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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

OK, I'm lazy.....rather than pull my nipples out (that sounded, uhhh, kinky painful) and measure them with calipers, I thought I'd slovenly post here to see if anybody will take pity on me and throw me a bone :D .

Also, does anybody know of an alternative to the SpeedBleeder product? Not the MityVac but another brand of check valve bleeder valve?

TIA
 
Yeah, brakes are the topic du jour while I'm waiting on brown-suited Santa in the box sled to bring me a whole mess of parts.

Bike is a 610 and it's an '06 blue and yellow, carburetted gem manufactured at the Augusta plant prior to it being mistakenly sold to the propellerheads up north.

I found the other resource.....Ear'ls Solo-Bleed Bleeder Screws

However, I still haven't gotten out to the garage to pull a nipple off and measure it.....I was busy tonight shopping for MORE (:eek:) baby furniture.
 
Just to be clear, you are talking about the 6mm threaded bleeder for the brakes, right? At least i think its 6mm. Not positive, but almost positive.

Not the bleeder for the clutch-although its probably the same size.

Not the bleeders on the 45 mm forks on your bike? If those, then the bleeders are the same size as the KTM's--Kelly "motosportz" sells them.
 
Yep, brakes. Here's a picture of the Earl's Solo-Bleeders which seem to be an improvement over the SpeedBleeders.

Sorry to hijack but aren't all 610's still made at the MV Agusta plant in Varese? Mine is one of the early blue and Yellow one's too and I assumed they were all made there.....

Yeah, they're all made there....that was just a lame attempt to make a pithy jab at the growing legion of red and white riders who are now under the influence of BMW (who purchased the works in 2007) and Euro-spec'd fuel injection which, how should I say, SUCKS :D .
