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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey guys. I bought a 2011 WR300 for my son a while ago. I have a WR300 myself but i use thye PWK carb in that one. I have forgot what needle could be good to use in the summer in the Mikuni carb. I feel that the GAY needle is too rich at the base diameter and the bike bludders on light throttle so i need to have a better option there. What do you guys suggest? I know thye GAY needle is quite lean in the middle so maybe a tad richer there too. Any ideas?

It's not just the needle that is the problem on this bike. The needle jet is also a bit too lean. I bought the JD Jetting kit, that has a richer needle jet, a lean needle and a rich needle, plus a few pilot and main jets. There is enough stuff in that kit to get the bike dialed in for any situation.
 
Try DEY or BFY. Or try the JD kit.

I would argue that it's not the needle jet that is the problem, it's the needle. the JD kit just uses a different needle jet so they can use an existing needle they already make. Fuel only cares about the gap, not the diameter.
