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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Quick reminder - air boot slippage!!

Just thought I'd post a quick reminder to all of you 4T 250 and 300 owners! The air boot between the throttle body and the cylinder has a tendency to slip and pop off the cylinder inlet due to the back pressure created. I just checked ours again last night and it started to slip again. Its easy to fix (just loosen the hose clamp, slide the boot all the way on and tighten it again...and check it regularly! This is how we blew our 11 TXC 250 up last year...ran long enough with the air boot popped off to induce lots of dirt and destroy the head - $$$$
I thought I had a permanent fix for this with some safety wire, but apparently that did not work.
 
My 2010 txc250 use to do the same thing till I started using a intake boot clamp from a Honda crf250x.
 
Not just the 250 and 310s - spent an hour in the lowest part of Cow Mountain trying to diagnose a TE450. Fuel fine, cam shims all in place, spark, etc. etc. Starting to think about how to tow it out...

Then someone noticed the boot and the throttle body were no longer connected.
 
Hi there, maybe this can help. I always assemble these after degreasing boot and flange with solvent brake cleaner or such like. Can make it a bit more difficult to assemble. However once on,the rubber really grips the stub, take care not to over tighten the clip. This has always worked well for me on many bikes over the years. Cheers Nigel.
