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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

removing front wheel

Ok, so I have all of the bolts removed, the axel out and the front wheel is hanging byu the front brake. Short of removing the entire brake which I can't do without buying yet more proprietary parts, is there any way tpo remove the front wheel?


I am having flashbacks to my old BMW am about one step away from trading this in on a Japanese bike. I swore I would never own a European bike and now I remember why.
 
I guess I should add that this is the SM model. Sorry for ranting, I am just amazed that the wheel won't come off of the brake.
 
WoodsChick ones told me this;

Oh yeah the front... before removing the axle, remove the 2 bolts that attach the caliper bracket to the fork (NOT the bolts that hold the caliper to the bracket) and then wiggle the whole thing off. The wheel will come off easy-as-you-please and then the real fun begins.

It worked for me so yeah, unbolt the caliper and wiggle it...just a little bit...:D
Seriously it should come off like that, it’s just a bit tight

BTW...there is nothing coming out of Japan right now in the 610sm category that comes quarter of the way to the 610...soooo my suggestion to you is take a deep breath, calm down, look at what you’re trying to do from all angles and take it slow
Most of the time it’ll work itself out and at all other times you can rely on this place

I removed the front wheel from my sm450 last week and it slid right out. DRZ's are a dime a dozen, flaunt your Husky.
 
I had a 2007 drz, got bored with it, always looking for 6th gear after 70 kmph, sold it after 6 months, never missed it, got a new 08 sm 610 (for a sweet price!) I love it, it's a keeper. Will never sell it.
