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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Oil plug thread pitch.

Hello. I have a 2009 TXC 250 that has some slightly buggered up threads in the case for the main oil plug. Does anyone know what size tap I have to use to clean up threads in the case? Thanks.
 
Oil filler plug is M18 x 1.0 thread. Lube up your tap with lots of grease or Vaseline to catch any chips from falling into the cases.
 
If you can, it also helps to run a liter of cheap oil through ir. Plug in, fill, then plug out, to wash any final bits. I have helicoiled sparkplug threads using only grease to catch the chips (emergency of course) and made out fine. The grease does a great job. Cam.
