  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Cylinder Nut Size

What size are the cylinder nuts? 13mm is too small, 14mm is a hair too big (and rounds off the nuts). Standard sizes do not fit either. Head shape is too funky to get a socket on them.
 
I haven't looked at my 2011 recently, but the last time that I rebuilt the top end, I didn't have any problems with the cylinder base nuts. Standard metric. Should be the same hardware on your bike. I'll go over to storage and double check the size when I get a chance.
 
I went over to the storage unit today and checked out the hardware size. The cylinder base nuts are 14mm. They do seem to be alittle easy to slip off of, so choose your wrench wisely and make sure to keep constant downward pressure on it.
 
Once you get them removed, It might be time to go with new ones, and get yourself a 6-point box wrench for just that location.
