  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 450 2006 spluttering?

Just wondering if anyone can offer advice as to how to fix my bike, it backfires and splutters when it warms up. Some advice I got was it could be the cdi, so I replaced that to no avail and replaced the spark plug lead. The puzzling part is that it seems to happen when I'm halfway into a ride (40 odd kms) any suggestion would be appreciated.
 
My first thought would be the rubber boot between the carb and the engine. I would at least look at that for cracks/leaks.

Of course it could be something else. Backfiring is because of a lean condition.

As an aside - that is a fantastic bike, you may want to consider keeping it. :thumbsup:

I second this. An easy place to start. Also check the exhaust system for cracks or holes. That can also lead to backfires.
 
Check the seal between the end of the header where it loins the muffler. if that is leaking it will backfire.
