  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Pump Report

I posted a while ago about my 11' TXC 250 fuel pump crapping out. I decided to buy a cheap $40 pump online instead of the more popular aftermarket version as a replacement. After purchasing some good Gates hose and tiny hose clamps(the cheap pump has no "teeth" at the hose connecting point, but with the clamp was very secure), I was able to install the unit. So far it seems to work well. The "prime" noise is a bit louder, but after three, three plus hour rides, the bike still starts right up.
I should have asked this before, but has anybody needed to replace an aftermarket pump yet? I'm still fairly freaked out about the unit quitting on a ride; enough so that I have even considered going back to a carburated bike.
 
Thank you for quelling some of my paranoia. If it breaks again, I'll just leave the bike in the woods and take up distance running!
