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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Rear brake siezure on my 1999 610sm

I really am cursed with this bike! As much as I love her she is proving to be a right pita! After months of rebuilding I took her out for a ride today to get some miles on the clock in an effort to run in the overhauled engine only to find about 3 miles in that the rear brake is starting to sieze in the closed position****************************************
I managed to get home by which time the pads and disk were fused together in nuclear meltdown. I guess I should have checked the brake system after months of standing and assume the pistons have seized due to lack of use.
A little surprised but hey that's life. I plan to strip down, check disc for distortion, replace pads and clean calliper/pistons and replace fluid.
Is there anything else I need to check/replace? Also I can't find any disks on flea bay so I wondered best place to buy one.
Cheers
Chris
