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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

13 TXC 310 thermostat switch

Just ordered new rad hoses which gets rid of thermostat and auto radiator fan switch. Does anyone make a plug and play on/off fan switch for bike? How necessary is fan on a 13 TXC310? Most of my riding/racing is 3rd and up gears. Not a whole lot of tight 1rst and 2nd gear single track. Do I really need the fan? I rode my 10 TC 250 in some pretty tight stuff and it never overheated.
 
If it were my bike, I would leave the fan in. I just used a simple on/off switch from HDB. One wire goes to the red wire on the fan and the other wire to a switched 12v source. The fan is there for a reason...you might cause more problems without it. (ie. Cracked head, blown motor)
 
just leave it on, you'll be more bullet proof with it, even though it is another possible fail point..... I like the switch idea, Ive been thinking about that lately, you enter an ugly section and turn the thing on manually, but still have the thermostat in line for the auto on function.....oh crap more wiring/switch for more potential fail spots....
 

note these EE guards are from early production the new ones are tooled to mount the fan assy. I used the OEM frame and modded the guard and frame to mount it.
