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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Back Bleeding front Brake - the easy way.

Slowpoke

Husqvarna
AA Class
I had to back bleed my front brake, as it has always been soft and didn't have good stopping power.

I suspected air in the line & in order to properly back bleed the line/master cyl., you need to raise the master cyl. up and to the left, so that it becomes the highest point.
I was doing this by myself and normally an extra pair of hands can be of help on this job.
To solve this, I used my Ram Mount & arm for my GPS to hold the Master cyl in place while I fussed with the bleeding procedure. The Ram mount ball was already on the right side of the handlebar, so that saved a bit of fiddling around.
Worked well, see pic;


Also, the front brake now works a lot better.:)
