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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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, so I got the bike back finally.......when I picked it up, it was hard to start, not the usual 2-3 revolutions before it fires up, now it takes a little longer.....I figured that since I had him re-flash the CPU back to stock since I had a JD tuner now, that I'd just have to re-adjust it. So I take it for a little rip just to be sure that everythings ok, the bike runs strong, pulls hard through the gears, so I figure everything is ok.....my boys are waiting in the truck, and I was on a schedule, so I had to just load it up and get going on the 1hr trip back home.
I get home and notice that the vent hose from the valve cover isn't connected, and the clamp is missing. I figured no big deal, I'll just get another clamp and re-attach it. (see other thread for that fiasco)......
So anyway, back to the problem at hand. It seems that in the almost last 2 months that they've been fiddling with the wiring harness, and cams and what-not, that they noticed that the cam chain had skipped a tooth.......(hmmmm.....didn't I suggest that on June 8th?)....how's that happen you ask? Well, while they were changing the cams out, they noticed this errant bolt in the top end......hmmmmm.....where'd that come from? Well I guess that the mechanic reviewed the fastners in the motor, identified where the bolt was supposed to go, and there already was a bolt in that location. His best guess is that husky must have left the "extra" bolt in the bottom end during manufacture, and it got sucked up into the timing chain, causing the chain to skip a tooth, thereby sending the valve timing off, causing the original issue....effing fantastic. So basically I got a new wiring harness, new cams, timing chain, etc. When I first got the bike, the dealer did a i-beat tune, and the normal power-up stuff was done by me. So, as I stated, I had him put the CPU back to factory spec, since the addition of the JD tuner could allow me to tune it to my liking......the only other thing is that I'm worried that maybe the valve clearance may not be right.....seeing that it's slightly hard to start now, which on my WR400 is the first tell-tale sign of an adjustment being necessary....
