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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Oil change, did I lose a part?

Just doing my first oil change on my new to me te630. I pulled the plugs last night, got distracted, now I'm putting it back together and I can't find a crush washer for the big drain with the magnet on it. Checked the oil pan. Nothing. I can't remember if there was one on ot when I took it off last night. Is it supposed to have one?
 
Damn it. Not in the oil pan, not on the plug, and not stuck to the case. So either i lost it some other way, or the po never put one back on. It still had oil in it lol. Now, where to find a new one. Anyone source one from a more common bike/dealer?
 
Your local auto parts store (NAPA, Autozone, Pep Boys, etc) should have a whole section full of drain plugs and crush washers. I got a replacement for mine there. In a pinch you can probably cut one from gasket material.
