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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Can anyone tell me where you're getting wheel spacers from? Mine on my '12 WR300 are needing replaced in a bad way. Do you have to go direct from Husky, or are there aftermarket ones available? I haven't seen any yet, and really prefer to replace them when I put new wheel bearings in. I didn't last time, now 20-30 hours later I've got some bad wobble and the bearings are still tight.
 
If you are trying to solve a problem, that's one thing, but don't replace them if they are just "grooved"... I was all worried about mine because they were grooved. I bought a full new set, and less than 10 hours later, they were grooved again. I'm convinced this is just the way it is...
 
I'd be happy if they were just grooved =] The wear on them is pretty obvious, and a lot of grit getting behind the seals and speeding it up. Pretty likely that the bearings might be past the tipping point as well.
 
Just got mine from Enduro Engineering. Their bearing kit comes with new spacers. When I bought the bike they were WAY past just beinged grooved.

I can't understand how the spacers could be worn in a way to cause the wheel to wobble unless the axle nut is loose??

That's easy. Me typing without thinking :thinking: Wheel spacers are shot. So, I guess my bearings took in all the grit already and are toast.
