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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

09 TE510 surging at highway speeds guess what I found

Well I was out riding and had to do some blacktop to the next trail , speed limit 55 - 60 mph . While I'm driving down the road the bike seems like it's not holding steady rpm at highway speeds , sort of surging slightly up and down, not much . I think it also was acting like I wasn't getting enough fuel. So I'm thinking that 3700 miles , never changed the fuel filter , never had the fuel injector off for cleaning , never had any problems that would have required me to look in that direction( what a great bike the RED Head Legend motor is) .I was thinking the last time I was riding in the mountains the power seemed down a little but it's hard to notice on open class bikes when it starts dropping power . Anyhow I've had the fuel filter in my workshop forever along with a host of other parts and I'm thinking I'll pull the tank and have at it. So I'm finishing up another bike suspension and carbs from a Bandit and I look at my TE and I'm looking directly at the back of the bike and see the spark arrestor . Hmmmm:thinking: I've never pulled that out and cleaned it although it doesn't look dirty , I think I will . Like I said it didn't look dirty or clogged but when I puled it out about 25% towards the front of the spark arrestor had some type of packing material stuck on it and of course some carbon . Ok wire brush ,gas torch , heat to cherry red brush off and holy **************************************** it was dirty . I put it back on the bike and off I go to check it out . Wow I have new found/lost horsepower and torque . The bike now acts like an open class motor as it should , able to jump ditches and creeks with no effort at all, and just bring that smile back when I'm twisting the throttle . I'm not saying I shouldn't change that filter or clean the injector but I don't feel it's necessary (yet). :thumbsup: CHECK THAT SPARK ARRESTOR
