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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Another new Husky owner, 2012 WR300.

Thanks for all of the input. Still do not have the bike yet. It is being picked up this week from Miami and shipped to Atlanta. I will get it soon and bring it home to SC. As for the primary nut looseness issue, I called my local dealer and he said that Husky issued a service bulletin on the primary nuts coming loose and he torqued and applied lok-tite to the bikes he had in stock at the time. After hearing this, I called the dealer in Miami where I bought the bike, and he said that he has never heard of this issue. He also said that they run each bike's serial number and look for any mechanical recalls. According to him, my bike did not have any. So, I called the local dealer again and he called BS on the serial number check. He had never heard of that. Now that I am thoroughly confused, I am going to check the primary nut myself and put it to rest once and for all. Also he mentioned something about the shifting issue and said that part could be checked once I had the clutch cover off. If anyone out there can give me detailed instructions on how to tighten the primary nut and check the shifting parts for looseness, especially torque values, I would be forever grateful! I was aware that when I bought a bike from a dealer 12 hours from my house that I would be basically on an island. To bad my local dealer about an hour and a half away could not come up with a 300, I would not be having this issue. Instead I would be out roosting my buddies!
