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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

1. My bike shipment was delayed due to Memorial Day weekend. Estimated delivery is "on or before the 16th".
2. Hall's says that the oil filter is either the Hi-Flo HF154 or HF563 or a K&N KN-154. That corresponds to the old 610 filter number. I was under the impression the filter had changed on the 630.
3. Hall's is working on getting an electronic copy of the owner's manual from Husky, which they will in turn send me via email.
Being a dirtbike newbie, what is the deal with the two oil screens inside? Do you clean them and put them back in, or replace them? Hall's is telling me that the external screen filter is replaced (not just cleaned and put back in) at every oil change. The internal one is replaced at valve adjustment intervals.
Where are you all sourcing Hi-Flo filters and screens for the bike? I could get oil filters for my sportbikes at any old auto parts store. As a matter of fact, my ZX-10R and my car used the same one.

mlyamkaw;101858 said:There is more than one? Where? Sorry for the dumb question, but I don't have a manual, and have never worked on a Husky before. I assume I can find the oil filter and the drain plug, just wonder where the screens are, and assuming the 630 is the same as the 610?

The owner's manual doesn't go into it. I'll probably need to get my hands on a repair manual pretty quickly.
