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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Header silencer leak

Hi CH members
last sunday I noticed, with the motorcycle just turned on and in back light, a little smoke coming from the header-silencer junction. I was thinking this weekend of dismantling the silencer and giving a veil of motorsil (an heat resistant silicone that resists up to 300 °C) that I use in the 2T junctions because is the olny thing in my garage I can use to try to seal it.
It has already appened to you, what you used as a sealant!
Many thanks
 
In the states we have a product called heat resistant RTV. It may be the same stuff as motorsil just a different name. I used it to seal the same area on my Husaberg in the 90's. It got the job done but if my memory serves me right it would eventually loose its sealing ability due to vibration. It certainly wouldn't hurt to try it since you have already some.
 
On the instructions that came with my FMF silencer it said to use hi-temp silicone to seal the connection. I used a red hi-temp and it worked for a while.
 
You can’t go wrong with any of the Loctite products out there ... I used this when I repacked my 296 FMF silencer so far it’s holding up good D168D34E-DD24-41BE-A4FF-37F87F8D1551.png
