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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

630 Cam Chain & Tensioner Replacement

Just measured my new sdh that I got for my 610; 128.7 between 21 pins. The link length must be shorter and it's also a single cam.

This procedure is for reinstalling the tensioner back after you have taken it out. Not about adjusting it.
You should not have to adjust an automatic tensioner.

The tensioner doesn't get oil flow and can get stuck/rust in. Old kwaks had this problem taking out cleaning and greasing would take care of it.
 
Bumping old thread,but does it matter? 60 thousand km,and cam chain has minimal wear. old 150.1mm(did o4 sdh), new swm (d.i.d scr/sv)149.5mm. measured between pins.
 
Wow- that’s a lot of miles. Mine has 26,000 miles (so about 42 kms) and I’ve never checked mine. Runs great- and it’s been ridden hard for those miles. I’m sure we’ll get piled on for not replacing it. :)

As to your question- sorry I’m not more help. My guess, though, is that such little difference should be fine.
 
Heh,question was does it matter if answering old thread :). Some forums it does matter...
There is no service limit in 630 manual(just replace if needed),but i found somewhere else that it was much more than that. i think it was some older husky using same chain. Or d.i.d site.
I did change it,mainly because i had new in shelf,and i dont think i will ever need it if not used now... In next 60k km i will know if new version is as good as original was :) Cam chain guides were also like new,as was piston.
 
Ha- that’s what I get for reading too quick (regarding the “does it matter” thing. :)

Great to hear about the guides and piston- thanks. It’s a tough engine…that’s for sure.
