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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi,
I had water in my gearbox from the water pump. I pulled out the pump and changed the seal. The shaft and bearing looked ok but the seal was destroyed. Put the new seal in and put it all back together. It lasted one ride and the water found its way back in there. Shoild I have replaced the bearing and shaft aswell?
Any info would be appreciated.
Cheers Peter.
 
You sure the water is coming through the pump? If you ride through deepish water the gearbox vent tube sucks water into the box. I used to regularly find water in the gearbox oil until I moved the pipe from dangling down to up into the airbox.
 
I allways replace the bearing with the seal,the shafts are usually can be polished up unless the seal grove is deep. The bearing going bad is what usually takes out the seal to begin with.
 
Windsurf, It is definatly the seal. Glenn Thanks for the advice. the shaft looks ok but for the sake of a few dollars I will replace it so I dont have to do it again.
