  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 2002 cr 250 steering head washer

are you taking about where it fits with the steering bearings?
if so, in the assembly it fits on top of the upper bearing then the nut goes on top then the upper triple clamp then the final nut

Yes thats the washer. I found it in my parts washer so I wasn't sure. Ok then on top of bearing, then seal and nut with flange facing down then clamp! Thanks Premo.

I forgot those have a separate top seal, it might go on top of the seal, it will be obvious if the bearing is in and there is only room for the seal to the frame the washer goes on top if you place the washer first and the seal has a gap to the frame, hope you get what i mean there

Thanks for the info .I will check the seal location to the frame.
 
Everyone we ever take off is wrong sometimes the washer is on 1st, sometimes it’s on the top of the top seal, sometimes it’s on top of the ring nut all wrong
Correct way in order from bottom triple clamp to top
1st seal
2nd washer
3rd bottom bearing
Slide the clamp and steering stem into frame head stock
4th top bearing
5th top seal
6th ring nut
7th top clamp
8th retaining but
Hope that helps

Sonny ,that makes sense since I didn't see washer until I found it in parts washer. It was on bottom clamp. If I want put it correct I have to pull my new bearing off bottom clamp again. That sucks! Thank you for your time to set it straight, Al
 
Oh no sorry to hear that it’s a bit of a pain we usually press the pin out and back in to save destroying the new bearing but usually we are scrapping the bearing so we cut the rollers off and use motion pro puller
 
I have forgot the washer before, the bearings will not tighten up with out it. It was a bummer to remove the bearing from the stem. I usually put the washer on first now but most of my work has been with the enduro style bearings that have the seal incorporated on the bearing.

I was thinking that husky kinda screwed this up. The correct way is what Sonny is saying but that means less seal around bearing but it's only 040 thousands. I guess washer first ain't a bad idea. Just wondering if putting washer on top of upper seal is all that bad? Any comments? Thanks guy's you really help.
