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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anyone swap the stock reed valve out for a Boyesen Rad Valve or Vforce4?

If so what kind of benefits have you experienced.

Also running a Lectron.

thanks,

Not done this on a modern bike, but 'back in the day' used 'performance reeds, and they had no detectable affect over stock. Maybe on a dyno there is a difference, but not seat of the pants.
Bearing in mind these bikes use Boyesen or V-Force as stock, I doubt any differences will be much, unless the old reeds are worn out. In which case the bottom end response will be nicely cleaned up.
 
i put Boyesens Duel stage reeds in my 79 250WR guess it was 81 or 2 best 20 bucks i ever spent on that bike... boy i just dated myself HAHA
 
Yes i fitted boysen rad valve to my TE '14 250 and made a big difference in throttle response - i should also add my stock reed cage housing i.e. the plastic was defective as petals would not sit flush. My dealer offered to replace but that also had same issue.

Same issue on '17 bikes - KTM/Husky using same manufacturing process via their suppliers - I'm convinced it's a flaw and why people struggle with jetting.
 
I was considering doing the vforce on mine but a good friend of mine had problems getting his sealed up and I have read a few times that this isn't uncommon. Anyone here have issues like this (aside from the stockers haha)
 
When I started jetting mine. I was researching jetting on the Ktm's.
I came across a video showing a guy holding one up to light.

I checked mine and it was fine.

I would definately keep an eye on them.
