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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey every-one, I am going to change the coolant soon on my wr150 and was wondering if any-body has used this before. I know there are other coolants out there but I am interested in comments good or bad about this particular one. Thanks:cheers:!
 
I can't imagine needing anything but regular coolant? my 125 runs cool no mater the temp or how much I beat on it.I have friends that use it in their KTM's and it seems to do the job fine.
 
Engine ice is great stuff, all the ktm owners I know with their orange tea kettles love it.

I have never boiled my 125, it rarely gets above 120 degrees on my temp gauge and the highest I have seen is 180.

Engine ice may be overkill.

Later,

Jake kind of hit it on the head. Great stuff but don't know that you need it with the small bores. I rarely can get my 165 over 180. I still use engine ice simply because I have been using it for years in everything. There are a number of products that work great but just not sure you will need them.
 
Thanks guys, I have never had any over-heating issues with my wr and don't feel that special coolant is necessary for it but I am also changing the coolant in my husaberg 450 four-stroke. I had my 'berg boiling pretty good on a nasty ride last year and I was going to use the same coolant in both bikes.:cheers:
 
I use it in my son's CRF450R and it does a good job. My WR250 has never even hinted like it wanted to overheat and would probably be fine with creek water and a packet of mustard for color.
 
Here's a thought, although Engine Ice is 26.00 a half gallon or so I prefer to use it for its safety factor. Propelene-glycol is non-toxic compared to ethelene glycol. Now you may ask how does that affect me, well... Last weekend riding out in the spanish springs area of Sparks, Nv I was chasing some local fauna up a hillside and at the top my radiator crossover tube blew a hole straight up. Within seconds i was coated from my forehead down to the seat with that sweat tasting blue stuff. The first thought was not how would i get back to my truck but how toxic was the coolant to my system. Ive seen what a small amount of antifreeze can do to a Dog (someday I'll catch the bastard that did it). I'm no tree hugger by any means but if I can avoid polluting my world I try.
