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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

AGAIN!!?? 630 radiator any one know a Area Rep

AA Class
OK so what last August my right side radiator sprang a leak and I had a huge issue with getting it serviced here in Sacramento. :banghead:
Well today just as I pulled into work (off course it couldn't have happended at home) my left side radiator is spewing coolant. Now this time it's out of warranty.:banghead::censored:
Considering the problems I had last timne and that there was a last time anyone think the area Husqy rep would hook me up with either a new radiator or have it fixed under warranty?

Regardless I'm going to MotoXotica this time around.

I'm 20 miles form home any thoughts on if I should ride it home or have the wifey come get me and load it up for the trip back???
 
Got mine from MotoXotica, ~$200 bucks. I wish there was a TOYO replacement, these Alexons seem a little delicate...
 
That's just the radiator... Install is simple enough, though.

I've contemplated building a radiator support for the outer mount bolt. With the wide tank shrouds, a drop can flex the radiators a bit, causing a weak spot.

Check your PM, i just sent you something...
 
OK so here's the deal. Motoxotica 183.00 plus tax:eek: Mylers Radiators 135.00:eek: Shipped to my door or 35.00 to repair plus 10-20 for strengthing bands to make sure it doesn't happen again. So here is what i'm thinking have them repair the left and put the extra bands onn the right and left (seems like good insurance) shouldn't cost me more than 100.00 shipped both ways. I'm not sure how the extra bands will rpevent the vibration from cracking the welds/soldering but the guy I talked to today seemed pretty confident. I'll call them back tomorrow and talk about it a little more before I send them off.
 
Ok so final dispo is that I just took the radiator to a radiator shop here in Sacto. Guy fixed it for 20 bucks, same day service. I decied to try putting DIP (think plastic coating on tool handles) oon the edges of the tank (no I didn't clog any of the fins) to help reduces the transfe of vibrations from the frame to the radiators. I'll let every one now how it works in about a year or another couple thousand miles.
 
Here's a thought. Run XF coolant in your radiators. Normal coolant runs at pressures as high as 26psi, XF runs one or two psi. Less stress on the radiators and hoses, plus its non corrosive so it never has to be changed.
 
The boiling temperature of XF is 375°F and it will never get that hot so the pressure remains low at all times.
Ty runs it in his 630, why it came to mind in this thread.

What ratio do you run it with water? Or is it straight?

So does your XF coolant not get up to the same operating temp as regular type coolant? Since you state pressure is much less I would think this is the case. If so I wouldn't it change running condition due to temp sensor not thinking bike is fully warmed up?

Thanks for posting. Not sure if my TE needs this as it never runs hot but I'll be putting this into my KTM at next change. No overflow reservoir on that bike so needs all the extra help it can get.

If the boiling point is higher, the vapor pressure is probably lower. If it's run straight with no water, that could mean that the system pressure would be lower.
