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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Check torque on those rotor bolts also!

Putting air in the tires today and the air hose happened to hit the rear rotor. Made a ting sound which alerted me to check rotor bolts again. Not even 2K miles yet and 2 of the 4 bolts were loose enough to allow the rotor to resonate against the hub and a third bolt was not properly torqued.

It's not just the sprocket bolts check and double check all fasteners frequently. This has now convinced me to be the first bike ever I will use the paint mark indexing system on.

Keep in mind that the torque setting on the rotors is far, far lighter than sprockets! You can easily rip the threads in the hub. Use locktite and don't over-tighten them...they go into cast aluminum.

Locktite is our best friend...
