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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

te 250 won't start

Big H man

Cant cope with another weekend with no dirt bike so any help appreciated.

My 2005 te250 recently fell off the stand resulting in a crack in the generator cover. I have now replaced the cover and the bike started first time. Since then I have not been able to start the bike on either electric or kick start. The only visible problem I can see is a weak spark at the plug. Has anyone had a similar problem?

Many thanks
 
Thanks for your reply huskyista
There are no marks on the rotor or phase sensor so all ok there.
The only other unusual thing that happened when the bike was running after changing the cover was that the bike tried to start itself while running. This did happen once before and I have a feeling that that was the reason it came off the stand. I have since WD40'd the kill switch.
Could it be a problem with this as opposed to the new cover?
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks again
Hamish
