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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

ive put a new twist grip on my 99 wr250,a domino part off a newer cr125 and the nipple on the cable woulnt fit so i changed over the cable with a new one for 250 wr 2000 on model and its still too short,does anyone know which model has a longer cable,its only mls out as if i remove the wheel in the throttle the slide shuts,and she'll run fine but theres no play and its not ideal set up,thanks
 
You can easily shorten the cable outer by a few mill, pull the metal ferule off the outer cable to expose the 'wound outer' carefully unwind several revolutions of outer, cut off the unwanted piece with a junior hacksaw and push the ferule back into place. You may also have to cut some of the outer sheath back to get the ferule back on. The trick is to be CAREFUL not to damage the inner cable by nicking it with the saw or trapping it in the end of the outer.

10 min job and it doesnt cost you anything!
