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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

we just took off the swing arm and got new bushing and bearing moose kit (all balls) they are identical to the factory ones but the swing arm will not go back flush with the motor. anyone else have this problem. its like the fame shrank within the week. please help!
 
Hmmm, I seem to remember using an old bushing versus the new, because of difference in size.
The only bearings I didn't have issues with were the wheel bearings, only becasue the old ones were fine.
Headset bearings, I ended up trading back and forth with Bryon/BMP
 
Make sure the main bushings and the larger rings are both on the inside
If that makes sense. So seal on outer then the two needle rollers the big ring
then the bush that goes through the
Lot.

I may of gotten wires crossed but i assume this is the problem
 
we do have the rings on the inside it seems like the brake side frame rail is pushed in about .060 and the frame rail on sprocket side has been pushed out about 4mm out. and both old and new bushing will not fit. and what are yalls thought on HMDP or 954 navy bronze bushings.

willl post pics later for a better understands
 
That would be good just thought it sounded like you had
Put the bushes in from the outside pics are good:)
 
Mine was tight when I put my 250 back in my frame. I assumed the 360 was slightly narrower and I had pinched the frame together a bit. My fix was to grind a very little amount off the end of the bushing (the small end that goes through the swing arm) as it was catching on the frame. Not ideal, but it did the trick for me.
