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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Right side yes. Depending on what the vent hole is connected to will determine the extent of the debris. Oil will continuously drain back to the engine or it will be allowed to flow upward into the drain back line.

Can't you ever draw any pictures ? Ha ha

Actually, you can mount my breather bottle to either side of the cylinder, a small bracket can be made to accomplish this.

That sounds like way too much work. I am going to bypass the bracket fabrication and just carry my bottle in my lap, or an over the tank luggage rack, that would be super rad.

You could also remove the stock battery and swap for a capaciter. With the extra room in the gas tank slot you could fit in a breather box there... You would need to carry a battery on your wrist though....
 
I have decided to increase the engine life of my 511, so next time I go riding I am going to just push my bike around. :thumbsup:
 
On the new breather bottles, would you rather have hose fitting that were pressed in, or threaded fittings which will allow for hose fittings and AN fittings?
 
Here's my solution. 1200 cc oil after oil and filters drain. Seems to work fine, nothing makes it to the filter. I'll end up making a dust shield for the filter at some point. I got a measured 1150 cc of oil from the engine and filter when I drained it, it had puked out at least 100 cc before that. I may like this bike again. Thanks for the encouragement on oil levels and such.

If pressed in is what everyone wants, I imagine they all will be that way. I will tap mine out for AN fittings, I'm tired of hose clamps...
 
Well , FYI the drain hole for the battery area is huge and looks like if I can find a battery small enough to share room with the breather bottle I can make a 2 sided box to silicone in and JB weld a return line stuffed in the drain hole then route that carefully around the shock to to a AN fitting threaded to a modified stock filler cap , run the vent line into the back fender or could find batteries small enough to fit in the fender ..... Any thoughts ?? lol
 
I think I will make a battery tray to bolt on the right side of engine then that would give more room for a box under the seat ! That's what's going to happen if the hose will clear the shock then all a will have to do is build a lid .... word
