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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Pulled my '10 3hunge onto it's stand so I could oil the chain and i noticed when back wheel left the ground there was a small 5mm slop in the rocker lever ( bottom mount of the shock)..
Is there meant to any or am I up for overhaul of back end?
 
There is a little slack in the linkage system. If there is excessive then your bearings need some love. Sounds like yours may need love. When was the last time they were serviced?

I grease them pretty regulary, but never been apart..
 
Swing arm and lower shock bearings should press straight out. The rest in the linkage require and internal bearing puller or die grinder to get one side out before you can press the other side out as they are seated to a shoulder.
 
You said there was 5mm of slop; is that measured at the rear wheel or at the linkage?

That would be a LOT of slop at the linkage. If you really have that much, one or more bearings are probably shot.
 
There's a fait bit of movement at the back wheel, at the linkage theres a small amount. havn't had a chance to get apart yet but will start undressing her tomorow.. time for a tidy up. lookin at fork oil replacement and new skf ultra low friction seals, fresh piston n rings(100hrs on her) and rear end( hope she may just need a regrease... maybe hitting the logs a bit hard, need to learn the unweighting technique..
