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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc steering head bearing races

Guess the wr and cr models are different, your head stocks don't have anything in them, my wre has an inbuilt steering lock on the outside that protrudes a cm or so inside the tube where the steering stem goes in. Bought this tool specifically to punch out the race, no good, the tube will go up and touch the race at the top but it can't expand enough to touch all four sections onto the race to push it outwards because the weld stops them :{ got the bottom race out with a flat screw driver, managed to knock the top race out about 2mm but it wasn't having it, punched it back down with the new race, it's not pitted or rusty, just smooth so I greased it up, greased up the new bearings and put it back together. What's the worst that can happen using a used race with a new bearing? I don't care if it just wears out the bearing faster as that's the easy bit to replaceupppy.png uppy.JPG
 
My wr's the same i used a long punch and braced it against the opposing side hit it left, right fron back and alternate the buggers are tight like a tiger but will come out.
DO NOT USE DIFFERENT RACE AND BEARING! Just for head aches sake.
Seriously tho shulda text me dude, could stop half the posts on the cafe.
 
Nothing bad will happed just acelerated wear to bearings.
There is a similar thought on chains and sprockets, replace the set not individual.
 
ok, tommorow I'll try to get it out again, the new one is in the freezer ready, garage guy said there was a bur on the top of the stem so he grinded it off [ground?] so now the top clamp just lifts off as it should, apparently there was no need for it to be un spun off the stem as I thought too
 
Thats good, jusr make sure to not over tighten the nut under the clamp too much as when you bolt the head stem nut up it will push down on it making it tighter. Its a bit tricky but easy to do with a bit of care.
