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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc Blanked off power valve pipes....

Can someone tell me what the 2 pipes coming out of the side of my power valve are for and if they are both supposed to be blanked off?

I had a 98 but can't remember what they looked like. Usually 1 is a vent, the other is blocked off to catch the excess spooge. You should drain it from time to time. Word of warning wear rubber gloves as that stuff is hard to get off your hands and the floor. Current bikes have the other one as a vent.

Tim,
Current 125's don't have any vents at all.
 
I think the older style power valves with their much larger cross section allow a much larger amount of spooge to get into the power valve chamber. Having a drain line that you can manually drain is that much less going through the silencer or onto your other parts.
 
I have the older cylinder on my 09 and I think Walt is correct. Seems like I don't have as much spooge since it drains below the frame. I know Evans old RM was drained as well. Maybe we could bottle this stuff up and sell it to get rid of Arthritis?
