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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc 2014 WR300, another failed Ducati ignition....

Well, the ignition didn't fail, but it wouldn't really run clean like it did before. So, after looking at all my options, I sold the WR300 a couple of weeks ago. I bought a 2021 Sherco 300SE Factory. Will hopefully pick it up this weekend.

Will still hang around here from time to time, but I wanted to say thanks for all the great advice I received here over the last five years.

Just to add an option for people fighting your same issue. I purchased the HPI kit for the WR, the external rotor with lighting coil. I have never had such a bright blue spark at kicking speed. It works great! I do recommend the fly wheel weight due to the rotor being much smaller than the OEM. Even with the flywheel weight, it is less than OEM but I really enjoy the response!! in terms of reliability, I have not had the system on long. but I have HPI's on my 2 stroke road race bikes with zero issues. My Dad also runs one on his IT175 that he vintage races.
