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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc 04 cr125 front wheel axle wrench

Just pulled the wheel on my son's (new to us) 04 cr125 and noticed that I was having a hard time getting the axle nut torqued back just because the axle turned when I cranked the nut.

The axle wrench tool which came with the bike when really brand new, did not come with this bike so I am wondering what everybody else does in this situation?

I ended up using the claw end of a hammer (I was gentle) in the recesses on the axle to put enough bind on the axle to get it to torque but don't plan on carrying the hammer on trail rides.

I wish the front axle on the 04 was like the one on my 300 with the pre-attached handle!
 
Tighten the far side pinch bolts to hold the axle when tightening the nut, then release it and align forks and re-tighten.
 
thanks, I figured there was an easy fix.:thumbsup:

I knew someone smarter than me would have an answer.
 
I have several of the tools you speak of, send me a PM with your info and I will send you one of them, I really only need one of them!
