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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Suzuki RM125 powervalve governor thrust bearing proper installation

Cafe inmates, Anyone please help! on RM Suzuki's when you remove the PV governor there is a thrust roller bearing between it (PV Gov) and the actuator assembly. The thrust bearing is open on one side and is closed on the other. When I disaasembled the PV Gov assy the rollers were facing out against the PV governor with the closed plate side against the actuator assy (ball ramp type thing hard mounted onto the engine case). I am questioning the proper installation of the thrust bearing (it was coming apart with missing rollers, old stuff). I want to make sure which way the bearing goes in. The parts Fiche is not clear enough to determine proper installation. Anyone have a shop manual or know from experience? This bike happens to be a 1997 RM125 V model, but I see that Suzuki uses the same PV control design for 125 and 250s for a number of years. Thanks Rob
