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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2010 TXC 250 Valve Adjustment

Yeah, the older huskies use 9.48. I just bought a shim kit for my 250 since it seems to need constant attention. Fortunately, the valves haven't moved on the 450.
 
Yes I had to get the small torq wrench as well. Are you folks using loc tite on theses going back in, considering everything is covered in oil?
No loctite....45 in lb max and you should be good.

It may seem kind of loose but my cap bolt are fine at that torque.

Funny, my x-light factory manual had torque values for every bolt in the motor but said "xxxx" for the cap bolts....like they did not know how tight to make them.

wonder if the new 2012 manual has values listed?
 
Does anyone know where i can get a workshop manual for the 2010 TE 450 please just bought this bike with 750 miles on the clock need to check when the oil needs changing valves need adjusting etc.

45inch pounds of torque on the big bolts what about the little ones?
