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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Zip Ty decompression plug?

I cant remember who told me about it on this board, but apparently Zip Ty makes a plug for the manual decompression system that eliminates it all together. However I cant find it on their website. Anyone have a part #?

FYI this is for a 450.
 
I think your mixxing up the hotstart for FCR's with the Decomp- I know they make a hotstart plug that is aluminum rather than the plastic stock piece.

You can eliminate the Manual Decomp- by taking out the bolt on the MC and taking off the lever. Then take the cable off. The cable wheel on the head will then stay in place. I think you thought there was a part to replace the cable wheel for a clean look. I have never heard of or seen anything like that. Personally, I don't use the manual Decomp- but see a purpose if out on trail and a river crossing or something like that goes wrong and you want to clear the cylinder of any possible water intrusion. ON an SM- this possibility becomes nonexistant for most situations I am sure.
 
All of the ZipTy bikes (450/510 family) have the manual decomp lever and all associated hardware removed. They install a "sano" red anodized al. plug into the head in the place of the actuator arm/shaft.
 
oh.. ok.:doh: so its like I explained in theory... except it exists:applause:

Like Santa Clause and the M&M dudes: "they do exsist!":eek:
