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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

SMS630 Whining noise when engine breaking

Hey all, got my bike running, re-opened the head and fixed my stupid mistake on the cams.

I now have a noise that occurs when I engine break it seems, does not happen when I hold the clutch in and apply breaks, which leads me to believe it isn't my chain tension or chain.

Its a fairly higher pitched whining noise. Bike runs fine otherwise, no issues that I can see anywhere else. Any thought?

Most recent changes aside from re-assembly is new battery, fuel, spark plug, coolant and oil change.

On a side note, my high beams are also stuck on, not as serious of a problem for me but if anyone knows why that would occur I'm all ears to fix it
 
Can't help with the engine noise, sorry. On the stuck Hi-beam, might have somewhere too look. On my bike the handle bar switches eventually filled with dust and pretty much stopped working. I took the switch housings apart, didn't disassemble the switches but carefully sprayed the switches trying to get contact cleaner inside. I then wrapped the switches with a layer of electrical tape to seal them and then reassembled the housings. No problems for a few years now.
