• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Sprocket Nut Recall

RDTCU

My dealer just called me and let me know that Husky has put out a recall on the rear sprocket locknuts and that they are sending out some new ones under warranty.

Hmm, looks like they're finally doing something about it...

I've been checking mine fairly regularly and have yet to have one start to work loose after ~1500 miles...
 
I think (hope^^) that they only loosen within the first 1000km or something like that. Mine were loose after 800km but never loosened again afterwards.
 
Tightened mine when I got the bike but they still fell off with less than 1000 km on bike. Poor quality locknuts! Replaced with some from local bolt shop. No issues since.
 
I checked with Hall's. Mine isn't affected by the recall. My sprocket nuts haven't loosened up one bit since I got the bike.
 
My were locktited so I left them. But yeah, all of the lock nuts have those those funky cheapo looking locking tabs in the threads, not like a nyloc. I'm tempted to just replace all the nuts with nylocs and locktite them again.

Is it an actual recall? Are they sending out notices to owners? Do you know what serial ranges are affected?

My dealer said it was an actual recall and they had sent out some packs of replacement nuts. I should probably have them in the mail today, I'll see what the difference is...

I believe mine are nylocs.
 
Mine are still tight (7000 kms) too and each of the nuts has a yellow safety paint bar on it. Maybe done by the dealer when the bike was new (Germans are like that).
