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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Looks like it got left wet and rusted the lining off, did you give it a thorough jetwash before laying it up for the winter?
I would make sure the top half of the stator cover is sealed and the bottom has a good drain hole in it.
Or seal the entire lot up with 10cc oil floating around in there.






N.b. corrected some mistakes in text. Spaces laying instead of using it up. Makes a bit of sense now.
 
Hitting the flywheel with a hammer to get it off could also result in loose magnets.
I didn't think of the water/rust (wish I had) but certainly agree it's a possible cause.

I was thinking the same thing. Gonna pull my rotor cover off and have a look. I generally stay away from water crossings but dont know about previous owner
 
no winter in new Zealand. ride all year round. no moisture got in there. it's also never been off before and only rusty where the glue was. just something to be aware of guys. this should only affect the bikes with ducatI igniton. .. 2010-2014 - I think... can't recall when they changed.
 
Hey there j tomo same thing just happened to my wr250 2012. But I’m having trouble finding a new one! Do you still have the contact of the company you acquired yours from?
