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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

How good is your oil?

I thought some may be interested, I have my oil analysed and the analysis is below.

Notes:

Factory recommendations for a TE610 being AGIP10W60

10W60 has to stretch a long way, so to be expected is a big viscosity drop, to a high SAE 30, or low SAE40.

Same oil in my Harley stayed in grade for 3,000 miles at close to 19, but Harley engine oil does not see the gearbox, so there is less shear.

Lots of copper in the analysis??

Iron, getting better towards standard for a dirt bike, but high compared to a street bike, means lower engine life.

Not too bothered by the viscosity drop, but for those who want more a 20W50 will probably handle the Husky better, as it has to stretch 2 1/2 times, as opposed to 6 times.

The additive pack looks great.

The air filter is doing an exceptional job, looking at insolubles.

Great thing to do. I did not even knew that an average guy/girl could do this without spending thousands of dollars. How much did it cost and how much oil samples do I need to send them?

Thanks for showing your report ... I'd like to do these but can't find the $ for it ..

What about the top line, MI/HR on oil ,...Is this 887 miles on this oil sample?

And what viscosity is 14.5 cSt? I can never find this conversation on line easily ...

I like your idea on 20-50WT ...

Ray Ray...George at Uptite also uses a 20-50 on his Huskys...he uses the semi synthetic Spectro Off Road

Yes that was 887 miles on the oil.
14.5 cST is right in the middle of a SAE40 grade, so the 10W60 AGIP is behaving as a 10W40 after 887 miles. There is a little fuel dilution, but not enough to cause this drop, means the oil sheared down.
Cost of an analysis is $25, they send you a small kit and the sample is a few ounces.
