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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Cracked carb boot

Hey folks,

just wanted to pass this along as an FYI: Someone posted up something about the rubber boot/junction between the carb/FI and cylinder having been cracked and causing weird performance issues. Well, lo and behold mine is cracked and leaking as well, tried a bit of silicone to seal it up but that was a no go. The rubber has broken down and every time I whack the throttle a bit the carb bounces back and forth. Not good, I changed it out today and WOW! The carb actually is working correctly again, enough that I have to go back to my jet settings from over a year ago.
What seems to have been going on was the carb was little rich on the low end and lean on the high as the bike was beginning to feel "different", just didn't have the "snap" it used to. This didn't dawn on me until I read a post about this problem and took a ride on a friends 07 sm610.

cheers,

Mike

Interesting!



What bike and year do you have?

Dean, it's a 2006 TE610. After I originally jetted it last spring and had an Uptite exhaust on it the bike would really run! But as time went on and in particular after I put a Motorsportz can on the bike just didn't seem to be as "peppy" as it used to be and at highway speeds it just seemed to labor a bit. I read a post somewhere about something similar happening (a bit different symptoms) and decided to have a look. Sure enough there were cracks all along the ring that the carb clamp sits next to. The new carb boot does not move at all and the bike is back to running like it did last year:thumbsup: Maybe I just got one made of bad pasta or something or maybe I shouldn't be riding the heck out of it? dunno? I have been accused of being a "throttle jockey" here and there, whatcha gonna do?

cheers,

Mike
