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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I actually remember riding this bike back when I was in the Marines and he was a 15 year old kid...has a somewhat Rusty Pro Circuit Pipe for it to...!

So where am I going to fit another project bike...??? my wife thinks I'm crazy as is...

Damn you Kelly**************************************** That is one sweet YZ. And I always loved the Red and white. I was going to wheel it to the back of the garage and forget about it for a while....

Anyone know where I can find a very detailed motor rebuild manual?

According to the original owner he just rebuilt the top end but third gear was sticking...... So he split the cases, took the tranny apart and there it sat ... he never looked at it again... in 1996!.. The entire bike was/has been sitting in a storage shed in boxes since 1996.

Dug around in the boxes a little this morning. Top end / jug looks good and was bagged . Looks like he actually did have it ported at Procircuit back in the day. Looks like it does have a brand new very low hour Wiseco piston in it as well.

One crate has left side of motor ... other crate has rightside... tranny parts everywhere spread through boxes and coffee cans...

Apparently it was rebuilt top end when the tranny stuck in third. HE rebuilt it , started it up and rode it around his front yard until third gear stuck again!!! Took it apart and abandoned it...
