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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc '11 wr 300-missing crankcase breather hose

Somehow the breather hose and elbow/union managed to disappear. That's a first. I've order oem replacements, but I am not sure they'll be here in time for this weekend's race. Assuming dry conditions this weekend, can I run the bike w/out the hose and elbow without fear of loosing any tranny fluid? I may be able to rig a short piece of tubing into the hole on the crankcase, but it may likely come out during the race. Please advise. Thanks.
 
I'd be more worried about sucking grit in rather than pushing fluid out. I'd measure the hole and head to the hardware store and try to find something that will work.
 
It just plugs in (unless you have snapped the fitting in), either way Uranys is correct or you can tap a hose fitting into it ... just make sure you flush the tranny fluid out afterwards :thumbsup:
 
I used a 12" long section of 1/4" OD vinyl tubing, shaved the end down slightly to fit, and secured it in placed w/some black rvt silicone. Easy-peazy.
 
I shoved a hose in the hole and zip tied it to the intake boot. You can use compressed air at low pressure to blow metal shavings out as you tap the hole. Put the air hose in through the oil fill hole. And of course i would still change oil.
