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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Valve Adjustment

Husqvarna
AA Class
It's winter maintenance time for my 09 TE 250. Upon checking my valves, I found out that I have an exhaust valve clearence that is about .002" too loose. I have always experienced valve clearences on motorcycles that tighten as the valves wear up into the valve seat. Do other of you Husky owners have valves clearences that open and get loser as they wear?:confused:

One of mine got too loose a couple of times ...I just shimmed it back into tolerance levels ...

EDIT: After ~1200 hrs on my 08 TCX250, still not a problem with any of the 4 ...
 
Mine have only gotten looser on the 630. They have settled down though and haven't needed much attention for a while.
