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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

JUST A QUICK QUESTION???

I've never owned a bike with a foam/ oiled air filter, how often does one take it out and clean it? i'm not doing alot of offroading mabye on the weekends, mostly back and forth around town?

thanks in advance,
 
No Toil makes good air filter cleaner & oil.

Clean filter thoroughly with the cleaner. Let it dry. Oil it. Done!
 
I would say that conditions encountered dictate when the filter needs to be cleaned. If it's dusty, sandy, muddy or you get it wet from puddles it will show signs of needing to be cleaned as in dirty looking. I always cleaned my after every race, or if multiple days of riding when it wasn't really sandy/muddy dusty conditons when I was done 2-3 days.The amount of time you spend riding hours/miles can also be an indication of when to clean. The best way is a visual inspection if it looks dirty clean it. What you don't want happening is the dirt/sand crud migrating into the motor, past the air filter. I have always bought 2 or 3 new filters and just changed them when dirty and when all of them were dirty I'd do the cleaning ritual.
 
What I do is keep a spare clean & oiled filter in a ziploc baggie hanging in the garage. The excess oil settles to the bottom of the bag, so you don't get that goop collection in the bottom of your airbox. When the filter I'm using gets dirty, I swap them out.
