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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

No grease

Rainy and muddy here. So, decided to adjust, grease y 511's steering head bearings, axles, etc and
Never sieze bolts. I had already done this to the reared of old Gertrude.
The axle and wheel bearings had less than grease it was rough. No grease in the tapered bearings
In the steering head. So much happier now! Also did my new to me 06 WR125..this thing is a blast!
His name is Hecliff. Little over 500 on the 511 and 5 oil changes. I'll start spacing them out a little
More now.
 
I have never purchased a new bike that had an adequate amount of grease in the bearings. The European bike seem to be better than the Jap bikes though. My '01 CR250 had almost zero grease on any bearing when I bought it new. How you liking the 511? Seems like just yesterday you bought it!
 
Grease the Linkage too? I bought some new ones when I replaced mine and there was NO existing grease on the new ones.
