  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 A whistle due to worn Reed petals? Wr250 2005

Hello Folks,

Yesterday I was riding my bike in a nice Offroad trip, but I was hearing a noise in my engine when releasing the throttle.

When I have to describe that noise, I would say it's a whistle. When I am on the gas and releasing it, I am hearing it.

Well somebody who I was riding with, told me I could be the reed petals, which are not closing anymore. Or a piston with to much clearance.

My piston is only 10 hours old, and I am not feeling any lack in power. I would like to do a compression test to make sure.

But for now I think it are the reed petals. I have removed the reed valve and indeed, the petals are not closing properly.DSC_0452.jpgDSC_0453.jpg

Could this be the cause of the whistle noise? Or could it be something else?

I need to buy new petals and on ebay I found new ones, but these are carbon made and I have glassfiber ones. Would this be better to do, because the glassfiber reed petals from an official Husqvarna dealer cost 50 EUR. and the carbon from ebay only 20EUR.

Greetz,

Thijs
