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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Looking at maybe buying a 2005 wr250 as a bit of a fixer upper
is there anything in particular to look out for ?
is a leaking sprocket gasket a big job to fix?
:cheers:
 
There is a seal and an o-ring behind the countershaft collar.

I''ve never changed it with the motor intact but I guess the difficult part could be pulling the collar out.

After that just pry out the seal and replace it and the oring. I'd add a new collar too.
 
very solid bike. Like with any used bike check the wheel bearings, chain and sprocket, compression and nuts and bolts before riding. The CS seal is EZ. Take the sprocket off, remove the collar, replace the seal and O-ring, reassemble. If the collar has a deep groove in it replace it to. Motors are VERY solid and usually the worse it will need is a new piston and rings. Good bike with OK forks.
