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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc wr 300 rear brake.

Is the bike new? Did you clean the rotors before riding it? They have a film on them when new and can cause it to gum up the pads is why I ask. If you have the stock rear pads which are metallic I am not sure then as they are usually too touchy for me at first, especially on the front. I run organic Braking on the front as it gives me a little more progressive feel. Make sure you have a good solid feel at the rear pedal with your hand and don't have any air in the line. Just grasping here but the rear should be really good as the front.
 
I used a brake clevis off of an '09 KX450 and it got rid of the slop inn the pedal. A better feel, for sure.
 
The rear brakes are weak and if you use then alot they will over heat and fade.i installed a CR vented rotor and used Motol high temp brake fluid that helpped alittle but they are still not as good as the other husky .The rear rotor is small i have seen some people make a braket to then beable to use a larger rotor
 
I'm not really unhappy with the power, but they dont last long. I go through 2 rears for every set of fronts, which is completely backwards. That solid rotor eats em!

thats pretty normal for a 2 stroke mate, the back brakes get used up to compensate for the lack of engine braking
 
You don't want a vented or wave rotor. You want a solid rotor. More pad contact and heat tranfer to the rotor. Serves as a heat sink to draw heat away from caliper. Use DP and Moose brake pads. Work great when broken in. Moose pads are the same material as DP but have double ceramic insulation on back to prevent heat transfer to caliper. Use Motul 600 Racing brake fluid. Bleed between races.
