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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

144 power valve dowel pin

I am installing a 144 kit. The new cylinder does not come with the dowel pin that holds the power valve shaft at one end. I am hoping to use the one from the 125 cylinder but cannot get it out. Does anyone have a trick for removing this dowel pin or am I stuck ordering a new one?
 
I remember a few posts about this a couple of years ago when the kits first came out . I think you may be able use a drill bit cut down to suit
 
I was looking at the stock 125 cylinder that came on my CR and it does not have the dowel pin in it. Does it need this pin to run right? What exactly is its purpose?
 
The pin is there to keep the power valve shaft in place. Without it the shaft could move out of position. The bike should run fine without it, but if the shaft was to work its way out your power valve would get hung up.
