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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Te250 High elevation - Sea level Jetting

Hello husky peoples,
I have a 2007 TE250 I just bought that is jetted for sea level (my elevation), it works perfectly and the jetting is spot on.

My question:
Will this jetting be usable at an elevation of 7500 – 9000 feet? I know performance will be affected some, I’m wondering if the moto will be so bogged out as to be no fun?

I’m taking a trip to Kennedy Meadow CA, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains this weekend. I want to take the TE250 but will have no time to play with the jetting, especially since I’m not familiar with the carburetor at this point. Otherwise I’ll take my trusty XR250 which I’m better at dialing in the carb.

All opinions appreciated. THANKS!
 
The bike will be fine. :)

Although you may get tired.

Turn in your fuel screw 1/2 turn on the bottom of the carb, if you do not have an aftermarket adjustable fuel screw that you can adjust with your fingers I highly recommend getting one.

If you cannot turn in the fuel screw for some reason, just use the hot start more often at the higher elevations.

:cheers:
 
Make sure you bleed the air out of your forks and check your tire pressure - or you will be bouncing all over the place.

Get the bikes forks fully extended somehow, then loosen the bleed screw, then snug screw back down.


And of course do all the normal stuff to get ready for a ride like tools, water, clean underwear... :D
