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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2004 TE250 Front brake sticking

W

Wadda

Husqvarna
C Class
The front brake on my TE250 is not releasing right. When the bike it on the stand there is a lot of resistence when I spin the front wheel. With the caliper off theres no resistence spinning the wheel and the brake pads are hard to push apart to refit the caliper to the bike.
Does anyone know what could be the problem? And how hard is it to fix myself?
 
check & see if the "clips" are still in the caliper...the Clips are metal & are where the top of the pads slide into the caliper....next check the piston at the caliper for dirt or gunk at the seal that would keep the piston from moving freely. Is the rotor warped?? One more thing I can think of would be how long has it been since you rebuilt your master cylinder???? I'm sure someone with more experience will catch anything I may have left off, but those are 4 things that in the past have resulted in a little stiction in the brakes for me.
