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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

610 rear shock bushings

Hi All,
I'm doing some maintenance on my rear shock and swingarm linkages on my sm610 after about 8500kms (mostly road riding +3% dirt). I noticed that both the top and bottom rear shock bolt have about 0.5 mm of radial play in the upper/lower shock bushing. Wanted to find out if this is normal?

If I need to replace both the top and lower shock bushes, are there any recommendations ie just replace with the same OEM bushings, or is there some better aftermarket alternative?

Did a search here on bushings, found a few threads, but wasn't totally clear if this radial play is worth worrying about.

Thanks.
