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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

There is one for sale locally for $2200. Are they decent bikes? I am looking for a 4 stroke for woods riding.
 
They are a very reliable ride. Of course much will depend on the life and maintenance of this bike in the years since it rolled off the line. The price is nice but, do your due dilligence. Have a good look over her, remove the seat and look into the air box, is it clean. Does she start from cold easily, does she blow smoke. are the wheel bearings sound. Any failings here will indicate that good money is required to set her right. Take her for a demo ride, how do the forks and brakes feel, does the engine sound fine under load. Check the fork legs after the ride for fluid. By now you should know what you have.
 
Thanks. The pictures look good and it is close to where I work, so I'll go and look at it. For that much money it would be nice to have an e-start 4 stroke for ripping around on... :D
 
The 04s had valves with narrow stems which tended to stretch quite quickly meaning you ran out of clearance quickly or worse still the valves broke...

There was a factory campaign to replace the heads with 05 spec which had thicker stem valves so it would be worth trying to ascertain if this mod has been done.
