  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 developed a later leak at the top T where the sensor is. Can you run the bike without that sensor , I noticed a larger sensor at the bottom of the rt rad. Her the pix of the problem. The sensor housing part melted from the T.



I notice on the silicone hoses , there's does not seem to be a place for the top sensor?

 
I have the CV4 hoses on a TE310R but I expect the principals are the same.

As received there is no accommodation for a thermostat or water temp sensor. I wanted to retain the temp sensor to keep the radiator fan operational (with most of my riding being done in Texas I ditched the thermostat).

I simply and temporarily installed the hoses as received and then looked for the best place to re-install temp sensor. Once found I removed a section of hose equal to the temp sensor's physical width. Reconnected sensor to wiring harness and fan works as before though not as frequently.

I used the hose-swap as good opportunity to switch over to waterless coolant and replace the stock radiator cap with higher pressure CV4 cap.

Between the less restrictive hoses, waterless coolant, and the CV4 radiator cap my 310 runs significantly cooler. I couldn't hazard a guess as which change contributes the most but I'm very pleased with what this overall combo did for my bike.
