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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

New Intake Boot Cracking!

I replaced my intake boot last spring as it had given up the ghost to old age on my 07 TE250. It got brittle and was starting to crack so a new replacement was in order. Now my new intake boot is starting to get cracks!

Bike has always been stored in my garage, never exposed to sun light, except when it is being ridden, which is not that often. Have to many bikes.

This is B.S.**************************************** I purchased a new, in the wrapper, oem boot, from a reputable Husky dealer. So what gives?

I see a lot of older bikes here has anyone else had a simular issue? I don't want buy another one that is going to go to shit in less than year!
 
I sealed mine up with silicone years ago and haven't had any problems. A few years ago, someone on here had found that all the replacement boots were the same age as the bike, if not older. All of them were NOS( new old stock). That's why when mine had shown signs of cracking, I used black silicone very sparingly over the cracks.
