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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Lectron tuning--starts w/o choke = too rich?

Likewise, bought my lectron from Kelly and very happy with it out of the box. First race with it last weekend and the bike was transformed.. felt sorry for the other guys who spent thousands more on their KTMs and Bergs etc, yet my WR250 was running great with only a relatively inexpensive mod. Shame Husky didn't get the carb right in the factory!


Glad you are liking it was not sure about your fuel and settings but sounds like it works well.

Set up is working great Kelly. Was a mix of 4 miles of tight woodland/single track 2 miles of 5 gear hang on tight for three and a half hours and did both with easy.. 3rd gear stand up wheelies over rough stuff was so controllable. If that course didn't test it nothing would! You can add UK set up to your credentials.

Anyone reading this who is sick of messing with their standard carb start saving!.
 
Well
Personally I am not sure about linear for a two stroke - I like a bit of hit

Well, I agree that the "hit" in stock form does make it fun but what I got in place of the "hit" was a bike that just GOES. No pissing around, no feeling like it's trying to make up it's mind, just go, go, go. There is still a hit---just more subdued and it's seems even more subdued now that I tinkered with the PV. The dealer had set it up with the PV adjuster bolt about 1/3 from the bottom---I moved it to a hair above 1/2 way. After the next race I plan to lean it out 1/4 turn---not sure if that will return more of the hit or not.

Keep in mind that I'm NOT using it for MX---it's a Hare Scrambles bike.

Honestly, I don't miss the hit because it starts screaming much earlier now----if I get bored with it I'll get the G2 Quick Turn throttle to put some "fright" back into it but for now, I personally feel that the major advantage to the more linear response of increased traction in the woods and when I occasionly venture out onto the local hard-pack SX track (rock hard with a persistent layer of silt) far outweighs the fun of the hit.

If Lectron does come out with a version made for bikes that came stock with the Mikuni, then I'll be getting that one for the Husky and the one I have now will go on the KTM 250XC.
 
You may also like how a longer muffler feels. My cr 150 with stock short muffler feels a lot different to my wr with cr ignition and turbine core 2. The power with shorter muffler is much shorter and comes in harder and seems to finish quicker as well. The bigger muffler changes it a lot .

Done. Called a MS3 shorty. We have them. Cost a little more due to the machining necessary to make them short.

Kelly, can you post the actual length of the Shorty Lectron here? I'm probably gonna be pulling my stocker this weekend and would be a good time to measure it for comparison.
 
This thread has kinda hijacked into a lectron fest.

if you think your running rich pop the cap and -1/4 turn on the rod. No one here can tell you for sure how your bike will run.

It's easy to do trail side with an appropriate Allen key.

As far as missing the hit with the lectron. I haven't it hasnt gone anywhere. Bike screams with the lectron.
 
Still interested in this "shorty" version but nothing is listed on their site. Is this an aftermarket mod?

No, much better to just shoot me an Email and I'll send you one back with all the info. These are done at Lectron to our specifications for our bikes. We have put a ton of time on on these and this unique setup. Lectron has been amazing at making the changes we need.
