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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fuel line as replacement for Oil breather line??

So, decided to pack up trailer and head out to some local trails about an hour outside of town where I usually bump into some other likeminded riders to play. Was juuuuust about to pack up after some relaxing meandering around some amazing single track when a guy pulls in with a single bike.....sure....why not head back out....of course tired and wanting to get some time in resulted in dumping the bike a few times with the major culprit being a tight steep sand climb. "Damage" was my oil breather line melting and dumping a wack of oil on mid pipe (area of line that melted) and into the airbox...Gingerly got back to trailer and created a mental list of things that need to be tweeked prior to next ride.

After removing and bringing this original, now inflexible melted line to small engine shops, LBS, and automotive shop...found a line that would work for replacment...it's fuel line...question....is this beefy enough for replacement of the oil breathing line that goes from head to air box?? I'm thinking this line really doesn't carry oil unless overflow or upside down (essentially how I ended up on the sand climb). Another solo ride planned for today and just want to ensure I don't end up with a catastrophic while out there...thanks in advance for your opinions
 
The difference between fuel, oil, and trans hose is temp, and resistance to chemical breakdown. Oil lines tend to be oil resistance, but lower pressure then modern fuel injection line. That said I ended up using fuel line for the zip-ty bypass and it's been fine.
