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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Tech help required re rear hub from 250 4t.

A loal shop has a 250 4stroke rear hub, around 2009 model. question is will the Hub fit the rear of my WR300? my bike isnt close at hand to check. The shop said u can just flip it over as the 4t has the final drive on the left side as opposed to the smokers being on the right side.

hoping some can advise if it will fit ;)

The tabs where the sprocket mounts are thicker on a 4 stroke hub and the sprocket alignment will be off about one sprocket thickness worth. I have a friend who turned down a sprocket and used it as a spacer (I recommended not doing that but he has not had an issue) to use a 2 stroke wheel on his 4 stroke. Going the other way you would have to machine the hub down so the sprocket aligns.
 
thanks guys, i will check how thick the sprocket tabs are and see if this is viable. being a smoker i guess the torque is less so maybe the thumpers are thicker by default. i will check an let u know the outcome.

I just check the hubs side by side and it appears that the 4t hub has extended tabs (thicker by approx 8mm) than the 2t.
Going by this your correct Motosportz :) I will send it to the machine shop and have the sproket tabs taken back. This will actually
make it identical to the 2t tab thickness. That would mean it wont be any weaker than a stock 2t hub.

Cheers
