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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Grease nipples on rear suspension linkages

What year did they stop installing these?
I have a 11' TE310 and it doesn't come with them, but my old 01 WR 250 had them.
I would grease them every ride as a precaution.
Has anyone put nipples on new type linkages and if so , is it hard to do?, is there a drilling already through to the top mount so that you don't need one also at the top?

Also I miss having axle pulls, does anyone make them specifically for Huskys?

This thread covers the topic somewhat;

Read the Thumpertalk link. It's not for the latest version of the rear linkage, but will give you a good idea of what's involved. The swingarm pivot is the same however.
 
I drilled and installed grease fittings on the linkage of my 09 TE450. Was pretty easy. Still need to do the swingarm bearings, but considering a couple "best options" on how, exactly, to do it. Also switched to new needle bearings with the grease hole where that was needed (lower shock bearing, I think??). Ordered them from a bearing house, was not expensive.
