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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Top end rebuild question

Hey guys, i was wodering if anybody has some input at what would be a good time for a top end rebuild on my '10 WR250, got the bike new in October 2011 and have put on a little over 500 miles, no hour-meter on it though... Should i start worrying about my top end. Bike still rips like crazy btw, no power loss feeling whatsoever, justa making sure and trying to keep the husky as healthy as possible.

Thanks
 
so say you average 10mph on your rides.... (I have no idea what terrain you ride), but that would be roughly 50 hours... I would look at putting a new ring on it in the near future.... You should get double that out of a piston.

Thanks for the reply, i ride mostly tight tight single track, kinda extreme enduro stuff, who carries parts for this bikes in the states? I live in central america
 
Top ends last a long time on the WR250's. Bullet proof design and they don't turn ton's of rpms especially in the tight stuff. If you are reving it a lot then after 50 hours it wouldn't be a bad idea to check the ring but I was getting a solid 100 hours out of the ring in my WR250 and it was still in spec then but changed anyway. A lot depends on the quality of the 2T oil you use.
