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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

OEM master link failure

installed an o-ring Regina, oem from one of the crews KTM. I too always liked the old school HVA TE chain guide (enduro folding type,,but the rock piles we do here completley destroyed 2 on my 06 TE,,,,and after hammering them back numerous times i went with the BRP thing and never looked back on my 06, and now have the new black BRP on the 08. These are all local choice and personal pref type deals. for most the TE style is simple and easy to deal with. Oh by the way it was the CZ chain and from the derail/ pop off and it actually twisted,,,note when i layed the regina next to it the regina is noticably beefier, I don't know the exact model of o-ring / x-ring? regina its is but its not one of the gold ones. anyway good chain discussion, i just wanted to make that field ops fyi thing.

another goofy thing i do is contact clean my master clip side and put a coat of 3 bond 1211 over the clip,,,been doing it for years from 510tx to txc450
get out and ride ride ride!!! and check our vids from time to time,,,R
 
BRP also makes chain guides,,,,did you mean the "chain buffer" slider guide on the swingarm near the countershaft? Those I have not seen,,the OEM one works good.
