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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Tc449 Chain Slack?

Ok good. Found the slack for chain, 5 mm. Wow, that is really tight. I realize the pivot doesn't cause chain tightening but do I really keep it at 5 mm?
 
40-45mm in the mid between front and rear sprocket. 5mm? Im surprised your outer bearing hasnt gone in pieces.
 
Yes, the correct spec is 5mm thanks to the constant geometry through the entire stroke with the CTS system. That being said, I run mostly off road and had my concerns. I have always run about 15mm total up/down and had excellent results with minimal sproket wear or chain stretch. You can't run it loose like a traditional dirt bike because it will certainly toss the chain at some point so give it some slack, but not too much.
