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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Hot Start LEVER? Is it possible?

Occasionally a hot start is needed esp on hotter days and at higher elevation than what the bike is jetted for, if it is more than occasional you may want to adjust your pilot circuit (pilot jet and fuel screw).

Some riders preferred a hot start lever on the handlebar using an aluminum part from Pro Circuit (which screws into the side of the carb taking the place of the red hot start knob) and a thumb lever that came from the Dennis Kirk catalog for attaching to the Magura clutch bracket. The cable and other parts can be sourced through Honda or Yamaha or other brands that come with the hot start on the bars.

My bike cant run any better- its brutal on throttle response, dead nuts on lambda ratio according to the dyno, and fitted with the JD kit and painstakingly dialed in.
Im at 6215 ft above sea level and we ride beyond 10K feet on pretty much every ride. I dont have the time or inclination to stop and re-jet every 2K feet of elevation change. When the bike flames out (because Im tired and not clutching well as an example) on a technical rock section and its 2 hours into the ride and the bike is leaning over on me to the point of collapse and its a 10% grade I will really enjoy the finger operated hot start so I can get it going.
