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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Bent Cam? Bearings??

Greetings!

I have an ‘06 Smr510 that broke a cam yoke when the piston hit the valve and poped the cam out. I got a newish head and valves off another bike and the intake cam is binding now. I was thinking a cam bearing replacement would solve the issue but now am wondering if the cam is bent? Bearing seems smooth until I torque the caps down. Then cam binds when spun. Should I just look for a new cam or try bearing change? I guess I should ask a dial indicator this question! Lol
 
Exactly! If you can check the runout that's a good start. You're using the new head right? Can you get the cam too? Also try perhaps installing the other (exhaust) cam with no valves to compare?
 
Check cam for run out, replace cam bearings (non Chinese).
Were the bearing caps from the SAME head?
If not remove the guide sleeves from cam caps on the cam that binds.
Try it. Just might work.
Later George
