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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Yeahhhh, the short solid chunk is 12mm... So... I threw it in the mill and took 1mm/side off of all 6 sides for the first 3/8" or so, and voila, I have an oil plug wrench now...
 
Doesn't fit what? The oil drain plug under the bike? It's 10mm.

There are two drain plugs, are they both 10mm? Which one are you referring to? The tool I am missing is the one closer to side of the bike that has the fill port and where most of the oil comes out. On mine it is an allen type bolt that I ended up using a 3/8" allen wrench on.

On pages 38&39 of the parts manual it is described as: Plug (M 22x1,5). I just want to get the right tool for this since the one in the kit does not fit it.
 
The big plug takes a 10mm Allen, the small plug is 12mm wrench/socket.

Careful using a 3/8", you may eventually round off the wrench or worse, round out the socket in the oil plug.

The short solid chunk is 12mm, for the front axle.

And what a stupid piece they put in the tool kit. It keeps disappearing inside the axle! I'm going to drill a hole and put a little set screw in it so it stops before gophering on me.

Probably easier to just carry a 12mm allen wrench...

I carry a 12mm allen wrench socket instead.
