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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Stalling problems

Has anyone ever had any problems with there 2010 TC 250 like this. The other day i went for a quick ride and after it had warmed up i headed off and gave it a fair bit of throttle and i it was revving kind of hard but nothing bad and then when i slowed down it lost all power and stalled after about 3 minutes of trying to get it going it started, the same thing repeated again (stalling) but when i got it going it was fine. the next day the same thing happened but i un-screwed the fuel on/off screw all the way but i have ridden before with it only halfway open and it has been perfectly fine, so im guessing that wasn't it because it had already stalled three times this ride like the last one before i undid the fuel and as i said it was fine after the third stall so i'm not sure. Any ideas?
 
Is it running rich? Oftentimes quick decelleration will stalll and flood a rich running bike. Any recent carb adjustments? could have a sticky float as well.
 
kill switch, bad plug boot/wire/contact/short, over-oiled filter, plugged carb vent, etc etc etc...
 
what do you mean by running rich? i am not that familiar with the 4 stroke bikes as this is the first one i have owned i purchased it a couple of weeks ago. (i will also be getting a new spark plug soon)
 
ooo! here's one i forgot. if yer new to the bike/got new boots/dumped it recently etc etc etc- check yer back brake pedal adjustment. if yer chopping the gas and it dies yer boot might be dragging the back brake and killing it. i had a mystery staller once come to me for service. i went high and low on this thing it starts idles had snap it was good to go. had the client ride it and boom- stalls on him when he was sitting. i was watching the back wheel and saw it skid just before it stalled. i lowered the pedal 8mm and problem solved.

as indo sed if yer not totally familiar with it- take her in. ive found bits of paper towels/red rag fuzz in carbs, too much oil in the boot, all kinda things can cause a stall if it runs OK otherwise. if it starts and idles and has snap that kinda rules out the carby in most cases unless there's a wild hair in there floating around. quick easy way to check yer bowl level: place on center stand, turn on gas, does it dribble? no is good. yes is an issue. you should be able to tip the bike a teensy (frame rail up off stand an inch or so) bit to one side or another SLOWLY before it pees. drain your carby after each ride too.
 
The new boot thing's hilarious! Just got new boots recently and felt like the bike was bogging a bit in the slow stuff. I'm a heavy front brake user so didn't even realize my boot was pressing on the brake. Figured it out when I used my old boots the next day and the bike felt a bit peppier.
 
thanks for your help guys, ill probably have some one look at it. seems to be running well but its just after a big hit of power and it starts to backfire alot when slowing down and when i dont keep the revs up it stalls

i probably wouldn't be able to do this myself, around about how much would this be?

I would think you could open up the carb and see what jets are in it... not that many tools needed.

If you want someone else to do the work, then I would assume they charge by the hour.

There are several dealers listed here as sponsors:

I really cannot tell where you are located, but my gut says this place might be of interest?
