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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Price to rebuild top end?

Hi guys I'm riding a 2010 te250 brought it to a dealer to have the valves adjusted and do an injector upgrade and found out I have a cracked head, damaged cams... Basically I need a new top end I was told. They quoted me $3000-3500... Does that price sound right? And anyone know what just the parts would cost for a top end rebuild? Thanks

Sounds pretty pricey. Haven't rebuilt a xlite motor before. A similar motor had similar work recently, new valves and springs etc, new cams, new piston , piston rings and nikasil etc., new cam chain and gaskets etc. It was ~$ 1500 AUD.
Maybe would be better to get a second opinion, cracked heads can be repaired but a new one would be expensive, might add a lot to that quote you have.

Wow.. You can almost buy a brand new bike for that much.
 
No way. Call Halls. I had to do it and got away with less than 1/2 of that. Zipty is a great option too. Find a used head and have either of them build it for you.
