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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi all ive just got myself another 07 Wr 250. But when i was going through the bike and taking the skid plate off i noticed it was wet around the drain plug. It looks like the plug was put in without the sealing washer and damaged the thread. The question is does anyone know what the thread pitch is, so maybe i could look at trying to clean up the internal thread in the cases. Or maybe get the right timesert threaded inserted into the cases. Ive already ordered a new drain and washer from my local husky dealer but im expecting the worst. The bike is in really good condition apart from this minor problem.
 
Once you get it sorted change the oil by removing clutch cover, this cover has a o-ring gasket so saves time taking sump plate off etc.
 
Thanks guys for the ideas, but what i really need is to know what the tread pitch is on the drain plug so i can order the right time cert kit.
 
If the thread is damaged I wouldn't bother cleaning it up I would be banging a time sert straight a lot stronger and you won't be neverous doing or undoing your drain bolt in the future but sorry I can't help you on the thread pitch
 
Just a quick update the new drain plug came today from my husky dealer. And as luck as it the internal thread on the cases turned out to be in good shape. So it was a case of fit the new drain plug and sealing washer and fill with oil and test, and im please to say no oil leaks. i think i got way lucky on this one. Thanks again for everyones input
