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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

God .. I hate my TE kickstand

I have an 07 TE 250 as well, and I've only just noticed the kickstand swinging too far forward. For the first year and a half of ownership, it was just fine. But something happened in the last few months. It's all tightened back there, so I have no idea what's going on.

I know... it pisses me off... check your kickstand screw first. If it's loose red locktite that pup.

Same thing for my 2006 TE250. But no matter how tight that bolt is I still goes too tar forward.

My bike was lowered 1.5" and the kickstand was way too long because of that, now it is barely long enough on flat ground. :confused:
 
I had the same problem with my '07 TE450. Over time, the kickstand became about 3" too short, as you can see in this photo of 2-2x4s under the kickstand.

Then I saw how another guy had fixed his for when he switched from SM wheels to off-road and back again. He made his kickstand adjustable. I asked him to do it for me and he did. Cost $40.
The photo may be a bit hard to see, but there are 3 adjustment holes and a spring pin pops into whichever you choose for whichever length you want.

i saw on thumpertalk that motosportz make a replacement, but its not on thier website.

This is a shit design on all modern huskys, 05-09 they all suck.
