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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Reuse Valve Adj. Cover Gasket

I have some RTV ultrablack here as well, but I pulled the valve adjustment cover gasket and it looks pretty clean. Can it be reused? This is on an SM610 btw.

Thanks
 
Good to know. I just buttoned mine up last night after adjusting the valves and reused the gasket. Didn't notice anything this morning after my ride to work. Thanks for the response.

I check my valves every 10 hrs[approx]. i have about 270 hrs on the bike [250/310] & i have used 3 gaskets. Keep a spare & when you see a leak you can't deal with then replace it. Keep it clean & straight.
 
The big valve cover on the 610 does not even have a gasket.

You use a little silicone, thats it.

My 610 leaked a touch from the inspection covers new from the factory and most do.
