• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 410 1997 first reg - what carb is standard

Picked up a nearly complete TE410 as a box of bits and trying to build a complete bike back up. . It had been dismantled for years. Has very few miles and all internals are in great condition. Reg doc says Jan 1997 first reg. My question is what carb is standard ? The one that came with the bike is a flat slide Keihin with two cables from the twistgrip. All my other huskies have Dellorto's so this is new territory for me. Thanks. Daftmate
 
Many thanks, exactly what I needed to know. I recall riding my mates 520 KTM and loved the amazing light throttle action which we put down to the flat screen carb. So basically very tempted to try it out, looks quite a fancy piece of kit too.

I'm guessing the Keihin may have been a reasonable upgrade in the day the bikes were relatively new ? So going to buy an overhaul kit for the existing Keihin, clean and refurb and see what happens. Will revert to the trusted Dellorto if it gets difficult. Let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the info.

Hi,

My 2001 TE570 came with a Dellorto, the following years came with a Mikuni,

So looks like someone added the Keihin,

Let us know how it goes.

:)
