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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Air Filter Screen 08 TE510

I left my screen in. I did hold the screen to the cage and cut around the cage with some snips. Much better seal now imo, and still have the backfire screen.
 
I've got a 510 with a carb and want to remove the backfire screen. Will I have to rejet? How does the screen come out?
 
I removed mine when I first got it and a couple days ago I had it on the stand running while I played with the powercommander settings and it backfired. A second later my air filter was smoking. Had to touch it to make sure it wasnt on fire. I put it back in after that.
 
I took mine out a few months back- I didn't like the way it effected the seal of the filter.

I still feel a little paranoid about it. BUT at least I don't use flammable liquids to clean the filter- that would have an effect on the probability of flaming the filter. I use PJ1 cleaner and filter oil.

I still think modding the screen like XLEnduroMan did is probably the best way to go.

For the person that asked about rejetting- no you shouldn't need to- this is not really a performance mod that effects flow a great deal.
 
does Twin air make the filters with the built in backfire protection for our bikes?
they make them for other models so you dont need the screen anymore.
