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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc rear wheel hits muffler

AA Class
Ive got a 2013 WR300 with a pro circuit pipe and muffler, Ive just noticed that it looks like the rear wheel hits it as it has scuff marks on the side. Ive got a Pirelli 110 on but before was running 120 size rear.
Ive checked Ive got t he muffler on the right side of the mounts, the inside right?It certainly looks like it has to fit that way as the mounts have dishes in them for the rubber bits.

Any one else have this issue ?
 
I had a problem with my 2011, with a Michelin 120 getting tire marks on it, but ended up bending the mounts out slightly. End of problem.

The muffler goes on the outside of the sub frame.
 
The outside ? ok mines always been on the inside. The shop put the procircuit on that way when I bought it new ... no bloody wonder it rubbs
thanks for all your replies
 
Dont try and bend tabs, they are weak as hell to begin with. If you look in here you will find that a lot of people have the tabs eventually crack. Mine did. Didnt fall on it either. If they crack, there are some fixes other than welding because the aluminum is not easy to weld.
 
I undid the bolts and repositioned on the outside of the subframe just like it was made for it ...how about that.
No I havnt bent tabs, thanks for heads up
 
watch ya rear brake line on the PC pipes/stinger of silencer. i melted 2 rear lines(well 2nd one still holding but melted plastic & started on braid) from it touching without me knowing

There is a little flex in the exhaust system at the joint of the silencer and the expansion chamber. You can put a little spacer inside the subframe with a hoseclamp and keep the silencer off the tire. I run a large hose clamp around the silencer and up through the rear fender under the sidepanel to prevent the mounting tabs from breaking. The tabs are under engineered. And I run spacers on the tabs- limits crash damage...
 
I rode yesterday and it seems fine now its on the correct side! Ill check the brake line thanks Straw.
