  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 remember reading a thread on the idle gear of a wr 360 95 backing out and cracking the spider, my motors out and im wondering if i should strip it down to make sure its not happening to mine as i would like to avoid having to replace engine if it is a common occurance.

my question is was this only common on earlyer 360's? or is it throughout the range.
ive searched but cant find the original thread on here.
 
Husky made a change in 1998 to strenghten the kickstart idle gear on the 360. It does however still use a small bearing so you might want to put a fresh bearing and retaining clip in to be sure. You can do this with the clutch side case removed, no need to split the cases unless you are replaceing a rod or main bearings.
 
boom, thank you for that i will get cracking as ive got a decomp head and new swingarm bearings so am going through the entire bike.
