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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

POS Air Filter - Do Your Maintenance!

Here is a photo that shows what the problem may be.
It's just a plastic/plastic interference fit from the elbow to the airbox. Some good silicone applied from the back (outside) will probably go a long ways.
You can see the filter cage in the hole. The dust leaking in from the fitting goes straight to the intake. The filter is not covering the hole.

A pic of this part in my bike. As you can see a lot of dust is around the pipe (and the bike has not drop so far... ). So the dust can go directly inside the air box through this imperfect union and this could very well be the culprit of the dust on screen

Has anyone put silicone in this area as jonhgil suggests us or any other solution?

Hi again

Instead of applying silicone I've used a small piece of plastic bag the way you see in the pics. I hope it works and lasts :)

Now I cut the bag:
