  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Stator problem 2008 WR250?

I was out riding a few weeks ago and my WR250, and after about 4 hours of riding the bike started to stumble after a about 3/4 throttle; it had been running fine. I changed the plug and it continued doing the same thing.

Took the bike out to check jetting last weekend and the stumble issue moved to 1/2 throttle and up. Luckily a riding buddy was sitting in the parking lot and noticed that my headlight was pulsing even at higher revs... So I disconnected the reg/rec (aftermarket to run DC) and the bike ran great. I plugged the reg/rec back in and bike again had the same stumble.

I was messing around in the garage yesterday; hooked up the stock reg and wired up a temp harness to eliminate the reg/rec and the harness. No go, bike did the same thing. I checked the lighting coil open circuit voltage (regulator disconnected) and it varied between ~11-13V when the bike was idling ~1800-2000 rpm. I checked frame grounds at the ground stud near the coil and they are tight and not corroded. Checked the 4-pin plastic connector and it was seated.

I took the plug cap off and the resistance measures 4.7K, so I would think that eliminates the plug cap as a potential issue.

At this point my thought is that it is a bad stator or possible a fault in the stator harness. I have a spare stator that I am going to put on the bike, as soon as I figure out how to get the flywheel off. The puller I got from the dealer is a bolt style.......


Thanks in advance :thumbsup:


Edit: Okay; things are going "well".... just messed up the threads on the flywheel (not the crank). Took the bike to a local shop to have him remove the flywheel... Gave him a spare puller (kind with the tapped thru hole) I had lying around for a different bike. He'll probably weld it to the flywheel etc... Called Halls and bought a different style flywheel puller (one that has the tapped thru hole).
 
what's the thread size of the flywheel puller for your bike?

i have the same bike and need to remove mine but am not sure which puller to buy.

thanx
 
I believe it's a 22m x 1.5 RHT. I ended up calling Halls and buying the Husky puller, I don't think it was much more than the aftermarket. The aftermarket one I had was the type that you have to put a ball bearing in; I like the Husky one much better...
