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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2004 TE450 Shim Diameter?

Hey guys I need to adjust the valves on my 04 te450, does anyone know the shim size? I think its 7.48mm and the 05s and up are 9.48mm. Can someone please confirm this for me? Thanks!
 
I am 99.8% sure that is correct. 7.48mm for pre-2005 bikes.

It has been a while since I've thought about that, so things are a bit foggy.

Can anyone else give input?
 
Thanks Coffee, I looked around online too and it seems to be the consensus. :thumbsup: Is there a maximum shim size I should be looking at before I replace the valves by the way? I'm new to shims and valves etc. I know some people have mentioned the valves getting worn out, I figure next season i'll drop some nice stainless valves in.
 
Well my intakes are pretty much at the limit for shim sizes, 1.7 for the right one and 1.55 for the left to get them to 0.006. I'm pulling the head and putting stainless steel valves in and going to throw a new piston and rings in while i'm at it. Should run great afterwards i'm sure.
