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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Is the plastic coolant resevoir supposed to have reserve coolant in it and not be empty or is it just for when / if system purges? Mine's empty but radiator level is good.

Thanks guys...
 
I think most will say that it's good to run a minimum amount in the bottle, then when the really hot stuff comes down the tube on an overheat, it will get cooled a little by what's in the bottle, and not melt the bottle.

I tried running a minimum amount of coolant in the bottle, but when the bike needed to expand more than the bottle would hold, the excess just squirted out the cap. I don't even look at the bottle any more, as long as the rad level is where I want it, I don't care about the bottle.
 
Perfect! Thanks OHR************************************************************************************************************************!!!
