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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi all,
On my te630, the side stand moved a lot laterally, by unmounting the system I have found out the screw is not the original, to thin in diameter so the gap lead to this play...
I bought the offical one but seems to short :thinking:. Do I have to force the nut part into the first hole? thx

Mine is different, it has an allen head and sits recessed in the hole. Spring hanger is welded to frame above stand mount. The parts drawing don't match mine either.
 
I have searched a lot mais impossible to find one screw different from this one too short ! same screw (too short as well) on SWM parts.
 
If the new bolt does the job you can clean up threads and apply some thread locker such as locktite 262. This will lock bolt and negate need for lockwasher. 262 is higher strength than 242.

Not sure to understand. My "official" bolt is too short so i cannot screw a washer+nut on the other side, see pictures. Locktite 262 is like a glue and no need of nut?
 
Yes I meant to say locknut. Locktite will hold the bolt secure without locknut but can be removed with a bit of effort.
