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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Leaking green/blue fluid from new bike

Hey guys, got under 100 Kms on a 2013 te449 that was bought brand new. Just noticed today that it was leaking a greenish blue viscous liquid from somewhere above the head. Enough to make a ver small puddle on a the ground and coat the left side of the cylinder and engine case. There was also a small amount on the right side of the cylinder head. I'd prefer not to have to make the 70 mile trip to the dealer... Anyone see this before? Seems the wrong color for oil unless they put a different type of oil in it from the factory. It looked like it may have come from a small tube that sticks out from what I assume is the airbox. image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg
 
Took off the side panel and checked the filter... That's exactly what it was! Thanks you so much brother, that's a real load off my mind! :) seems a bit strange though that they'd overlube it to the point of dripping everywhere straight from the favtory though.
 
Yep that's it, notice the drain hose from the Airbox is where it came from. Also check your oil level while you're looking things over. Crankcase oil mixed with the green air filter oil can look a little blue. The crankcase breather is routed to the Airbox as well.

The dealer usually does a few little things as pre sale prep. That would include oiling the air filter. I know they usually get the new guy to do it right after he has finished sweeping the floor or changing a tyre etc.
