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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Manual Cam Chain Tensioner

I just installed APE MCCT on my 610. I measured out the distance of 11 clicks on the ACCT and marked the thread on my MCCT. That way, I'd know when I need to replace the cam chain.

See the blue mark on the tread?

When that blue mark hits the locking nut, that's equivalent to 11 clicks. I noticed that the MCCT doesn't require as much pressure on the chain to do the job. It's probably pushing on the cam chain guide 7mm less than the ACCT.

Here's a video. I'm not used to Huskies yet but it always seem WAY too noisy compare to my past sportbikes and DRZ400SM....

Does the 630 have the auto-tensioner, and will it likely suffer the same accelerated cam chain wear as the 610?

Yes it's got an auto tensionser, but so far I haven't heard any tales of early chain wear on the 630...
It is a completely different head...

Someone tried to remove the ACCT on the 630 and it's a completely different setup. There are no clicks to count.

The ACCT on the 630 is identical to every other bike ACCT I've ever worked on, honda, yamaha, etc...
Of course, this is my first Husky :P
