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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Tempermental Problem when Hot

I have an odd problem. I've owned my '08 TE510 since new, this problem doesn't happen all the time. I've also only experienced it a handful of times in about the last two years.

When the bike is hot, really hot, the fan may have kicked on, or a lot of clutching in tight canyons or whatever and I stall the bike---THE PROBLEM---after starting the bike back up, I get going, then the power feels restricted, kind of like the choke is on. It'll start rolling fine, but in the upper half of the throttle, it kind of kicks down. I think it backfired once while this was going on too. Most of the time if I "re-boot" the problem will go away. One time it persisted and ruined my day on a joy ride day, but I race this bike in the desert (So Cal District 38) and sometimes it really can cost me some time.

Yes, I do regular maintenance on the bike, oil changes, valve checks, air filter, etc...

Anyone ever experience this or have any advice?
 
My 08 450 would feel like it "loads up" like a 2 stroke after riding lots of tight stuff. If would take some high revving to clean out and run like normal. I went and leaned out the FB settings with ibeat and that helped. Kinda sounds like your problem but maybe a little different?
 
Yea, this is a tough one to diagnose. If it was something I could change with ibeat wouldn't I see the problem all the time? What is FB? It's definitely an annoying problem but I am thankful I don't see it too often. Still love my Husky, and wish I could con the little woman into an additional Husky dedicated race bike, maybe a carbed two-stroke? :)
Maybe someone will post up that has experience this.
 
I wonder if the Coolant Temp sensor might be going haywire on you? If not that, then maybe an ignition issue between the coil and the plug or even the plug itself? I mention these things because they can definitely be temperature related and are fairly easy to eliminate off the bat. CTS is an extremely easy swap. May even show up in iBeat when comparing ambient temp to sensor temp. Ignition will take a bit more digging and/or component swapping. HTH
