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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc BRP Chain Guide on older WR250

In case anyone ever wondered about the fitment of the BRP chain guide on an older WR, here it is. BRP does not list that this guide will work on a 1999. Everything looked close enough so I ordered one. Mounting holes lined up perfectly. In my case I'm running a pretty large rear sprocket (don't recall if its a 52 or 54 tooth) so i trimmed about 1/4 inch from the center bottom rear of the chain guide with a dremel just to have a bit more clearance. You don't see this cosmetically either when it is mounted.

It works perfectly, less drag than the stock guide, better protection from rock damage, and I know it will be very durable based on how difficult it was to cut with the Dremel!

The BRP part # is CGD-9221-B (B is for black I believe since it comes in red also). The earliest year BRP lists is 2004. If it weren't for my larger rear sprocket I probably wouldn't have had to trim a little from the rear center section.
