  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 serviced the bike today and drained the old castrol 10-50w out and there didnt seem to be much in there in fact hardly any but theres no blue smoke on startup or riding it starts and runs fine so just wondering is it normal to burn oil
 
My '10 TE250 blows oil out the breather and into the airbox when ridden at hi-rpms.

Bike only starts with 900cc oil so if you blow out 300cc it aint much left.

Are you getting any blow-by? Oil that is forced out of the crankcase/head breather tube and winds up in the airbox?

the breather has been cut and placed at the front of the frame and the hole in the airbox pluged by the preveous owner but no oil comeing out of the breather. i service my bike by the book evry 8hrs mx. my dad whoose a mechanics thinks this is silly but after the oil change we will be keeping an eye on the level. now im no pro rider but i do rev it quite hard. just want to know if this is normal. but there was probably 400ml of oil left not good
 
If there is no evidence of blow-by, then yeah, you're burning oil somewhere, with no blow-by (the rings) then the next culprit is the valve stem seals, pull the exhaust and look up into the exhaust valve area, see if it is oily.

the bike had done around 20hrs when i bought the bike and now another 20hrs due to a broken shoulder etc but the bike is in a1 condition and my dads a mechanic and seems to understand that it may burn abit of oil due to it beeing hi reving and the oil beeing piss thin. but i dont understand that theres no oil comeing out of the exhaust or breather when runing and riding and husqvarna say that they burn 100ml of oil per days hard racing. 1. i dont race it hard 2. it does 8hrs in approx 3 rides so thats 300ml not 600ml . will check the valve stem seals next
 
I get quite a fair bit of oil behind my filter (definitely engine oil), it has always done it but a few times lately there has been so much that it has dripped out of the air box and onto the swingarm.

How much is normal exactly? And I had it tipped over few times lately, does it backflow to the airfilter under these conditions also?

Tipping over to the right, along with the bike running, will result in alot of oil in the airbox.

Lots :), observed recently

I meant without it tipping how much oil vapour return is normal. Every air filter change since new I have noticed a small pool of oil on the "clean" side of the air filter/air box.

Does not use much oil so slightly off track of the orig post sorry.
 
My bike, less than 7000 miles, very little oil in the airbox, insignificant, a small pool like you have.

Now that it has 9000 miles, there is a considerable amount of oil being collected in the airbox, enough to run back and start soaking the bottom part of the filter. I anticipate that I need rings/piston because of the amount of compression that is going past the rings into the crankcase and then venting out the head breather.
 
I used my 2010 txc250/310 for a dualsport ride today. On two of the road sections where I had the bike in the upper rpms for an extended period of time it seems to have started pushing oil into the intake. The 2nd time it happened it pushed a lot of oil. Is this normal? Is there any tricks to stop it?
