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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Te 630 fork legs and loctite

I had my forks off today for the first time to replace the fluid. The triple clamp bolts, brake caliper bolts, and the small bolts that hold the leg shields on were not loctited. The fork parts appear to be magnesium. Is loctite not compatible with these parts? as it isn't with brass I think...

Actually, just about nothing appears to had threadlocker applied at the factory, but I thought in this case it might have been for a reaosn.
 
No threadlocker applied from factory. Only place I used loctite was on the rear sprocket bolts. The factory sprocket locknuts are terrible! No issue using loctite on any fasteners on the 630. I generally use a small dab of rtv on most external and loctite on internal fasteners when reassembling.
