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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I've got play in the upper shock bearing on my 2010 TE250, not taken it off before, what's in there guys? Bearing, bush, rose joint?? Any after market replacements or is it genuine only?

Cheers.
 
I put some lithium waterproof grease in there and have kept riding. I think it's basically a bush/collar, not sure of the price there but here in "Aust-oh-so-you-have-a-motorcycle-you-must-be-a-millionaire-ralia" it was going to cost me something above $200 for it..
 
im sure that maybe some one like pivot works or all balls do kits, or maybe if you have a local bearing house and you are confident that you can remove the the bearing yourself take it and see if you can get it matched up.
 
Thanks guys, rang a Husky dealer and, as you say, it's a spherical bearing and will cost me £58 including seals, bit expensive for what it is. A bit more digging and the size is 12mm inside diameter, 26mm outside diameter and 16mm width and has a bearing code of GEBJ12S. I've found them on ebay in china for $8, may order one and give it a go. All balls etc don't list these bearings so seems no other option than over priced genuine.
