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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

OK, first post, I'm new and I am about to meet a gentleman about a 2000 WR250. I rode bikes as a kid and was looking at a yamaha ttr230 and a yz250f but the guy with the yz said that this is a much better trail bike which is what i am going to be using it for. When i check it out what are some key things I should be looking for. Obviously when was last rebuild, I was told if real easy to kick the engine doesn't have good compression. Anything I should keep an eye out for, anyhingn with suspension etc. Sorry for all the stupid questions, I know I sound ignorant and that is because I am mostly so any helpful advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks
