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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Testing a Lectron on a modern 4 stroke shortly

Anxiously waiting for updates on this. I've got an 04 TE250, 04 SM450R, 04 CR125, and 06 SM610. I would like to replace the Mik pumper carbs on the 250 and 450. I'm wondering if I can use the same Lectron 38mm carb with different needle/slides on the TE250 and CR125 and a 40mm Lectron for the 450 and 610. 2 carbs for 4 different bikes. Since I can only ride 1 at a time, I don't miind swapping carbs.
 
I would say just send me one and I'll sort out all the issues but with work being what it is right now I doubt that I could get to it any quicker than someone else.

I'm really trying to get one I can work on myself so I can understand all the issues / solutions first hand.
 
Still working on it. Kevin from Lectron is doing some mods for us to try. Cool stuff but don't want to rush it or let info out before we are done. Moving forward but a little slowly.
 
Is there any attempt made yet to fit the Lectron on the CRF 450?

I am looking at a good deal on one of these bikes (engine is overhauled with 5 Km on it)

I will transform it to a Street hooligan bike :D, and a Lectron would be nice for the millage improvement if it can be achieved with that

I have a CRF450 carb sitting here but have not had time to fit it up and test it out. Also Kevin from Lectron is doing a few 4 stroke dirt bike specific mods and I need to speak with him again. I will test it soon I hope.

Update:

Lots of 4 stroke testing happening. We have made some nice improvements for the 4 strokes. We are close to having product. The 4 strokes are far more critical for tuning the low end of the rod than a 2 stroke. That and the major vacuum the 4 stroke has on the slide were two issues to work out. these have both been addressed and the 4 stroke carb will have a adjustable low end circuit for idle and right off idle setting. Working fantastic on the couple of test bikes. More testing to do but getting it really close to being ready for sale.

thanks

great to hear. I'll be a test dummy for the 04-07 TC450 as soon as you get one sorted. Where do I send the monay? :)
 
I have a yz250f that I would love to fit one of these metering rod carbs to it if it offers a performance and response improvement. Im also looking at picking up a wxe360. A lectron on that sounds like a real hot ticket!

Really looking forward to reports. How's the low end response coming? A bog free carb will sell like hot cakes and if there is more power anywhere its just icing on the cake.
