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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Mexican Gas?

I'm planning a week long trip to Baja (my first) and understand that gas there may be of questionable quality. Anyone had experience with that in a modern FI bike (mine is a 2008 TE 450 with power up). At home I run Mobil 93 octane and suspect octane there will be significantly lower. I'm not a big believer in octane booster but would appreciate any advice.
Thanks!
 
You've got a good question there. Can't say about the petrol, but I can tell you one thing: Don't drink the water:thumbsdown: Hope you have a good trip!
 
the gas is fine, according to George, a veteran of Baja. He thinks it's better (no corn) I'm pretty sure and we filled up from the pumps withOut adding race gas on the one trip I went on.

"Nova" means leaded if you see it

Green pump color is not diesel

"No va" is Spanish for "No Go." There was a big debacle about the Chevy Nova when it was first exported to Mexico...
 
Run the Supreme found in larger cities( RED) pump, it's what we race with in Baja mixed with race gas. But for just riding it's better than our pump here ( no smog crap in it). The ( Green ) pump is Magna Sin on par with here almost,not as good but better than the old Nova.
If any problems down there give a call (714) 540-2920.
Later George
 
Thanks for the guidance. I've heard that gas in more remote areas isn't from actual gas stations but hand pumped from containers, or worse yet, from gallon jugs and the like. Guess that's what had me worried - not that we'll have much choice... Someone had suggested carrying octane booster but I'm not a believer and don't need any more weight.
