  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Next project - 2002 CR250

As for adjustments as above I leaned my out before installing and ended up perfect. Adjusting it would be no big deal, quick remove seat, one 8mm bolt, pull the hose and the tank is off. 2 minutes. Rotate carb pull out slide. EZ. And like you said, once you get it where you like it you really never need to adjust anything but the idle.
I seem to be different. Mine was lean as delivered. Yeah not a huge deal getting to the carb but not as easy as the newer bikes look. Luckily it only took me 3 tries to get it spot on:applause: . If it was as easy as the newer bikes I might not have hated the Mikuni so much.
 
So buddy Adam and I hosted / led some guys from NE Washington around the tillamook burn area. Diamond mill to be exact. They got their moneys worth and were dragging after 44 miles of gnar. Was a great group and had a great time. All KTMs (5) except Adam and I on huskys. :) Everyone had a great time. Were several impressive loop outs on some big climbs. Might be some helmet cam of those somewhere. Adam managed to pinball some trees at speed. Everyone survived and were happily beat up afterwards. Very happy crew. The CR250 is officially dialed and amazing. Motor was always good, now much gooder with the lectron and responsiveness. Trials tire was very impressive and I already knew this area loved trails tires as there is lots of wet slimy roots and rocks.

Good times...

waiting their turn at a small hill..

this is the steep hill I motored right up like I had studs. Had time to get the cam out and get some pix. Trials tires rule on this stuff.

Mine would be EZ with the stock tank but the 3.4 gallon wraps around the carb. Can hardly see it let alone get to it.
I have the same IMS 3.4 on my 02 WR. Wraps all around the carb yes, but is quite slim and nice ergos for 3.4 gallons. That's why I like the Lectron so much. You did good for me.:thumbsup:

One of the better big tanks going and part of the reason I like the 2000-04 bikes. I need to check my milage from yesterday but just looking at the tank it looks like I used a little less than half tank for 44 miles of gnar. I bet I can do 90 miles now or about 10-15 miles more with the Lectron than stock carb.
 
Surprised I didn't run into you out there as we covered a lot of the same ground. I didn't show up til about noon though.

I cant believe all the new trails out there. I actually stopped in Glenwood and got a new map, but then left it in the truck, so I rode around lost most of the day.

Sorry, we should have hooked up, did a really good loop. Were lots of people up there for just an OK weather day.
