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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just completing my first ever top end rebuild of my wr 250 husky.
My Manual says 15.9 dividedby 18,1 lbft ????????????
Or 21.6 dividedby24.5 nm?? For cylinder nut
And 13 dividedby14.5 lbft for the cylinder head nut?
What does this mean?
Also there was hardly any water/coolant in it and the gear oil was low and half water!
How who why what to do now?
 
It isn't divided by but a range so the cylinder nut for example has a min torque of 21.6nm and max torque of 24.5nm.

Torque setting are given a range as there are so many factors that effect the torque like ambient temperature, type of torque wrench, using an extension bar, lube on the bolts ...there are formula's to calculate proper torque settings and if you know an engineer, ask.

Since we're dirtbikers, choose the middle of the range, torque cold, check torque after run-in and check torque cold again..preferrably at night as the metals will have contracted enough for you to torque down properly (remember ambient temperature).

Please tell me you didn't divided it the numbers as .8nm is less then hand tight (around 1.5nm)!!!
 
Sounds much sweeter and less smoke now!
Got a leak from the left radiator [just dripping]. ill take it tm for a test ride and keep an eye on coolant and gear oil. fingers crossed.
