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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

That was wierd getting ready to go for a ride today alittle late out of the gate so sent the others without me. Rob And I catching up, As I am getting ready to leave, I get a tex from one of the others that his chain blew off and I have tools. So I saddle up without check fuel level. we find them fix chain and continue the ride. Then it struck me I forgot to fuel up after last ride. So ride we go and I looke in tank it was prettty low. Coming down hill at around mile 6 bike seemed to run aout of gas. Once i got bike level it started up and I took the road home approx 1 mile. Then coming down hill on my street stall again like starved for fuel. Level ground bike strats and runs,Down my steep driveway stalls again. Hmm I quess fule feed is in back of gas tank? I will top off and try a ride tomorow thoughts??? Thanks Guys!!

Yes on the 250 gas pulls from the back of the tank. On my son's 2011 TE250 the pump appears to have hoses that go off in different directions that I am guessing is getting fuel from all areas of the tank. But it does not like to run close to empty.
 
I would say your fuel pump has slipped from its mounting, common on our bikes. Mine did the same, no fuel light came on but ran out of fuel down hills. Do a search, it's an easy fix, tank off, unbolt the fuel pump housing and remove unit, you'll see the plastic housing of the pump has slipped out of the prongs which hold it in place, push it back and zip tie the prongs around the pump so it can't happen again.

Hmm Thanks Guys! I did drop the bike quite nicely yesterday, not a crash but an off camber where I no footing underneath me. ok Great Thanks everyone I will take her apart tonight to check it. JC
 
topped her off with gas took her for ride, it didnt happen again , I checked under tank to make sure fuel pump was in its place and all looks good. so hopefully that was it. talk soon JC
 
Clarification the pump acually unclips from its mount inside the tank. Thats what the previous post was saying.
I found mine loose (2011 TE310) when I removed my tank and emptied it for maintenance and heard something rattling around loose in the tank.
For this issue to check you need to empty tank and shake it there should be nothing loose, if there is you need to remove the 4 pump mount screws on the LHS of the tank, its very simple to see if the pump is not clipped in. I even carefully bent the retaining clips in a little to keep them tighter against the pump assy.
