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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi Guys,
Replaced the gearbox oil with Motorex 10W30 a couple of weeks back and accidently overfilled it.
The manual says 800ml, I put 900ml in.

Anyway have ran the bike for 6 hrs now without issue.

Any comments on why overfilling is bad compared to benefits of better coverage over gears, cooler oil running temps, better for clutch to be fully immersed.

Husky knows best and says 800ml but.......

Thanks in anticipation.
 
These have a gearbox breather if I recall so that shouldn't happen Matman but it could happen if the hose got badly blocked. The only thing that comes to mind would be possible loss of power due to drag of the components trying to move through the oil when they shouldn't be. But I could be completely wrong.
 
I use to always dump in 800cc for years but now I'm using the level screw and the bike only takes maybe 600. Seems like the bike isn't very fussy about oil level.
 
Overfilling can cause oil to get whipped and aireated. aireated oil looses its load-carrying capacity. The recommended fill quantity is carefully calculated to be enough that the transmission scavenges enough oil when the transmission is spinning and flinging oil but not so much that it is churning in it causing drag and possible aeration. I'm not saying an extra 100cc will hurt it. I am saying it is best to use the amount recommended by the engineers who designed the motor.
 
easy to solve

just turn out the oil fill level bolt (near the clutch cover) and let it bleed oil till it stops.

The bike have to be in a straight standing position.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the responses, the breather is free (sucked on it) and checked that twice for seepage and none. Have to agree with moto marc36 and take my hat off to husky engineers.
