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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Sprocket question and misc question

Greetings all,

I was wondering if sprockets are bike specific? I have a 2010 TE 250 and was looking for a sturdy, rear sprocket between 40 and 50. Sometimes I have to do a bit of road riding before trails (some routes are 50mph - no highway).

Is there a setup for these bikes that would be like 45-47 rear sprocket and a different size chain? Would increasing front one size with 50 rear be good? I hear the front's wear worse, so is there an aftermarket that would be best that?

Also - I been noticing just recently that if I'm in 5th or 6th, and I accelerate quickly from around 5700rpms, there is a 'clicking' noise that sounds like it maybe coming from engine. Could this be a timing chain or valve problem. It's odd because it only occurs in 5th and 6th (mostly 6th, I don't think I notice it in 5th). And it's only for half a second around 5700rpms and I accelerate quickly - seems different from the fuel injection being too lean. I have JD Jetting and have been using recommended settings found here, anyone if it is the fuel settings, know which part I should be tweaking?

Thanks
 
On the gearing, all I know is that 1 tooth more on the CSS or 3 teeth less on the rear will get you 500 RPMs less. And count on getting and using a different chain if you move it more than one of those.

On the clicking, if that was my bike, the first thing I would do is buy the smallest amount of octane booster possible, put an ounce or so in the tank and run it in the same circumstance that you've heard the sound before. This exercise will eliminate or confirm pre-detonation as the cause of the sound.
 
It's strange because the clicking noise is literally one or two 'clicks' (very rapid) and happens only if I'm trying to pull quicker than normal in 6th (maybe sometimes 5th? I will have to double check that) from around 5500-5700rpms - there's a click click then it's fine. Doesn't happen in any other gear.

I just want to make sure this clicking isn't anything too severe, I don't pull fast often from 6th anyways unless I'm on a fireroad or something that is going uphill and it's easy to go 45mph.. That's when I notice it. But from any other RPMS , it's fine - in 6th or any gear.

Bike fires right up on first crank , idles fine, and pulls nice and smooth in all other gears from low rpms to high rpms.

I appreciate the input, will investigate further and post my findings.
 
As ray says, it's the chain slapping on the frame, mine does it, slacker the chain the more it happens, don't over tighten the chain to get rid of it though. If you look where the chain passes the frame above the swing arm pivot you'll notice a lack of white paint, that's where it's hitting.
