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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Overheated front brakes/ruptured brake line

Hi people,

I'm an owner of a TE511 2013, I was on a long 200km enduro ride yesterday and had squealing front brakes, which overheated and ruptured the brake lines.

Anyone else had this problem and are there bigger discs, better lines, or better fluids to use to not have this problem in the future.

PS bike has only done 500km since new

Cheers

Peter
 
ahhh brake fluid doesn't expand when it gets hot if it did the brakes would apply themselves as soon as the fluid started to heat up your wheel would have stopped turning long before you have a line rupture unless you ride like the wind [& a damn stiff one i mite add] the stock brakes outta be just ducky IMHO
