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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Blue loctite. Starting to sound like a KLR! :)

Does the clutch safety switch fail often or something? I tend to leave stuff like that alone unless it creates a problem.

It's a 5 minute fix. Why wait for it to go bad out in gods country?

Does this bike have a kickstand kill switch?

Not required with auto retract.

Is there a place to put a zerk fitting to lube the steering head? I thought I saw something about that but can't find it/remember if it is for this bike.

Could be done, but won't work too well, because of the steering lock. Once packed properly with grease and assuming the tank vent isn't routed thru the steering post and the hole in the top of the post is plugged with silicone, the bearings will be fine for at least a couple years.

Along those lines, has anyone put in zerk fittings for the rear suspension (nice feature on the old XR, kept her from groaning too much)?

Funny you should ask:

Coffee linked me to stuff on TT. His stuff and it was great, helped with the mod section and handling the idle mixture. Also protection stuff.

I have been trying to check the Husky site for manuals (the guy does have the owner's manual for me) but either Husky is really a popular bike and their site can't handle their popularity, or they only allow one person on at one time!

Other questions are still pertinent...

Hey midengineracer could you forward that info on mod and mixture to me?
thanks
