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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey guys,

Quick question I stripped my 05 wr250 and sent the cylinder and bottom end off for repair.

I am currently away for work and am arranging by distance the rest of the repairs.

When I was pulling apart the bike I pulled the head off before I removed the engine from the frame.

I want to know if I the motor can slide into the frame fully assembled? Problem being I'm not at home to measure the bike!

If it does drop into the frame will make life easy as the shop is doing the bottom end, I could do the top end myself but for another $100 labour I could have her ready to drop in when I get home.
