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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Starter Issues After Valve Job - 12' 310

I made adjustments to the valves for the first time, they're in spec. But now the button won't start the bike. The bike starts and runs fine, the E-start just won't work. I replaced the battery with a brand new one and it did not change the problem. It sounds like it's turning over a few times but just not strong enough to get her fired.

Anyone have similar issues or have any insight into this?
 
Doesn't make sense for wearing valves to loosen. As they recede into the head, the clearance between the valve stem and the bucket should tighten.

There are other things that happen with valves and valve trains other than receding into the head. My valves loosened for awhile then tightened for a very short time, now they are pretty steady.

They were loose and I tightened them. Unfortunately no video right now but I'm working on it.

Do the cams have to be pulled to change shims on this bike?
