  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 txc250 cold weather starting

My bike seems to be very cold natured. It starts fairly quick but takes a while to warm up and run smooth. How long do most people run the choke for? My yz250 takes about 15 seconds and its ready to go.
 
Those TXC250s are very cold blooded. My 310 takes over a full minute of idling before it gets to a proper temp.
 
They're sensitive to fuel screw adjustments. The 2010's are the same way. I dial my FS out 1/4-1/2 turn for every 10 degree drop in temp (assuming the pilot jet is correct). I normally don't need the choke for any more than 30 seconds.

I put "flexjet" screws in all my bikes so I can dial things in within seconds.
 
I choke mine for 30 seconds or so, then give it a high idle with the throttle, and pop the choke in at the same time. Then keep high idle for maybe another 30 seconds....then go rip it up!
 
usually takes at least a couple good minutes to warm up the bike,very cold blooded,you can tell when the temp drops
 
Pretty much the same here...30 seconds with the choke and another 30 seconds with the throttle and it's good to go. It would probably take longer if it were much colder.
 
In the cold they are harder to start and take longer to warm up.
I usually go for 30 seconds of choke below 60 degrees.
I then touch the bottom of the left hand radiator, when it is pretty hot to touch she is ready to rock and roll.
