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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Have any of you guys got any of your favourite maintenace techniques you would like to share?
We may have heard of them before but some havent and its good to hear little tricks.

For example
For quick gearbox oil changes
I use a 1 litre plastic dispenser ( $5 from Kmart ) which has measurements on the side and a sauce bottle like spout
so you can just pour it straight into the gearbox with no measuring and funnels
 
Cool tip thats easier than my RATIO cup / funnel method. Thanks so shaing and starting a helpful thread.
 
'10 TE/TXC/TC when changing the oil. Get a generic triangle from a Yamaha that will fit the right hand side of the axle. This way all the oil comes out and you don't have to lean the bike with oily hands.

WR 250/300 owners: Be sure to crimp the clutch cable clamp that goes onto the motor. Nothing worse than showing up on the line and have the feel of a broken clutch cable. Been there done that. Get a cable luber and lube the clutch cable often.
