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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

SS filter after an oil change

This is the SS filter out of my 2010 TC250 with ~350 hrs and right after I changed out the rings ... I can't believe how clean it is straight out of the bike. My 08 TXC engine always had lots of metal shavings in it ... And that bike went well over 1000 hrs before any issues.

This is straight out of the engine and only the oil has dripped off it ...

This is after I cleaned it with WD40 ...

Looks good, there's probably lots of really fine metal particles attached to it. I wish these would come oem on motorcycles, but then filter companies would go out of business..
 
Most of us were raised on the paper filters and know nothing else ... After seeing how many PRO racers were using them in their cars, bikes, planes ... I felt ok about swapping over ...

Since my bikes do not have a magnetic plug, the moment of truth on an oil change is looking at that filter for metal large enough to see with my eyes ...
 
husky really cheaps out on the little stuff as time goes by. husky used to always have magnetic plugs. all my swedes do and my 95 even has one stock?!? when did they quit? :oldman:
 
its possible they kept them on the two strokes, but ray is saying his bikes dont have them, unless he is speaking about his 4 strokes only.
sorry, just put a ss braided front brake line on my 95..had to use one off of my 80s stash as they had them stock! i wondered why my 95 always felt a bit mushy....after i took the outer housing off a bit from the line i saw it was plastic!! i felt a bit let down, lol..
