• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 upper chain roller lifespan

1996 WXC 610.

What kind of lifespan is normal for the upper chain roller?

So far, I have had 3 completely fall apart: the one that was on it when I purchased it lasted 2 rides, a new OEM replacement lasted about 12 rides, and a spare YZ450 roller only lasted 1 ride.
 
Well, like the last thread I started, it soon turns into another issue... I changed the oil today and stuck on the end of the magnet was a piece of what I think is 6th gear.

The gear in the picture is just one on ebay I am using as a reference point. Sure looks like one of those side lobes.

Does anyone know how critical those are? Would it be ok, with just the remaining 3? I’ve never used 6th gear before, if that is indeed where it came from.

Not sure what would have caused it to break, I normally ride pretty much in 3rd gear about 90% of the time.
