  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Wxc250 BR8ES plug ok?

W

WXC250

Husqvarna
AA Class
I did a plug chop test the other day and it looked pretty good tannish brown. Gap was between .60-.65.. I looked in the reference guide and it showed this is 1 step hotter than stock. What does that mean? Should I go back to stock? Thanks

I bought the bike with the plug boot broken off the coil wire.. I shoved it back on the boot with no problems but I'm wondering if this would cause any future issues....

Thanks for any help, really enjoying this bike
 
A BR9 is one step cooler but the 9 will foul easier unless you ride it really hard and have it jetted perfectly. I run a BR8 in my WR250 and usually change it once a year because it gets lead fouled from running leaded VP110 race fuel.

If your color is good like you say and you aren't experiencing detonation (pinging/knocking) then the BR8 is the correct heat range for what you are doing.

That is good to know. I was going by this

Typical Plug for Husky 2-Stroke Bikes:
BR9EG = fine electrode (Stock)
BR9ES = regular electrode
BR9EIX = iridium electrode
Gap = 0.60 mm = 0.0236"

Alternative Plug:
BR8ES = 1 step hotter, with regular electrode
BR8EG = 1 step hotter, with fine electrode
BR8EIX = 1 step hotter, with iridium electrode
