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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Timing chain

Hi again, I started a thread about my lifeless ceased engine. That now has raised a few more questions so thought it easier to start a new thread. Ok here goes , getting prepped to split the head but there is a bit of a split within the home camp, my ktm riding buddies are convinced I need to split the timing chain while the yam and Kwak riders say no need, just slacken tensioner and remove top gear , allowing chain to flop to one side or remove. I don't have the splitting tool so before I order one and delay the post mortem , has anybody got some friendly advice ??

If you have the cam driven water pump (which you probably do, not sure of your year model) yes you can loosen or take out the tensioner. When you remove the water pump and shaft the gear will drop, then you can take out the timing gear and go from there.
