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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

End Of Season Maintenance, I Started The Valve Adjusment Job, Here's A Timelapse!

The camera stopped about 30 minutes before we removed the valve cover I think, so far the casualties are one coil (connector housing hit the frame when unplugging it from the spark plug and it cracked) and the mud guard (forgot to unplug the bottom rivets when removing the subframe so it ripped)

I ordered a bunch of parts and the ECU is at the dealer for the recall (this way I can do the first startup myself so I'm sure it will be done correctly)

I also have a couple of videos from when I went to Mount Washington on there if you want to watch

Enjoy!
 
you don't need to take the rear frame and all the plastic and rack off. Just the cans and the top bolts of the rear frame, then loosen the bottom bolts a bit to tilt the rear frame back. Gives you just enough room to wiggle the airbox out.
 
Yeah I read that but we figured it wasn't that much more work for so much more space to work with!
 
You're probably right, some extra room would be nice.
Jeez I wish my valve adjustment only took that log....
 
Another day, another video!

I'm still waiting on some parts (some I would have liked to have before closing the engine like the timing chain guide and tensioner, but I guess I'll change them along with the chain in two years when I do this whole process again) and my ECU, the dealer is far enough that I'll wait until I can go get everything that's missing and from what they told me that might mean waiting another 2 or 3 weeks, so don't expect more progress for a little while!

In the meantime here's a picture of the beast as I left it earlier!

Damn the Terra fender fits way better with the fairing around the light!

Edit: If you're wondering, my friend was trying to solve a no charge issue with his truck, ended up being a fuse link (big wire from the battery that's also used as a fuse) that was completely worn out!
