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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc Heads Up!

Anyone converting from the WR 125 ignition to the CR Ignition. Watch your base gaskets. I did both 125's and both bikes pushed the base gasket out in the back of cylinder shortly after installing the CR ignition.

The first one, I had to take apart. Clean the surfaces with contact cleaner, put a new one on with no adhesives (Dry)/retorqued to specs. No problems since, it's been fine.

The second bike, I noticed some pinging and a lean idle last night. I looked at the cylinder base and bingo, it is starting to come out. It was installed, clean, dry, no sealers as well.

Go figure?
 
Darin,

Thats interesting. I haven't seen anything like that on mine but there isn't the same pressures at my altitude.
