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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Going testing this Sunday and couldn't stop myself from sharing . Hope its "Bling Bling" enough and works great ! I will run 1350 cc oil . Any thing I should do while out there on the trail to make it cough up oil ? Like maybe ride a wheelie for a mile , lug it a-lot, rev it up going down steep hills , go up steep hills, desert whoops ...... I will try to do it all :D

I have observed that my TE449 pumps oil out of the breather at idle when the front of the bike is about 6 inches lower than the back. Also in this condition when starting the starter will sometimes stall like maybe there is too much oil in the crankcase.
 
tipping over always helps. I do that and my poor bike is pissing oil through the air filter and then out onto the swingarm!
 
Looks good. What happens when you lay the bike down on the left side, will oil puke out the filter? You still fill it at the regular filler hole? If so how hard is that to do? Does the pour out all over when disconnecting that hose at the filler plug? Isn't there a bunch of oil trapped where the oil runs under the engine?

Man that muffler looks short on there. Nice.

Thank you very much ! I will lay the bike over on the left and right side when I test and find out. I have the breather filter pointing down to reduce water entry into the oil system when washing, or just cover the breather.

Sustained high rpm run for a couple miles or more.....

I'm going to dump the 1100cc that's in it and plan on filling it threw the return line by loosening the hose clamp on the bottom of the box and fill it threw the hose using a funnel and checking the rate of oil return in the meantime . When I start the oil changing process the first thing I will do is use compressed air to blow threw the return line and clear oil, then pull drain plug... Just a visual inspection of the filler cap from time to time is all that's needed..... The muffler is noisey .
 
"Any thing I should do while out there on the trail to make it cough up oil ?"

Get on a dry lake and "peg it" for as long as you can stand it. You know...like normal.

Hard to imagine that there is enough welding on that little can to make much difference in the overall price.

Yeah , I was shocked but am feeling good after the news today. The can has 3 different grades of aluminum and thicknesses so it's tricky and there is no jig (yet) so it's done free handed. It's very light and strong.
 
Even with my breather, I ran a 3 hour endurance race and the high revs made it puke out a little bit I had about 1300cc or so in mine. With a little less oil it is great now. So I would say higher revs for an extended period. But up to you if you want to do that to your bike or not..
 
I really would like to keep this thread on topic so at some point if I become unresponsive to some of your posts please feel free to PM me .
Thank you

Not a hint of breather mist so far :banana:

I dont care for the breather filter and will leave the line open ended pointing at the chain after testing. I just want the filter on now so I can detect oil blow-by :cheers:
 
I did figure out that I have a bad radiator cap today and my system has been running with no pressure for the last couple rides wich gave me the idea to build a nice boil-over reservoir and put it here :thumbsup:
