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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have that stain also- from day one that it was new. I now have about 1K on the bike and it has not gotten any worse, but will certainly be keeping an eye on it.

You have an oil stain in the exact same place that I do on the braided oil line. It is an internal failure of the rubber and it slowly bleeds into the braid. I got the dealer to order me a new line under warranty.

I never thought of it being a failure. I thought it was from the coating getting too hot or something. Mine has it as well.
 
My bike has the oil line stain too. Three other Husky's I ride with don't have any discoloration on theirs. Oh well, I also got my dealer to order a new line under warranty.
 
Is there any harm in just leaving it be? The discoloration doesn't bother me. But, if there's some kind of mechanical flaw that affects performance or longevity, I want to replace it.
 
I just went outside and took a pic of mine. I guess it's not as bad as I thought, but there is some discoloration there:

Moose Contour barkbusters. I stole the white/black plastic handguards off my KTM. I wish Moose had these in white/red, that would look even better.

Installed Lock-On grips at the same time. I started a separate thread about those. Also in photo, Pro Grip lever rubber slip-ons I had laying around. I actually like them, worth the $5

Mine has the same in a few spots... it is from the vacuum canister fuel vapor line touching it. the rubber/color bleeds off really easy i drove mine a couple hundred miles with it in factory place. and i changed the position of the hose on the line after i got rid of the canister and right again where i put the line it made the same spot on the clear outer protective shield on the oil line. im sure u did not ride much with the canister in factory location cause your stain is pretty light. i see yours is now zip tied to the right there.

hope that helps guys, i think it nothing to worry about unless u don't like the looks of it.

I wonder if it is possible to slice out the discolored part carefully with a razor blade?? I saying just take off the surface layer, not going nuts. Once I get the new line from my dealer I'll try it.

Yep. I took my canister off before I even rode it once, I think.
 
My bike was never even fired up with that canister/hose system in place. It started out very small and has tripled in size over the last couple hundred miles. It isn't from rubbing on something in my case.
