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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Drop Link & Drag Link Bearing Service TE 310

How often to clean/grease the bearings?

The WSM states for racing Lube @ 10 hrs otherwise Check @ 6k miles.

I pulled one Drag Link bushing and of course there was dirt in the groove of the rubber seal. The Bearing appeared clean. Was able to clean the dirt from the seal with a Q-tip.

I am tempted to do the same to the rest. Add grease to the bushings and bolts then reassemble.
 
I generally pull the swingarm and linkage down twice a year, maybe one more time if the riding has been consistently wet and muddy. Generally the steering stem head bearings once-twice a year. I always use heaps of waterproof marine grade bearing grease.
