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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2008 Te 510 Oil Screen....Olderhuskyrider????

2008 te 510, 203 hrs, 2900 miles and well ridden...anal about oil changes. Every 300 miles +-. Screen.jpg Usually nothing notable with the oil changes until today's screen inspection and this is by far the most crap I've ever seen on it. Tore into the filter, nothing there, looking good. So, why all of a sudden this? Pretty much the same for the other larger inner screen too. Scraped the bits off and ran then around and in between my fingers, kind of gritty. Nothing metallic though. Thoughts?
 
Looks like gasket material, it didn't feel spongey/springy/soft?

That's the forward screen, that catches mostly top end stuff, I think, maybe cam chain tensioner material. Maybe check the number of clicks on your ACCT.

next oil change, take the plug out of the bottom and when the oil finishes draining, put your finger up in the sump and feel around for any more of that stuff sitting in the bottom of the sump.

Next oil change, you better get a screen for your waste oil can and screen the hot oil when you dump it into the waste can.
 
Maybe burned coating from the stator, the stuff that the copper wire wraps are coated in, watch for changes in your stator performance.
 
Thanks OHR, I was thinking it may be a bit of clutch material??? Both screens had captured this debris by the way. It was not soft or spongey. Will use a screen next change for sure.
