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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have a 2013 TXC 250R.

I keep very detailed maintenance records and notes. I have 125 hours on the bike and just finished up a valve adjustment.(not the first one)

I use only a .10mm, .15mm, .20mm and .25mm feeler gauge and only adjust the shim size if the one to large or too small fits and adjust accordingly. So I don't ever know the exact measurements, just the range with a go no go method.

In any event after 125 hours, only one exhaust shim and one Intake shim has been changed to keep the valve in adjustment. Bike runs great and has no major work, just thorough maintenance.

I'm very impressed with the wear on this. Bike is raced year round even ice racing. High RPM and rev limiters are seen often. Not a bike I baby, but I keep it on top shape.

Stock the bike had 190 shims in all 4 valves. Now it has 195 190 185 190. So the only 2 that have needed adjustment only needed 1 step. Very impressed!

Happy Husky Rider Over Here
 
I do believe the TE ans TXC redheads have stainless valves from the factory. The TC redheads have Titanium. Big difference in price between them.
