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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My 2010 tc 250!

Check your exhaust cam to see which spring you have. Look at this thread for reference. They updated the cam on the 2010s at some point. With that straight spring, its like kicking against a brick wall.

If you do have the cam with the straight spring, you will be unhappy to find out that you can't just buy the spring...you have to buy the whole cam. On mine, we bent the spring on the cam to mimic the updated cam and it did improve the starting. I bought the updated cam just to be sure, though.
 
After i put around 10 hours on it it ran amazing and now i have around 40 on it and it starts first kick cold and within 5 hot

So no changes to bike to fix any starting issues?

After the valve cover is removed, how much more work is needed to get that spring off for bending?

Well you can't really take it off, so you don't even really have to take the cam off. Does yours have the straight spring?

Not sure because I've not had the valve cover off yet ... I just know the bike will not crank when hot ... Not too good a starter when cold or just warm also ... It looks pretty sitting in a static position but I'm more of a dynamic guy when it comes to dirt bikes.

i will ask my dad today when hegets home , because we put a boysen quick shot and a fuel mixture screw in it also , and i also learned there is a trick to kicking these bikes you have to build the compression up and then push it down just alittle bit and you will feel a click , then just kick nice and gradual not really hard though and it should start after that
