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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

txc450 wont start

We have a txc 450 that died on us, to me the timing looks off, the chain gear is lined up, piston is at tdc on compression, but the marks on the cam gears are 1/2 a tooth high on each side, and the cam lobes are not pointing at the same angle towards the middle, they are off by a few degrees. The bike was running great for about 25 min. I don't see how the timing could be off but I've tried to adjust the cams but then they don't align with the cam chain gear. Any ideas? Am I looking at the wrong thing?

Was the bike running OK and then it just died?
If so, why would you suspect the cam timing?
A sudden die-off would normally be researched as an electrical short, a bad plug, bad gas, etc.

In your picture, is that the exhaust cam AFTER you moved it 1 tooth or before?
