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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

New chain--take a link out?

New chain and sprockets, 13/50, on my TE 250/300. I got it from Motosportz (thanks, Kelly!). Nice piece of kit, but it seems long. It came with 116 links, and adjusted properly I have only one visible hashmark on the swingarm behind the axle block. Very little room for adjusting should it stretch. Should I take a link out?


Thanks!
 
Nevermind. Would've made sense to count the number of links in my original chain before posting up, right? Original with the same gearing had 114 links.

Kelly, do you sell master links for this chain?
 
You can totally take one link out! A little safety wire and the ends connect right up. Of course, you can't actually RIDE the machine like that...

Took TWO links out this morning and it looks just right.:)
 
Sorry, I missed this one. Yes, we send the chain at 116 links to work with most gearing with some cutting. Are you saying you did not get the master or want an extra?

BTW - This direct stuff is best addressed via our Motosportz Email - motosportz@gmail.com

Thanks,
Kelly
 
Kelly,

I got a link with the chain and it's fine, but I'd like to get a spare or two. I'll shoot you an e-mail.
