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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Swing arm bushings

I was lubing my swing arm and found that the LH bushing was installed from the outside of the swing arm! I was having trouble getting it back together. I had cleaned up the parts and when I got back to finish I forgot how the bushings went in:banghead: Well I could see that the LH had left a mark on the swing arm so I tried to install them from the outside and the swing arm would not slide in:banghead: After I look in the maintaince manual I see that they are installed from the inside out. So from looking closely I see that my bike came with The RH installed correctly and the LH incorrectly! Has anyone else seen this also my master-link did not have any o-rings on the inside of the link:banghead:
After fitting the bushings in correctly it fit right together:applause:
the black ring area is the mark that was on my swingarm from the bushing.
PS how do you get bold letters in the title:doh:

The O-Rings on the master-link disappear really easily and they also make it hard to close the ML enough to get the clip back on. By the way, I did the exact same thing with bushings...kinda counter intuitive.
 
So do you put o-rings on the inside plate or just the clip side? also did your bike come with the LH bushing installed from the outside of the swing-arm?

The O-rings are there to keep the grease in.

Amusing of coarse you did grease the ML before assembly.:D

If you only put "O-rings" on one side....how would the grease

stay in the ML....:D Hope that clears things up for you...
