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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st bent tank bolt?

anyone else manage to bend the long bolt that holds the tank on in the middle (09 wr300)?

The wind blew my bike over while out marking course for our poker run, and now the bolt seems slightly bent. I meant to bring it to work with me so I could stop and get a replacement at the local bolt place, anyone have one handy they could measure and get the specs on?
 
I can pull and measure mine in an hour or so.... once this damn conference call ends!

You're the first I've heard of this happening. Trendsetter :thumbsup:
 
awesome, you guys rock.

I think since the tank was full, when it suddenly stopped on the ground it just overstressed the bolt. kinda weird, but that's my life. My ktm 200 also blew over on sunday, doing sweep on the course, and kickstand ( which had already lost its foot) bent and cracked near the pivot. at leastl that bike has 9500 miles on it tho.

I do not know about your bike BUT on the 2006 CR 125 it has a longer stud and a shorter bolt then my 2008 CR 125 which has a shorter stud welded to the fram then a longer bolt with a spacer .I bend my bolt on the 2008 alot so so next time i am going to cut the stud off the fram and make a longer one with a shorter bolt like the 2006 set upThe 2006 bike i have never had to replace the bolt My 2006 WR 250 2006 Cr 125 and 2006 TE 510 are all the same and all seem to work all the gas tanks interchange but the 2008 they changed the set up
