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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE/TC New V4R reed valve for 17 models

Guys have been running them for a while on the 2017 ktm 2 strokes.
Slavens has some videos about them if you're interested.
 
My bike seem to run fine the 1/2hour I rode it. Will wait and see if needed but some claim it is needed right away. If bike runs good why change.
 
Then when you have to spend your beer money because a reed has broken off and fallen inside the motor we can hear from you. Plus most people want there bike running properly not having to constantly adjust there jetting....

Ok I see now - they are saying there is also a problem with the some reeds not sealing properly . I guess its something you can check .
 
Most of the problem is with the inferior reed cage that KTM and Husqvarna built thinking they could save some money by building it themselves. The oem reed cage is made of plastic and is warped. Most people are lightly sanding the cage. This is only a bandaid to the problem. This makes it difficult to jet. Mototassinari V4R26 reeds are much better quality and the surface that the reeds seal to is coated in a rubber material as well as they have reed stops....People getting the V4R26 reeds will not regret it.....

Ahahaha, I know you're right and I was trying to sound casual about it with the beer and bbq comment. When in fact, I have always planned to get a better cage/reed set up. I have been following the issue on KTMTalk since member Lonewolf orginally brought it up early last year. I've seen all the youtube vids from ktmandhusky and slavens. No way Im not swapping cage/reeds.
