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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Someone with a little more experience with this bike maybe could help....power valve cover leaks, bolts are tight, it's on the right side PV cover behind the pipe....also the chain block sliders lock nuts keep backing out....what can I do about that?? Twice today alone....
 
ok, I'll locktite them, just never have had to locktite them on any other bike I have owned so that's new to me....have any idea on the torque to tighten the PV cover to?
 
8-15nm probably.... no reason to hang off them, theyre only small. My dad always said "a good man knows when a bolt is tight enough".
ive snapped countless bolts now :confused:so i guess im no good.

I agree with your dad and almost never use a torque wrench as the threads need to be perfect, clean and not lubed to be right. Seen a lot of people lube a bolt and go to torque it and snap. Once you lube or loc-tite them all specs are out the window. Once you get a feel for tight by hand it is all good.
 
Ok well i just bought a new TC449 today so ill put the bike on the stand and get to it here shortly....I'm going to make this bike (the wr300) a single track weapon, so I ordered I'm ordering a hi comp head and a new pipe, already have the keihin carb....should be awesome!
 
6mm bolts, 3 finger snug with a small combo wrench. that's it. if its leaking the cover may be warped or damaged. check for flat and perfect surfaces before installing new gasket.

chain aduster bolts. put a 8mm wrench in the chain, spin back the wheel so the chain is slackless and tap the blocks forward with a plastic mallet if nec. this snugs the axle blocks to the adjuster bolts....now torque the axle nut. remove the 8mm wrench then gently snug the 10mm bolt head back a tick against the block to load it, then, hold it there with a 10mm wrench and snug the 12mm nut against the arm. never use loctite on the chain adjsuter bolts- remove them, spritz penetrant in the arm hole then grease the bolts and nuts good. ive never had one come loose doing this.
