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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Overheating issues 05 TE250

On my past couple of rides, my bike's water temp has started to get a lot hotter then normal. I went on a ride where after about two hours of mainly open tracks, the bike started to get 100 degrees centigrade (approx 212 F) which is a lot hotter than normal. It would also stay around the same during transport sections, where you would think the extra airflow would cool it down.

I have flushed the radiator and replaced coolant, changed radiator hoses, checked the water pump, check the plastic t piece and checked the radiators and all seems fine. The jetting seems ok and nothing else has happened with the bike and the weather in Australia at the moment is still reasonably cool. The bike has never boiled either.

Any thoughts what else I could look at?

With all that you have checked and found to be OK, I would be pulling the jets and cleaning them with a soft, copper wire, to scratch out any gunk but not enlarge the jet hole. Running lean would be the only thing I can think of, you never can tell when some gunk is gonna get into your tank.
