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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

this is what i get for skipping work

Tight rocky trail first second gear bike overheated

can lean setting cause this?
Any suggestions?
 
Let the bike cool down, poured 1/2 liter of water in there and rode fine for the rest of the day... Weird..

Lucky! Yes lean jetting will cause you to overheat/seize the engine.

I thought lean jetting is a problem when riding wide open for period of time....but can it really cause problem chugging along rocky trails in low gears?

absolutely. no air flow and a motor running too hot equals boil over. lean jetting make it run HOT. more gas actually cools down the combustion.
 
Interesting...
I have Lectron, and I did lean out powerjet to see if power can be improved, however, I thought powerjet only kicks in at higher rpm/ throttle opening.

But I was at low rpm, meaning I can possibly be lean at my current rod setting...will call Lectron tomorrow to see what they think, but running wise, bike ran perfectly today. Very crisp and good power everywhere. No hesitation and very smooth.

I might have been low on coolant to begin with...I actually never checked it after buying the bike.
