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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2007 TE-250

Btw, I just took out the air filter and cleaned it thoroughly first with gasoline and then detergents. It is a "twin air" air filter and seems to be the right size, and still in fairly good shape.

Quite a bit of that blue oily stuff came out, but it seems not a grain of dust or dirt - which I guess is good !

I then re-oiled the air filter lightly with "maxima fft" (what a messy process) and put it back in, cleaning and re-greasing both sides of the the steel arrestor mesh black plastic rim, and later very carefully making sure everything is set right and aligned right.
 
You have "a" KTM failure, in over 25 years of racing I have had three rod failures and they were all in 2006 Husqvarna 450s withing ten hours of 100 hours service. And, two of those rods took the center cases out as well. Thats not just an "it can happen to anything" experience.

As i said, there is a reason the KXF bearing substitute was discovered for these bikes.
