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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

'09 and the Y pipe affliction

Am I to ASSUME that the '09's still suffer from the coolant flow affliction as previous models. Uptite Y to the rescue?
 
I bought the Y-pipe from uptite,but havent used it yet,my bike doesnt seem to get that hot??
 
They sure do. I just installed the uptite "Y" on my 09 the other day. The bike wasn't suffering from any overheating issues I was aware of prior to the installation on the "Y" but, when you look at the flow characteristics with the stock "T" installed the design is essentially by-passing the right radiator therefore forefitting the full potential cooling capacity of the system. Seems silly not to have a Y there.
 
Hmmm. The right rad has the coolant fan. Could be because the only place to put it. I did the Up-tite "Y" also on my 08 TE450. The fan still comes on (hot day, slow tech or sand) It's a better mod for sure.
 
Uptite Y

OK so I'm clueless....I'll admit it. Just got the 'Y' and there are no instructions. Has anybody put out a 'how to' thread on this? I can't find one. I'm assuming the tank must be removed and coolant drained? I have the '09 TE 510. Thanks.
:excuseme:
 
Remove tank, fuel line quick connect and wiring. (Be very careful of the fuel pump plastic pipe on bottom of tank)
You may loose a little coolant but not that much.
Get two new SS hose clamps and throw the pinch clamps in your adventure bag. (They work in a pinch.) ;) Loosen the hose clam coming off the pump housing so you can slightly rotate as needed to remove the pinch. I actually cut a ½ inch off for less of a pinch on this hose.
Any more questions, just ask? :cool:

Yeah, click the letter Y above; it's a linky.
