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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Krieg,
Did you end up with the 30 pilot or the 32.5? I got a 30 from Gerald, but he doesn't seem familiar with the "half" sizes.
You still running the needle clip one notch leaner/higher? Have you kept
the stock main so far?

Either of you guys happen to know the correct float height setting for this new TMX? I can't seem to find any specs on it anywhere.

How much range are you getting out of the stock tank? How 'bout you PC? How far were you going at EFR on a tank of fuel?
I ask because some of the systems I ride have some pretty long loops. My KTM300 will make it around any of them,...but I think it carries a little more fuel than the Husky.

Sorry for all the questions, but you guys are way ahead of me on set-up and dial-in. Work has driven me nuts this spring so far,...I haven't had time to do much of anything to my new WR300 at all yet.
I got invited up to PA a couple weeks ago to ride with 3 good buds of mine at a system called Rock Run. I took a long week-end and went, but I had to take my '06 KTM 300XCW because I just didn't have my Husky prepped and ready yet. That really sucked, but I just couldn't bring myself to take the new WR300 out into the hard core stuff before I was satisfied that it was jetted right, dialed in, and ready for action.

I'm running a 32.5 pilot that I got from Sudco. I'm still running the needle one clip lean. I switched the main from 460 to 450 because the temps here in the Southeast USA are consistently in the 70 - 85 degree range... soon to be 90+.

Okay thanks for the info. I don't know whether to put in my 30 pilot
and leave the needle alone, or try and get a 32.5 pilot and lean the needle one clip. I once developed a "lean ping" in the mid-range on my
'03 KTM 300 messing around with different needles and positions, and that sorta made me "needle shy" when jetting my bikes from then on.

I'm not the type who really likes to tinker with jetting. I have a basic knowledge of it,...born purely out of necessity,...but I don't love fooling with it like some guys do. When I got my '06 KTM 300 I just sorta sat back and waited until the jetting gurus on KTMtalk had it perfected for various altitudes, then I installed what they recommended for my eastern type conditions, and it's worked great ever since.
I liked that,...I'm more of a follower and not a pioneer on jetting.

I hear ya on that Southeastern weather too,...The wife and I are fixin' to pull out with the camper Monday morning and head out for our annual trip down to Darlington for the Southern 500. We love it down there. I'd buy my campsite from ol' Leon Young down there on Indian Branch Road if he'd sell it to me. We like the Coke 600 in your town too, great race, super track...but man are they ever packed in there that weekend,...a little too much "togetherness". :D
 
Hey everybody! New here! Nice forum BTW, I stumbled upon it on my relentless quest for a 300cc. Somewhere else I've posted my opinion that 300cc's will save the two stroke engine. They are becoming so popular! I Wish the WR300 had ignition mapping switches, can they? Please excuse me if I've hijacked the thread.
Cheers
 
Fast By Ferracci used to sell a dual map box for the CR 125's with the digital ignition. WR 250/300 has the analog still I think. Back in the 90's I think there was a way of hooking or un-hooking the regulator that would change the ignition. Too long ago but I had a toggle switch hooked up to a 360.
