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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc wr144 front fender rub

Anyone else have a front fender that rubs the frame? Any fixes? You would think a new bike would not come from the factory like that
 
I added a newer style YZ250F fender to my '08 WR250 and it rubbed. I took a medium sized bath towel and rolled it up tight and wedged it between the fender and the frame. I then took a 'heat gun' and applied a some heat to the upper inside of the fender. I hit it 2-3 times over a few days and now I have about 1/2" gap. You may be able to heat it up with a hair dryer but the heat gun is the trick... Good Luck.
 
I did the heat gun treatment last year.... it was rubbing again the end of the year. Yesterday I removed the bottom 1.5 inches off the fender where it was rubbing
