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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Radiator problems 07 TE450

coffee,
i have a pdf of the parts fische, the part numbers for the radiators are below.

LHS (TOYO) 8000 99659
LHS (KTM) 8000 A7989
LHS (ALEXON) 8000 A7993

RHS (TOYO) 8000 99658 (COMPLETE) guessing it's with a cap.

The Husky numbers match from the 2006 & 2007 parts lists so those did not change.

It also lists the same Husky part numbers for 2008 & 2009 but only lists these 2 for 2008 and 2009... for being compatible.
8000 B1406 (KTM) left hand side
8000 B1407 (KTM) right hand side



Putting all that information together here are the part numbers for radiators for 2006 -2009 250/310/450/510 bikes:
LHS (TOYO) 8000 99659
LHS (KTM) 8000 A7989
LHS (KTM) 8000 B1406
LHS (ALEXON) 8000 A7993

RHS (TOYO) 8000 99658 (COMPLETE) guessing it's with a cap.
RHS (KTM) 8000 A7990
RHS (KTM) 8000 B1407
RHS (ALEXON) 8000 A7992


Anyone want to take a peek at the manuals and confirm?
 
I read in an old magazine that black pepper somehow stops leaks in radiators. Always kept some in my fannypack so one day I pulled some for my scooters drip :censored: So I know that pepper does work.:thumbsup:
 
radiator

a help on the rad would be to enlarge the bottom tank, or replace it completely. larger ones are available. or have a fab shop make a set up. we are lucky the bike mfgs haven't gone the automotive route with low grade die cast rads or plastic radiators, that aren't repairable...
 
Apparently those number also apply to the 2005 TE.
I manage to slam into some rocks last week and smash my left side guard protected radiator......just looking up the part number and found it to be the same as listed above.
 
Mine just started leaking yesterday in the same place.:banghead: It looks like the repeated bending and straightening has caused the fins to pull loose from the tube and cause it to leak. Dirtdame where did you say you got those radiators at for $97?

Thanks
Dave

I bought my left hand radiator at Motoforza here in Escondido a while back (I think I ordered it in February).
 
I ordered a new rad and it was the Toyo for $125. The old one had a crack in the tube about 1" long. I'm going to try and fix the old one for a spare. Wish me luck:busted:

My dealer also noted that the Toyo comes with a higher pressure cap and that it is not compatable with the Alexon. The added pressure will cause the left side to fail. But putting the Toyo on the left side is ok.
 
I forgot about this thread...

You fine people may want to check with your Husqvarna dealers, the price on radiators may have changed for the better.
 
I should have said that was the price with shipping to my house. I didnt ask what the price was before. It was cheaper than I had expected however. It was in stock and I should have it by friday.:thumbsup::ride:

You got this from a Husqvarna dealer? If so they have definitely come down in price.
 
Got it from Bottones Jo-Bet cycles. I was going to call Motoforza but it was close enough in price I didnt bother. I will post my results on fixing the old one.
 
Sweet!

If someone else posts that they are getting reasonable prices from a dealer there is no need to keep this thread stuck - the big $ for the radiators will be no more.
 
Ordered my left side radiator last month from our local dealer. Retail price was $136, my price was $123.

OEM Husky radiator was about half what I heard guys were paying around here for OEM Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and KTM radiators

Seems they are much less expensive now... unsticking thread.
 
I know this is an old thread but just wanted to update. Had my right side suffer a crack right up the center of the inner most tube. Sent it to Mylers in Utah, cost $35 plus my shipping and worked great for over a year. Last week it began dripping again. I noticed a hairline crack start at the bottom of the weld Mylers did and it looked to be slowly opening up further. I have a friend that repairs AC and he used an epoxy in the tube to seal it completely because he believes it'll (the crack) keep spliting..I will lose that tube but it should work ok..

Emailed Dan at Motoxotica and he has the replacement in stock for $140..so that is my next move if this fails.
 
Good to know the pricing is not as astronomical as it once was, now if they could cut the price on a few other items we would be all set.
 
Yup, Thats good news for sure. I won't rehash the gouging I took, .... in stock and shipped quick though.:lol:

It's been a while but I did temporarily fix the leaking radiator. It lasted until the inside support broke. I had to remove one row of fins because the brazing rod I used would shrink so much that when you filled the crack it would just pull out of the aluminum and cause another crack.
Mainly I wanted to post this for people looking for a was to make aluminum repairs if they have access to a oxy-acetylene torch. Here is a pic of the rad after it was brazed. The repair held and never leaked, I just had to replace it because the side fell off.

The brazing rod I used was HTS-2000 that I bought from ebay (if you buy from ebay you dont have to worry about the expensive limited quantity amount from the manufacturer). I think that there is another rod called durafix and Tractor supply had something similar and says to do the same thing. Here is the HTS-2000 sitehttp://www.aluminumrepair.com/aluminum_repair.asp
