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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

There is a drain hole on the front of your air filter cover that is open. Attach a 3/8" rubber fuel line to this opening and run it down under the skid plate. This will eliminate the oil blow by mess on your valve cover.
As for the coolant, I run waterless XF coolant from Zip-Ty racing. It will never over boil or boil for that matter, and XF keeps the engine about 20° cooler at elevated temps.
 
These engines run really hot initially, it could be that you just boiled it out. I had bad over heating issues with my 511, I even over boiled EngineIce. As soon as I started running XF, I had zero issues. I have never heard of an head gasket issue on the 449s...

I just heard from my dealer that husky has a fix for the flame outs. They have mine right now. Apparently the voltage is too low to the TPS. They have had success with this in Italy. They are raising the voltage and setting idle at 1950 rpm. Will post if it makes a difference when I get to ride. Fingers crossed...

have you had any success with this fix
I turned up my idle and that seemed to help
also running on hard setting works better, on soft it likes to stall more
 
Haven't been able to ride yet, dealer still working with Husky to get things right. Will post as soon as I can ride...
 
They had a flu breakout at the shop. Called me yesterday and should get it back today or tomorrow. Patiently waiting, if its fixed it will be well worth it:-)
 
I got my bike back and they did a great job. If you need info call Evansville Super Bike Shop and talk to Jim. He dealt directly with Husky until they got things right. They also addresses the clutch drag issue. Husky actually has a part and procedure to fix this. They have different size spacers that go in your clutch pack. You simply measure the pack (I don't know the exact size it should be) and do the math and order the correct spacer. Made a huge difference. Contact the shop at (812) 477-1740 and ask for Jim or Alex. They should be able to help.
