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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

268fords, I think it probably would puke oil if laid down on its' right side. I don't think a left 90 degree lean would fill the valve head area enough to puke out of the vent..... upside down yes. For normal operation, the crankcase vent soaks up the oil vapors and over night I wrap Kleenex around the filter with rubberband and it soaks up some of the oil from the filter. After 200 miles there is NOT enough oil to drip from the filter element.

Reveille..... oh man, you are right, I think I just imagined some weird noise from underneath the starter cover.:)
 
You can run it (the crankcase breather with filter) back into the airbox as an option to keep it hidden. My 2006 TE450 was in this configuration for 2 years of trail riding and racing. I have a photo but this computer will not let me post it.

I just didn't want hot oil vapor air into my carb any longer. Would like to see a photo of the configuration you mentioned
