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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Oil consumption on 2010 TXC 250

Hi guys,

I've got 2010 txc250 and its using a lot of oil I think. its got about 50 hrs on it. Its not burning oil tho I'm sure, because its not smokey. The only thing I can think of is that I'm dropping it a lot! I'm still getting used to the lanes. Would dropping it on its side cause it to loose oil?

Cheers guys

Dave
 
The 2010 x-lights can suck a lot of oil into the airbox.

The valve cover vent runs right to the airbox which is constantly sucking oil in....the more street or hi speed rinding you do the more it sucks.

Yes, dropping it can put more oil in the vent tube.

The newer models have a different vent tube arrangement that sucks less but is harder to change the oil.
 
I've only rode mine a couple hundred miles and my oil disappeared also ... I'm hoping it changes in the future ... rings are not cheap and gaskets sets are expensive also ..

Is yours a new bike? Does it start up well?
 
I think my vent tube going to my airbox has been blanked off. I'll need to have a good look to make sure, where does the breather normally come from? The crankcase??
Its a 2010. Its a good starter, a little stall happy at times, especially on slow technical lanes.
No smoke. It only seems to use oil when on trails. on the road it seems fine.

cheers guys

My 2010 txc's breather goes from valve cover up to the frame backbone. It appears to use the frame as part of the system and then exits further aft with another tube that terminates to the airbox. Much different than my 08. I've not noticed a significant oil loss between changes and I've put a little over 100 hrs on it and dropped the hell out of the bike to both right and left sides. I did not rev the bike a lot, which may be a factor based on what I've read from other owners' experiences with unexplained oil loss.
