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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Decompression Cable..?

Having some battery problems with my '05 TE250 recently. Was forced to resort to the kick starter on the bike but found that my decompression cable was broken..(just rusted in two)...:excuseme:

Any ideas where I can get a replacement...or alternative cable..??

Just out of interest. Even though my bike is fitted with a Rekluse I was able to get the bike started by rolling it down a reasonably steep hill and using what little power was left in the battery to crank it over and get it started...:thumbsup:

I would start with a dealer?

It also sorta looks like a bicycle brake cable?

Not one the items people seem to have trouble with. It is possible the conditions you ride in are slightly moist.... LOL
 
This happened to me recently as well. Sheared in two half way along it's length.
Never heard of this before, and neither had my local dealer?

Because the original OEM failed...;)

My current intentions are to use the original casing and make up my own cable & nipples out of stainless steel. Not 100% sure how I will secure the nipples to the SS wire just yet, possibly use a screw or perhaps even go for resin.

I am hoping that with a little effort I will end up with a cable that will never fail again. Rather than purchase an OEM cable and run the risk.

Did you keep the cable...??

I only have half of mine ....:confused:

Could you please measure the remains of yours, and let me know the overall length, to the centre of the nipples...:)
 
Fitted my new cable today, had a rummage in the garage but couldn't find the old one sorry.
