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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

How do I remove SM rear caliper?

Help! After being in a storm, my rear brake started to "rattle" like on/off. So I figure maybe it's the caliper needing to be cleaned. (any other ideas?) But I looked around and couldn't figure out how to take the rear caliper out! Seems like nobody has this problem, and I couldn't find anything in the shop manual.

So how do I remove the rear caliper on SM610 for cleaning?
 
You have to remove the rear wheel axle, because it goes through the caliper support.
I'd like to post an image of mine for you, but I've just found out that now you have to have a premium account to upload images on imageshack.:( I must find another site.
 
Slide the axle out, set the chain off of the sprocket and then pull the wheel and caliper to the rear together, there should be enough slack in the brake line.
Once you get it back about 4 inches, the caliper bracket will be out of it's slot in the swingarm and you can pull the caliper off of the rotor and leave it with the bike, then pull the wheel out.
 
Nope, just get the wheel up and close, then slide the caliper back on the disc, and put the whole thing back in together. I us a foot to support the wheel when getting it lined back up for the axle.

Don't forget to loop the chain back over the sprocket before you put the axle back in.
