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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just wondering how many hours others have on theirs? More specifically the WR300

I got mine with 170 miles and no hour meter. The water pump had failed and seized so was rebuilt with a fresh piston and then I bought it. Realised what was causing the seizures and fixed that part

Since then I've put 1400 miles and 75-80 hours on it going by hour meter I fitted

Still loads of compression and runs brilliant but I'm think at maybe 120-150 hours it'll need a refresh

I'm not MX racing and thrashing it always but I do a mixture of hard Enduro, Enduro and green laning/trail riding so it does get opened up a fair bit
 
Not sure how many hours you can get on a top end, but I do know that when you see the little "death smile" on the intake side of the piston skirt, it's time to replace your piston before the skirt breaks right there.
