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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc 09 WR almost finished, 2 questions.

Hey guys, been fixing up an 09 WR 250 and am almost done, just two probs. 1st, the rear brake rotor is loose. Bolts are tight, but it can move about a bit. Been wondering what the rattle was and just found it. Is it meant to be like that?

2nd, the factory odomiter has started adding '000 of km to it by itself. Speedo seems fine, but km have gone for 2000 to 5000 in about 100 km, any ideas? Thanks.
 
Yup, the rear rotor is most likely a floating rotor, and they do have some play, that could also cause some rattling. Totally normal. As for the Comp, no idea's sorry man... However, trailtech does have some good computers that are really capable of a lot of things these days. All depends how much $$ you wanna spend
 
This is why I love this forum. Thanks guys, have a trail tech X2 light and the comp has been on the to-do list for a while, now I have an excuse. I have tried hard to make my bike unique (murked out, almost Harley style 2-stroke for almost all on road use) and you guys have helped heaps. Thanks again.
 
I know it defeats the purpose of having a floating rotor but I added a few rubber O rings from the hardware store to stop the rotor from rattling as it was driving me crazy.Two years later,no rattles and the brake works fine.
