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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2006 Te 450 Oil Level

Hey folks!
New to the board here. 1st time posting. I have the bike mentioned in the title and can’t seem to get my screw that used to check the oil level to come out. It appears it was a 5mm hex before some jerk before me stripped it to hell. I’m able to get a grip with a rubber band and an Allen wrench but the bolt just free spins. I’ve made sure to turn enough times to know somethings not right but now I’m worried about little metal shavings getting in my oil and gears. Anyone have any ideas? I thought about drilling it out but that seems like it should be last resort. Thanks in advance!
 
You could clean it up and glue an allen key into the head so you can pull while turning to get it out. You will need to drill and tap to put a coil / insert (or bigger screw) in.
 
Use a drill as small as you can, sligthly bigger than the Allen key. Hammer down a Torx key of right dimension and unscrew. Broblem solved .
