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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ok,
My son and I have been working on his cr this fall/winter. Just doing some basic maintenance stuff-break pads/fluid, bearings, pipe repair and muffler repack and changing all the fluids to get ready for spring and or late winter riding if we get the chance.

This bike is new to us this summer and was ridden very gently by him as we are trail riders almost 100% of the time.

The question I have now is should I pull the cylinder and check the piston as well? This bike runs excellent starts 2nd kick for him and 1st for me. I haven't compression tested it yet (I will do this) but I didn't have a base line so not too sure if that will give me the info I need. I don't want to be lazy but I also hesitate to break something that's already fixed...

I don't know if this matters or not but it has the pwk carb and I plan to put a flywheel weight on it as well.

Any advice?
 
Pull the pipe and inspect the piston through the exhaust port. You will be able to see if there has been blow by causing discoloring or carbon build up on the piston below the rings.
