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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I didn't clarify, I was referring specifically to the new no-battery fuel injected bikes and whether or not they need a first kick to generate enough power to spray fuel and generate a spark. I do know some of the digital ignitions don't spark until their second revolution which can be a pain in the butt on the big-bore bikes where it's hard to kick twice quickly or kick powerfully enough to make the engine turn over twice. It was a big problem with the aftermarket ignition Service Honda was selling for the CR500s. It was supposed to make starting easier but due to not generating spark until the second revolution it made starting much harder. Oops.
 
Ok. I knew I was missing something, now I get it.
S&S Cycle, makers of Harley Hi Performance Engines had the same problem with their bikes when they created a new Electronic Ignition system to replace the old mechanical ones. Didn't work with kickers (and they hadn't figured this out before putting them in the field). Now they have a specail one that does.

I like the safety factor of batterlyless kick-start bikes for deep desert adventrures.

CRF 450 and KX 450 have this...battery less EFI.
