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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Rear Brake Pedal Bolt Backing Out

Hey, I'm new here and have a 2007 TE 250. I like the bike and it is pretty reliable but I went for a rigorous ride yesterday and when I was cleaning the bike today discovered that the bolt that holds the read brake pedal on was just about to fall out! It was no problem to screw it back in with a hex drive but I ran into a problem:

If I tighten it up all the way the pedal won't move at all. If I back it out a tad its going to back out all the way pretty quickly. Clearly there is something that's supposed to keep it in place. I'm guessing a stud that screws into the back of the bolt hole? Can anyone give me any guidance on this?

I also noticed a o-ring on the inside of the bolt as if it supposed to be sealed. Do I grease the bolt shaft directly and the o-ring is supposed to keep it clean?

Thanks!

I looked at the parts books and that's a shoulder bolt that should bottom out on the shoulder but still allow the pedal to rotate freely on the shoulder.

The cause could be that someone has replaced the correct shoulder bolt with an incorrect replacement.

Remove the bolt and measure the shoulder and then measure the pedal bore hole width, the bore hole width should be less than the width of the shoulder on the bolt.
 
Good idea. The bolt looks much different than the one you show here. Maybe I can shim it?

The problem turned out to be a shredded o-ring on the inner side. After completely removing the bolt I was able to clean it and find a new o-ring. Lightly greasing the boss and reinstalling fixed her up very nicely.
