Te 300 Bendix

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Hi All

I have a 14 te300 that I believe has a bendix failure.
Anybody know where to get one in the UK, iv read i need a 2016 upgrade with matching crown wheel.
Does it matter which starter it has on it or does that have to match too?
I'm also going to change the piston but there are 4 different sizes , I'm guessing that the reason for this is for wear and re boring etc.

Finally the manual states the stock spring is rated for riders up to 85 kg, I'm 95kg in my birthday suite, anyone else around my weight and got any advice?

Please could anyone shed any light on these points.

Thanks
