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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Leak Down Test - Dirt Ingested Terra 650's - Extent of damage

My Terra has ingested a lot of dirt I feel (just how much cannot be quantified) but it has been hours of riding.

I want to gauge the extent of damage to my bike by comparing it to others including those who may not have not ingested any dirt to see if I have anything to worry about...it should help everyone and put our minds ease:) or not.......:mad:

So, who has performed a "leak down test" and what numbers did you see please?

Mine reading is 12%...which seems high for a bike that has only done 3400k's. 7 April (rechecked and got 10%) its somewhere close, so I'm pretty happy with that.

Intake - barely audible
Crankcase - just audible
Exhaust - audible (this is the biggest leak)
 
Compression test is a no go with decompression.

Leak down test is the best by far the best, it shows you where the leaks are and to what extent.
