  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 recently picked up a 2010 WR 250 from a local dealer, the bike had been used but the engine is all redone. The bike starts up perfect and runs amazing for about 1 minute then darts to big down until it cuts off. I tried changing the plugs and same thing. It can idle forever but ad soon as I get on it and go it lasts about a minute. Also blows a little bit of white smoke. I don't want to start screwing around with anything until I get some input from some people that know what they are talking about.. Thanks!
 
Maybe fuel supply is restricted and not supplying the carb bowl fast enough. I would start by checking float level and needle valve as well as petcock in the tank.
 
White smoke after it heats up? check your radiator level.sounds like it could be a head gasket issue.They could have reused the head o rings? What does your plug look like? pics would be great to help you out.
 
Check your float bowl for water. Condensation in the fuel tank from sitting can sometimes allow moisture to get in the carb.
 
If the pet-cock is not flowing enough fuel,remove the pet-cock and inspect the gauze filter screen. I had one plug up on a previous bike I owned and it ended up in a piston seizure:eek:! I remove the filters on all the pet-cocks on my bikes and run an in-line filter.The in-line filters are cheap and are easily inspected to see when they are dirty:thumbsup:! Also check that the gas cap vent is clear and allowing air to flow into the fuel tank.
