  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 165 oil change ?

Take the factory skid plate off, it covers the bolt. Or use a hole saw and cut a hole where you need to get a socket through to get access to the drain bolt. It's right in the middle of the underbelly of the engine. I just left my skid plate off, don't really need it.

Drain it, put the bolt back in, refill with approx 700mL of ATF Type F oil. Watch the sight glass on the side of the clutch cover and try to keep from letting the oil get more than half way up the glass. I've tried the expensive gearbox oils and my bike shifts better and the clutch feels significantly less grabby with cheap ATF Type F oil.. Needs to be changed more frequently than synthetic gear lube though.

Type f? I got nulon stuff that says type t. He reckons f means ford! Sound right?
 
Any motorcycle-grade 10W-40 oil will be fine too. I just use the same 10W-40 oil (Motorex, Maxima, Mobil, whatever) that I use in some of my other bikes.
 
Im using motul at the moment and feel like it should race shift better. Clutch drag makes it hard to start in gear too. Thought I might try atf.
