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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2013 310r loose manifold? (video)

Hi guys,

I was getting my bike ready for a big week long riding trip that takes place in two weeks, so while I was looking over the bike and upgrading with zipty parts I noticed this...

View: https://youtu.be/wsj4PmhFrTU


Its got soot around where the manifold connects to the head, so I'm thinking something is missing such as a gasket.

This is a used bike and I've been tracking down a deceleration popping since day one, I hope this is the cause of that. I'm going to find the manual and see if I can find out more.

Highlight: watch the video and see if my exhaust manifold seems off.

Thanks
 
Exhaust was loose, and didn't have a gasket...

I ordered 2 new gaskets and am going to torque the bolts down to spec once the gaskets get here.

I'll post pictures of the gaskets and their part numbers once they arrive.

I never noticed how close the exhaust is the the coolant hoses. I might try to cover something with thermal protection wrap.
 
Hi, it seems that exhaust mainfold fixing plate is broken. Screw is not oem. It could have been produced due to overtighten or a very important temp change as a frozen river cross or something like this
 
Just from what you show in the video it looks like you're missing the front gasket, have you unscrewed the pipe to check if there's a gasket there?
 
The OEM gasket part number is 8A00H7088
The Decel popping is all gone and bike runs great now, I've put a little over 100 trail miles on it.
 
I had the same exact problem when new. The dealer in central NJ forgot to install the exhaust gasket after performing the so called power up kit. Some people just do things half assed and you need to check everything out yourself.
