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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I just realized I never bothered to look at the total miles on my Trailtech explorers computer. I have had it a year and it was reading 1500 miles as of today. Got the bike two years before. I am on original piston.
So..
-perfect compression
-starts up on frist second kick everytime
-runs frickin awesome
-approximately 4500 ish miles
-original piston

All i ever did was clean air filter and change gear oil and go. Should i give her a new top end or leave it as long as it runs good and has good compression?
 
I don't see the harm in leaving it as long as your using a compression tester and not the "feel" technique.

Could do a re-ring and check things out if you want to.
 
I believe it's a cast piston, correct me if I'm wrong. Pretty sure OE is vertex, which is cast.With that many miles I'd be worried about breaking a skirt.
 
I seem to remember there was a guy on tt a while ago that had a 250 with around 8500 mles on a signle piston. Not that I would go that long but man...
 
Vertex is the stock piston. It's a coated piston & I found after about 20 hours that the coating on mine was wearing. I just replaced it and away I went! Its worth taking a look at, very simple task.
