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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just figured I would let anyone interested in knowing what kind of condition my bike is in after 2300 miles. From day one Mobil 1 OW40 European oil changed every 4-6 hours. There were a few times it went a little longer because of being on a multiple day ride and no way to change it. K&N filters, paper ones. Checked the valves and they are spot on. Triple checked them. Cams have no visible wear on them at all. Did not take cylinder off and look at Piston. Bike is completely stock, no reflash or anything. Original coolant also, never boiled it one time. I am a slow A rider so Im not putting around, barely revving it. I have done a handful of Hare Scrambles and Enduros, and the rest are Dual Sports and a few trips to Colorado and Moab. Bike has been really solid, one slight fork seep.
Anyway been a great bike, and plan on keeping it at least 1 more season. Came off of 2 strokes, and was leary of the problems that can occur on a 4 stroke if it has problems, but glad I did it now.
 
Thanks for posting. Glad to hear it has been reliable as a rock. I have a 2014 501 with 5K miles and about 250 trouble free hours. But thinking I really do not need all that power to ride dirt roads and some ATV trails. I like the smaller size of the 350 and just have that urge to change.
 
Thanks for the update sned. I also have a 2015 FE350s, it’s at just under 200 hours now. I’m using a stainless steel filter. I started with Rotella 5W40 but switched to Mobil1 0W40 after the first 4-5 oil changes. Bike has not skipped a beat! Valves were checked at 5 hours and again at 120 hours and never moved, so I haven’t bothered since then. Great bike and great oil!
