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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2001 TE400 Camshaft Replacement

Hello,

After a summer of riding intermittently I took my 400 to a local Husq shop thinking it only needed a tune up but after the diagnostic i was told i needed new rocker arms, rocker arm bearings, and a new camshaft. they told me they could get the rocker arms stuff but the cam was no longer being made but in stock overseas in italy. after months of waiting they finally told me that italy doesnt have it and that i'm SOL. i am wondering if anyone knows a custom fabricator or possibly knows of one around??? at this point anything helps.

thanks so much

Bryant,

Just a thought could you use a 610 cam and have it reground to 410 specks? I would ask Gorge at Up-Tite in CA. He would know if this is possible. Do a Google search and you will find his number. This parts supply scares me as I have a 2000 TE 410.

A long way from home but try HM Racing in UK, worth an email at least.
