide as in closer to the engine you are adjusting the amount of gas so in is leaner
if the idle mixture screw is before the slide or to say farther from the engine you are adjusting the air break so in is richer

I think your getting confused with a air screw and a fuel screw , Lectron has neither only a idle / tick over screw.
 
On my lectron the richer I make the rod the more turns in the idle has to go and mine is nowhere near the recommended settings from Kelly and I think he only give these settings as a guide line, personaly I try to get the idle/ low end set perfectly first and this seems to give a good setting then move onto the power jet for the top end.
 
K I think I have been over reading the forums lol. mine isn't at his recomended either and I was worried I may be way out on something. I just need to make the bike happy and stop reading ;)
