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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Doing a little maintenance before winter. Valve adjust, o/f change and bag filter cleaning, clean air filter, grease suspension etc. Decided to install a MCCT like my DRZ.

Pulled out the stock ACCT and found this:

I set the MCCT lock nut to the same spot that the ACCT was. Then hand tightened the MCCT until I felt some resistance (per APE instructions). The distance was half of where the ACCT said it should be.

I stopped there and started the bike. It rattled briefly as it always does then quiet. Runs fine with no rattling or drivetrain noise. In fact unscrewing the MCCT more made no difference.

Is this the norm or a new high for the TE. Like high(er) maintenance?
 
Did you remove the spring before removing the auto tensioner? If not it will push it to max when you remove it.

No I didn't. I thought the spring thing was for reinstallation. :confused:

If you think about it, the only thing that is holding the plunger in is the tension from the chain so if you remove the whole assembly at once then the plunger is going to go to fully extended.

All true. /\ /\ So what was it really at? Do you know?

I never re-installed the stock tensioner to check the actual distance. With the manual tensioner in place it only used half of the distance as in the photo. I would say around seven clicks as a guess.

I feel like such a ....:doh:
