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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

SMR 510 Needle Bearing?

Going to change the piston on my SMR 510 soon and can't seem to find the needle bearing anywhere (the one under the piston)? OEM has it but I would have to buy the entire connecting rod assembly for like 400€. (Going to do that if my rod has any movement when I take it apart)

Doesn't the needle bearing need to be replaced every time with piston like in 2 strokes?
An OEM or aftermarket part number would be much appreciated as well.

Again, manual says nothing about this. There isn't a single image of the bearing in the manual or google so I begin to wonder if 4-strokes even have needle bearings.

Just watched couple videos about Yamaha and Kawasaki dirt bike rebuilds and neither had a needle bearing. This might seems like a dumb post but I just want be ready for everything before I start disassembling.
