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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

coolant flush questions

'11 TE 310. Had a few little dismounts on the weekend, on the last one the bike gave me a beautiful fountain of coolant from the hole I poked in right lower rad hose. The trail side repair involved lots of electrical tape and hose clamps, followed by filling the rad back up with plastic camelback tapwater. After all that leaked out riding to the nearest big-box retailer that was open on a long weekend, I cobbled together some plumbing bits to get a watertight seal, then put in more tapwater as it was all that was handy to finish the weekend.

So...just flush it and refill with proper antifreeze/DI water mix? Anything else I should be worried about in terms of crud in the cooling system from 8 hard hours running water of very questionable purity?

Thx!

to be sure you could flush with 1 part vinegar and 1 part distilled water-

I was surprised what came out this year when I did that after the same coolant was in for about 2 seasons.
