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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Tr 650 seized engine

Hello, I recently picked up a TR650 with a motor that was seized. The bike has around 5400 miles. I added some penetrating oil in the cylinder bore by removing a spark plug and the engine broke loose fairly easily after twisting on the crank through the side cover plug. The engine which was tight and loosend up over the course of a few revolutions.. the PO said it locked up on him shortly after an oil change… the engine starts and idles good but there’s definitely something wrong with the bearings and the bike has a decent amount of pressure/foamy oil in the oil reservoir. I found an eBay engine that’s supposedly guaranteed To be good for fairly cheap. If there’s any tips or tricks on getting the engines swapped I’d be thrilled to hear it. I started earlier by removing the airbox, rad, draining fluids and loosening the rear frame. Thanks
