• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 call me Mr bike smasher...

Awesome, thank you. Sent him an Email for some other parts I will need. Had considered selling the bike recently but riding it and liking the uniqueness of it makes me want to keep it.

WOW, good to know. PM or post his info here if you would. Is his name Randy or Randall?

Surprisingly a rod kit for the 406 was EZ to find and just over $200. Nice. (Rod, bearing, pin, shims) The Rotax is a good looking well built motor inside.

those Rotax 400 series motors are tractorlike (overbuilt) everything inside is well machined and stout. K be sure to check your (tiny)reed cage while she is apart, also they should be good, but also check the port match for no material and gasket interference. These things run quite a bit smoother with the ports all matched/cleaned up.

another source for ATK/Rotax stuff, dont know if its the same guys as listed above, these guys were always helpful

Yes, the motor looks new inside and is way overbuilt and kinda cool. Reed cage is the upgraded American Dirtbike one so I am cool there. Ports and cylinder / head look new.

So it all started this Sept when i had a hard head on. Bent triples and forks on my much loved 09 WR144. Also took out the pipe and various other bits. Bike is in parts ever since.

Flash forward to riding the 94 WXC250. Great backup bike, and excellent winter bike with great power and grip heaters. that bike started running bad, it was a base gasket. Went to replace it and noticed the cylinder is toast. Crap, ripped it off and sent it to the platers.

Next up is my 86 WR400. Fun bike, like riding it. Took it out to a local ride area, went to start it and snap, broke the center case, right behind the kick starter**************************************** Fark. Good luck is Motosportz Mike has a center case for it, need to get it to JR to do the quick swap out.

So on to the 95 ATK406. also a very fun bike. Had not ridden it in a while and seem to remember the motor getting noisy. Yep, rode it and theres a bearing going. Tore into it and found it was the lower connecting rod bearing!!!

So i guess 4 bikes is not enough for bike smasher. :banghead:

Its mostly because the miles you put on Kelly ....you guys down south of the border ride like a bunch of fiends !!!

I remember we got our WR's about the same time...and within a few months I was amazed how many miles you were racking up compared to myself...I only have about 1800kms on mine

I think thats a good thing...keep putting on those miles .:thumbsup:


keep it up and get that TE449 asap

Washington is full of hard core riders. My ride buddies say i am crazy and want to ride more than anyone but i just say... Jake. :D Jake on this forum likes to ride as much or more then me. In fact he is at indoor MX right now the bastid. But your right, lots of miles means broken bikes. I don't do much crash damage (hardly any) but the motors and suspension take a beating over time.

If it was the moment I am thinking of, in Oregon, in October that was indeed a hard head on, based on the carnage. :)

Or was there a hard head on in September, and you forgot about October?


Regardless, it sounds like you are having fun. :thumbsup:
