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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey had a big stack on the weekend riding some rough single track , any way reason why was iv came down a hard left with some pace and hit the rears to slide in and there was no feel at all and ended up way off track. Had a look st all mechanical parts and all was working ok just had no pressure in the leaver at all and noticed the banjo at the caliper had a little fluid around it.

So assuming I lost all the fluid some how just wondering if anyone else has had this issue don't want to just put more fluid in and it happens again. It's a 2010 te450 with standard brembos

Thanks for any advice
 
Just sounds like it's come lose and now you have air in the system, needs bleeding, checking over for leaks or fractures and off you go again?
 
I lost pressure on mine one day in some tough single track but it was due to me drag braking, overheated the fluid, the brake cam back after cooling, I didn't do anymore drag braking.
 
Check the brake line near where the master cylinder sits - Follow the line, check that the line hasnt rubbed away where it contacts the crank case (it heads towards the motor then loops back and sits along the swingarm, that loop contacts the motor). I noticed mine is worn through to the steel brading, if it keeps rubbing it will wear through that and I will lose rear braking.

I hate that "Stupid Loop"...

Here is the fix... It wont last long. I will replace it with race tape or maybe some nylon sheet wrapped around the tube
