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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Frozen Chain Adjuster Bolt

the chain adjuster bolt on my 1998 360 froze
had this happen on my 87 430, so won't make the same mistake again
this time I decided to be patient instead of breaking the bolt
so here's what I did
removed the plug in the side of the swing arm and put a whole can of penetrating oil in there
using a heat gun I waited for about 5 minutes and the bolt did not turn, kept going at about 9 minutes the bolt moved a tiny bit, left the heat on and began to wiggle it, pretty soon I was getting a 1/4 turn in and out so kept working that in and out
after about 15 minutes i was getting 2-3 turns in and out, kept working it till it was out
the aluminum threads look good and didn't have to drill anything or install an insert
this is in the 2 stroke section as it was one but will work on ANY bike
some don't have that convenient plug but most have a hole to heat vent the welding of the swing armIMG_6363.JPGIMG_6366.JPGIMG_6365.JPGIMG_6364.JPG
 
That's why I love my welding machines! (TIG and MIG)

Same thing happened on my WR, I just welded a small blob on the end of the bolt with lots of heat, and the heat did the job.
But if you don't have any welding equipment your solution will work fine :thumbsup:
