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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have a 09 wr 250 and just rode it back to back on a 08 wr 250 the bikes are not even remotely close to each other
confused.gif
, my 09 has no over rev and runs flat quick the 08 I rode had great over rev but not quite the tork of the 09 . Does this have something to do with the changes made in 09 to the pipe and maybe porting or is the porting the same , both bikes are stock the 08 has FMF silencer and stock carb the 09 has PWK carb . These few mods should not make a huge difference in motor feel my 09 ran flat with the stock carb as well , no over rev . Am I missing something here I like the over rev of the 08 WR any info would be great , would like to make the 09 rev alittle bit other then that the 09 works great in the low rev operation just want it to wind abit .
 
It could be the pipes, but try swapping silencers and make sure you aren't too large on your main jet.

From there, check that your power valve is opening all the way. Both bikes should run very close.
 
I agree, probably pipe and muffler. They move power around and usually pretty noticeably. On my 125/144 the just switching to the Doma pipe over the stock one makes huge differences in power and where the power is.
 
I have the same thing going on with my 09 250. The last thing I did after trying all kinds of jetting was to put a gasket on the intake to rule out an air leak. But I haven't tested it yet...winter hit and now I'm still waiting for spring. The bolt on the stopper plate for the power valve when open was also loose. Tightening it didn't change anything though. I also picked up a used 36mm PWK over the winter, so if the gasket doesn't help, that will be the next thing I try. I'd love to hear if anyone else had this problem and what they did to fix it.
 
John C - Great fix for zippo cost! When and if you pop that thing apart, try to snap a few photos of that brass insert and the end fittings ect... Once I get my suspension revalved, we'll need to trade bikes again and do a ride comparison. Take Care... John H
