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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ty and I are working on a new CNC machined oil breather that can be mass produced. You will be able to open it and clean it out. Anodized, laser etched, etc.

What would get into it that you would need to clean it out , does it increase oil capacity ?

I hope I dont have to get into my bank acct and clean it out to get one of these beauties when you and Ty finish them haha

Yea, I don't know what the total costs are yet, but I know that Ty doesn't gouge people, most of his stuff is sold barely over cost, it's a wonder he even makes a living.
 
One of the problems with the current breather is that once it starts throwing oil out, it acts like a siphon and continues to pump it out. By moving the breather to the valve cover, we will eliminate 90% of the blow by oil. This will allow more oil to be stored in the dry sump and cool the torque limiter.
 
So the amount of crankcase pressure being built up will still vent well enough thru the valve cover?
 
Will the tranny/cases handle this oil build up on the bottom ? Might be alot of hydraulic pressure at the starting line. ; )
 
Yes , for those who wish to increase the oil capacity by doing so the tranny will need to shed off a bunch of oil and will do so very fast and oil in this area will change coarse of flow momentarily back track towards the torque converter , only allowing a certain amount of flo " by design " to go past/threw the tranny... One reason your old design may have experienced the " siphon effect , ejecting oil out the case breather and the return line being on the same side as well" right of tranny" might be the reason for the oil load up on the right side and not making it over to the left side.
 
I wasn't refering to my design that siphons oil out, BMW's design does that and is why we have oil in our filters.

I understand what you are saying. The 449 case is a bit odd though, it has 5 compartments. It has the crank area which is sucked dry by pump #1, also blow by gasses are sucked through by #1 pump, so that area is completely sealed. 2. Far left side is compartment 3. rear right center is main oil storage. 4. right primary clutch cover and where pump #2 draws from. 5. clutch basket area. Gas flows from compartment 1 to 2 to 3 and then to 4 where it goes throught the torque limiter and out the breather.

:confused: I need to go back to school! He he!
 
Thanks for the complement Wheelin! Actually Ty is genius, his knowledge of motorcycles towers over mine. Just the other day I was adjusting my rear brake on my 511 and noticed the little round adjuster. Ty designed that, on all of our 449/511's and Husqvarna manufactured it. Ty sells the anodized version, bling bling, oh yea.. haha. But yes, many of the parts on our bikes was designed by Ty.

I think that its really cool that Ty designed parts for a bike that ends up as a stock component! Did he design any other parts that made it through the factory production process?
 
Ty Davis was the factory race team leader for Husqvarna, his testing and input changed the 2010 449 (yes 2010) to what you see now in the 11-13 models.
