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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc WR 300 rattle noise

Honda CR250 reed block gaskets fit perfect in there. I bought 2 of them for about $5 and sealed both sides of the reed cage with them.

I just noticed my bike doing this exact same thing. I had the casing off last weekend to fix the dreaded gear changing issue. Rode it last night fine and today it starts making the noise that your describing.
Just re-pulled the clutch out to make sure everything is ok. Test ride and theres the noise.

Did sealing up the the reeds fix the problem? Pretty concerning as Ive had the bike for 3 weeks and had too fix twice already.
 
There was a rattling noise on my 300 at the rpm range you specified. It turned out to be the exhaust springs. I slid them inside of a radiator hose, and it went away.

Can someone please share link for a correct gasket? Or what year cr250 will work?
Thanks!
 
Thanks

Thanks!!

I just took close look at mine and I see gasket between reeds and cylinder. Do I also need one between intake boot and reeds?

I'm going to start by moving the needle up a notch and go from there. I talked to my dealer and he said my condition may have something to do with the new ignition. They have been using the same jetting that they used with the old ignition. Maybe the timing is different with the electronic ign?

your dealer may know something u have not even considered.the ducati ignition can be faulty that causes poor,inconsistent spark-difficult starting-fierce kick back-engine seizures[in my case 3 that were fixed under warranty,not related to jetting,mixture,air leaks,dusted engine]
