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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

How many hours have u put on this season (May to present?)

AA Class
51 hrs. Reason for posting is to get an idea on whether this is low/normal/high. Given I put this many hours on this bike, I now feel waaaaaay more comfortable with the fact that the valve clearance needed adjustment and a rebuild will be done to ensure NEXT season is spent riding vs getting fixed up from a catastrophic failure ;)
 
May-Oct = 32 day rides, average 75 miles per ride, total 2400 miles, somewhere around 50-60 hours.

Of course, I rode a bunch in the Jan-April time frame.
 
62 Hours on my TE310 (1400 miles) 7800 miles on my Super Tenere and 3300 on the DR650. No mileage or hour meter on the kids crf100 but I ride the crap out of it around the neighborhood...LOL

Beauty. What kind of maintenance do you advocate after this amount of time...any tips appreciated. My fork needs a rebuild and am looking to do this myself. Wondering if I should be replacing top end as I do have a leak at the base gasket where head meets case so....figure I should do this and while opened up have a peek at valves (replace as needed).
 
Not enough this year, work and other good stuff have kept me out the saddle this year. Id say maybe 15 hrs at the most.

After what amount of time? I'm the wrong guy to ask about maintenance rebuilds, I have 16,000 miles and no top end yet, compression is good, does not use oil.

Base gasket is where cylinder meets cases, sometimes that leaks because one or more of the head bolts are loose.
 
1600 hard miles since sept1. I have no idea how many hours that represents. Planning on checking valves very soon.

I'm finding my "tell" for valve clearance checks is the onset of difficult e-start...seems to be a good guide to follow as my exhaust valve is now telling me it's time to retire ;)
