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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Lectron is a-o-k with me

I was thinking the same thing today and realized, "wait a minute, I'm keeping this bike and carb until they or I disintegrate"
I think I will trim mine just so it fits a little nicer
Looks like I had better start saving for a Lectron... Damn it, I was going to save for a new pipe and silencer but now this mite be $ better spent.. Still Damn hot in Queensland, but my kids have hounded me hard so camelbacks chilled ready for an early trail ride
IMHO, and not because I am selling them, but the Lectron is a far better performance mod than a pipe. IMHO a pipe moves the power around while the Lectron makes more and better power everywhere.

How do I get the official Lectron Metering rod adjusting tool PT#7000-1? Also, how do I adjust the power jet knob? All the little manual talks about is replacing the power jets.

They have two (2) different types of Power Jets. One type uses Mikuni Pilot jets. For just a bit more money you can get a metered adjustable Power Jet with a adjustment knob. Out is more. The original Mikuni Pilot jet type starts with a #60 PJ. You get jets to adjust from there.
I can get you the dial indicator tool if you think you need it but you do not. Your idle adjustment tells you about everything you need to know. If you have to turn it in to far it is rich, back the rod out a half turn and then see if the idle is more int he middle of the range. All you are doing is setting the rod to the slide. this is pretty EZ to feel and find out and adjust if need be. As for the powerjet we send them all out with the externally adjustable powerjet. Just play with it and read your plug. Should come setup close and feel free to turn it in our out and see how it affects the top end. Without a dyno and sniffer it is a bit of a guessing game but as there is a simple knob to twist right there just treat it like suspension settings. Turn it one way a half turn and see if the top gets better or worse. If worse turn it the other way a half turn. Do wide open throttle chops and plug reads and see where you are at. The whole process is FAR EZer than tuning a jetted carb and is actually kind fun. Once you set the rod which is EZ about all you will do is adjust the idle for different conditions. This carb works really nice and is very simple to live with. Hope that helps. Oh, one cool thing about the adjustable powerjet is if you hit the dunes or something and need top end and no pinging just spin the adjuster out some and go.
