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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Problems with my 07 te450

Oh wow. It has been quite some time since the Euro 3 bikes have been discussed, and many of the people that did have them do not seem to log into this site very much any more.

Not terribly sure how much help you will get on this site with Euro 3 specific question.

Besides the EU most Euro 3's were sold in Canada, but some were also sold in states other than California - at least that is what I recall.
 
Well it may come as a shock, but I'm back and I have JUST (5 minutes ago) finished the bike. After looking high and low for parts, fixing the suspension, replacing the stator, rewiring the rear light that I accidentally ripped the harness out of (whoops) hunting down the original seller because of a title issue, and MANY other little issues that have reared their ugly heads... The bike is DONE! (Minus some accessories of course) Just got back from my first real ride and she's a monster! I feel bad for the front tire, it never even gets to see the pavement :) Wanted to say thanks to everyone. Throughout the entire ordeal I've been using this site as an info source for many things. As an added bonus, I've learned a boatload about motorcycle electronics and maintenance, especially with all these wacky euro wire colors. Now when I can get to learning how to check valves my expensive hobby will get that much cheaper. While I'm here, anyone know where I can find some nice bark busters with mirrors on them? I'm breaking my neck checking my rear and the tall screw on mirrors look a tad goofy to me.

Appreciate the link, thanks! As for the stator I caved and just waited it out for a new stock ducati stator, it came with a new flywheel so I just went for it. Install was a breeze, took less than an hour and I haven't had a single problem with it stalling since. Even after my battery crapping out over the winter she kicks over like a 2 stroke now. I think with the low mileage this is a bike I'll be hanging on to for a very long time. I can't stop riding it! Now once all that snow melts.. I can't wait to see how it compares in the woods to my old 250sx.
 
Well well, it's seems I've come across the same old problem once again. This time, my battery is getting charged yet the bike is still stalling when it's hot. The reg, rect works fine it seems as well as the new stator. The battery is new but even after 30 minutes of riding it still has a healthy charge and is reading 13+volts at idle. From the looks of it my carb boot seems to be cracked and not sitting on the carb correctly. I remember removing and replacing the carb originally and all the trouble I had trying to fit it back in there. Tomorrow I'm going to test for leaks on the boot and check the plug to see if it's running lean. I'm willing to buy a new boot to fix this, but if I can't solve it I'm going to have to go for the ultimate fix.... A trade in. Unfortunately that will mean another summer of no riding because I'm not made of money. This sucks, I really loved this bike too.

Yep, it's the boot. sprayed ether on it and the bike idled right on up. I guess Monday I'll be putting an order into halls for a new boot and hopefully I can salvage this spring.

Great news about discovering the issue! I think the heat causes some (not all) failing intake boots to expand and reveal the holes that let the air in and lean the bike out.

If you stay around the board, and someone posts about rough running, you will become that guy that says "Check your intake boot!"
 
Haha, at this point I think I'll have an entire bible of issues to read off. I'm gonna lose a few days of riding but hopefully this will be the last repair leftover from the previous owner. I'd like to screw my bike up with my own mishaps for once!
