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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I finally got around to checking my valves, I feel like a neglectful parent.
My bike has 1600km on it and 59 hrs.
I was wondering if I am doing this correctly, I put the feeler gauge under the lobe on the cam after putting the bike at tdc.
On the intake side the biggest feeler I could fit under there was .004 and on the exhaust it was .007. Which to me puts them right in spec, I thought for sure I would have to adjust them!
 
You don't say what bike you have.....

On the DOHC bikes, the feeler gauge goes between the cam follower and the shim, not between the cam lobe and the follower. If your intakes are at .004, you should be adjusting them up to .006, as you're now going to go out of spec with any more wear.

In addition there should be a place in your User CP to specify what bike you have, if you want.

Slowpoke gave you the correct answer though. :thumbsup:
