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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

a Genius

I just completed adjusting the valves on my 08 TXC250 and I will spare U the details other than one intake is getting looser rather than tighter ...

But , who ever came up with that head and method for adjusting the valve is nothing short of a genius ... I hope he is still around Husky and got a pay raise \ promotion for this as it was very easy overall and a person does not even have to know what the process is all about to complete it successfully ... :banana: ....

Also, along the same line, the idea of grease on the feeler gauge (from the utube video) to hold the new shim for placing back inside the engines was not bad either ... ;)

That design has been around a long time. I had a Ninja many years ago that had the same setup. It's a good configuration for sure.
 
great timing...doing my valves now on the 510 with 25 hours...the exhausts are .008/.007 and the intakes are both .007. what do you guys think?

Yep ... it is not so easy to come up with an original idea on any scale ...ESP with bikes ... I'm just glad Husky choose to use it :)
 
Agree!!! Its almost fun. How far out of spec were you to change it? My exhausts were dead in the middle and hadn't moved since the last check, but one intake moved .001 looser than spec and I have decided not to tighten just yet.
 
Intakes were sitting on the tighter side of the SPEC limit with 1 EX right in the middle and the other setting on the loose side of the SPEC limit ... I'm gonna check the loose one after a few rides, maybe before this weekend and see if it is continuing to loosen up ...

Before I purchased the bike , I checked this process ... If it had not so easy, I would not have purchased the bike ... I'm not gonna tear into my engine on a regular basis and pull cams, re-time it , ... as some of the videos I have saw on youtube for this procedure ...
