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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE250 air filter cover doesn't do anything?

Gasp yet again, opening up the grimy air filter after a ride on a track with only a couple puddles... The airbox walls have small dried up dirt spots, possibly water that has been sucked through the air filter and 'carburated' into the airbox. I had the same thing last time after a slightly wet ride, too. The filter's inside looked clean, and the airbox doesn't have any particles big enough that they eye could see (the dirt was very small grit, basically dried clay). The air filter cover thingy was also completely muddy, implicating that it doesn't really do it's job well.

What's wrong? The filter is quite thick twin-air filter with coarse outside and almost fabric-like inside foam, i always oil it with bel ray oil, working it in small amounts well into the filter, and atleast smaller drops of water clearly get repelled by it, i also always oil the skirt real good. So might the problem be that the cover box gets filled with muddy water and the filter is powerless to stop it, this is supported by the filter being mostly grimy on the bottom part. The filter fastener seems to squeeze it in real good. Did i use too little oil?

I don't think the engine is yet ruined, still pulls like a mule and will not allow you to turn the throttle all the way, i am frightened that it will do something to the cylinder tho, it has been changed once because it had one small scratch that let oil past with pretty fast rate, perhaps it was caused by the very same problem.

Any ideas how to make this thing more water-proof?
