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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc Bent front brake rotor

Was doing some enduro cross on 2008 cr165 yesterday which was fun but while loading bike notice something was dragging which I thought was front wheel bearings but after closer inspection and taking front brake rotor off tire rotates fine and can see brake rotor is bent a little. My question is can the brake rotor be flatten straight again at machine shop or is it better to just buy a new. Thanks for any help.
 
I have straightened a fair few, I leave them on the bike and use a large adjustable spanner (wrench to you lot) If you take it off and try it never seems to end up true, Well not for me anyhows LOL
 
I also was able to bend mine back with an adjustable wrench aka Crescent wrench. I can't even tell it was bent.
 
You can never make it perfect so you might feel a pulse in the lever and wear pads quicker but it can be done to some extent.
 
It really bad in that there is more than one bend so I will just buy a new one. I am planning on selling bike after this season is done and was trying to chaep out but like most things it better to fix it right I guess.
 
I did try to bend it back and did get wheel to rotate about 3 -4 turns with one big push but still rubbing a little. Might jut try it again even though I have a new one comming. That endurocross stuff is hard on bike parts but fun.

Maybe you should consider a bullet proof rotor guard that Motosportz sells they look dynamite.
 
you can get it fairly right with a adjustable spanner yet to make it perfect you have to give it a go with a lathe machine.
The problem is if the disk is already a fair bit in its life or not straight enough you end up with a disk that is true but to thin to be considered safe.

personally I did this only one time and it works perfectly for me at that time.
