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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What do you guys think is a good jetting for the ice in the winter when the temp is going under zero? I,m picking up my new bike next week and want to prepare it for the winter here in sweden.
Any suggestions is welcome!

Johnny,
I don't know how your Euro model will come jetted stock, but I can tell you this,...My US/CAN WR300 would've probably been pretty darn close to spot on for sub-freezing temps right outta the box, because as soon as the temps got up around 60* F around here last spring mine began to turn pig rich.

It had the (stock) 6BFY43-74 needle with the clip in the middle groove, a 35 pilot, and a 460 main. As soon as I got it broken in, and the ambient temperature became conducive to support human life, I had to start leaning out the pilot circuit and needle to prevent it from strangling on it's own spooge.
 
Ok! Now we have about 19 degrees F and in the summer around 60-80 degrees F, so maybe it´s about the same as you have. Thanks for the jetting specs!

if you're riding on ice, you should cover one of the radiators with cardboard. cold temperatures and high speeds don't mix, the enduro radiators will be too big, and even when you warmed up the engine before, the cold wind will cool it down. i once drove a wr300 at 0°c outside temperature at full speed in fifth gear (around 120 kph), the water temperature dropped from 60°c to 38°c within 1 km, and it seized.

Yes, thanks for the info! I did that on my Honda CR 250 last winter too, and it worked fine. Was out and checked the lake today and ice is abou 4 inches thick now, so it´s rideable soon!
