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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Stator clean

Finally got around to cleaning my stator today. After nearly 4000 Kms it was about time. I had to drop the bash plate and remove the gear lever-no issues there. The stator came off easily. It looked pretty clean but I gave it a once over with some hospital strentgh alcohol wipes. A lot of black gunk came off, it took about 4 wipes to get it clean so that no more gunk came off. After putting it all back the engine fired up straight away-phew. The only down side is that checking over the bike I noticed the roller on the chain guide was frozen. I pulled it off and the bearings just went every where-missed that bit of maintenance-only 20 bucks for a new roller and bearings. Finally the top of the guide was getting pretty cut up by the chain. One trick that works is to fill the grooves/gauges with liquid nails-good as new.
 
There is a much better example of cleaning a stator than I could provide (with pics) in the archives.
