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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

they are flaking pieces of excess glue keeping magnets to flywheel. i did not see mine popping off but all glue flaked away now. not bothered - cleaned oil filters and using bike as normal..
 
excess glue keeping magnets on flywheel. nothing bad. clean it all and inspect flywheel of magnets keeping in places
 
Here's a pic. They are flat brittle and color is orange / yellow

Thanks guys, Strange but it makes sense. Based on the oil flow scematic, and where it was located in the filter, the stuff came from ignition side of the engine. I was thinking plastic from a chain cam tensioner but since I've never had it apart I didn't know if there were plastic components in there. Closer inpection reveals that it's too brittle to be a plastic component. So glue makes sense
Thanks again ****************************************!
 
they are orange n most cases, mine popped out and magnets still on place but i have heard about loose magnets.. worth to inspect when oil is out...

as you can see on picture on lhs there is bit left...

OK... I finally realized why I was confused, there were 2 virtually identical threads started by the same person at about the same time - there was probably a technical issue with the site.

I merged the 2 threads to avoid more confusion. Hope that is ok.
 
Yes, that was me. The first time I posted I got an error message that said failure due to data base conflict. I backed up and re-entered and then their were 2 identical posts. Sorry for the confusion
