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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

'07 TE 250, Greasing the dog bones

I've always called them dog bones. The rear shock linkage. I notice my Husky has Zerk fittings! What kind of grease works well in there? I was just going to load up my grease gun with Belray Waterproof and crank away.
 
there's one pivot point that doesn't have a grease nipple, it wouldn't last long as you climb over logs etc. anyway but to grease that link properly you need to pull it apart.
it's worth doing, when i bought my 07 i did and found the bearing rollers mostly non existent, replaced and greased it's been fine since but i still anually grease it.
 
Will do! I pulled apart the dogbones on my 2000 Montesa Cota 315R and pretty much poured out iron oxide powder! Sure rode smoother after I replaced the bearings. I'm guessing All-Balls if I need anything? Thanks for the responses. Been out of town making it hard to reply.
