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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Sorry if this is a repost - didn't see it anywhere.

It's winter in the American Midwest, so I thought I'd tear down/inspect the chassis on my '15 Te300. It was brand new a year ago. All the bearings/bushings/races looked good, but the grease they used at the factory seemed awfully light/thin. This is true of the steering head as well as the swingarm/linkage.

If you've got a new one and some time, you may want to repack the bearings before abusing it. I had one season on mine and I don't think I would have wanted to wait two seasons to repack.
 
I went through mine and checked every nut and bolt after about five hours. Checked every nut and bolt cause I noticed my back axle wasn't very tight (put a rock through the stock at81 and tore it wide open in the first five hours). After that I tore it down and checked and regreased everything. Hardly any grease in the steering head. I put mine through a lot of water so I regrease everything frequently. Same bike 15 TE300
