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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

'08 TE-510 Front Brake Lever Creep

I only have about 700 miles on my '08 TE-510. Last week, I noticed when I pull the front brake lever and hold it, the lever sometimes creeps back towards the bar. I can pump it once or twice and it seems to hold but occasionaly it starts to creep again. Do I need to just bleed the system or is it a master cylinder piston/o-ring problem? If so, where can I get parts for the master cylinder?

Thanks
 
Needs bleeding. Try removing wheel, remove brake res cap. With tire iron spread the brake pads. Watch to see if bubbles appear in the res, pump the brake up with lever between the pads and do this several times. Some times it helps to remove the caliper when doing this as a bubble can be trapped inside the caliper piston so the rotation of it will allow the bubble to dislodge from inside the piston.
