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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE310R cut hose

Just a heads up guys - I know there have been a few threads on hose wear thanks to the snug petrol tank fit, however, looking over my 2013 TE310R at the weekend, I noticed that the bottom hose from the right hand radiator is chafing on the radiator fan housing, making a nice neat cut.

Short term "remedy" is to cut another hose and put it over the original so that can wear instead of the proper one!
I'll have to get the tank off and see if I can move the fan a little higher - it only needs about 1/8" to clear.
The hose won't go down more because it's already on the protective plate on the exhaust.

Luckily, the cut is not down to the braiding yet, so the hose will survive.

Yes.... Mine floats that 1/8th in either on the edge of fan housing and edge of valve cover. Was loathe to zip tie it away from the valve cover and tight against the fan.
 
That's that issue sorted.
I wasn't able to move the fan assembly upwards as there isn't enough meat on the bracket to elongate the hole.
Out with the sharp knife, and shave some off the plastic fan housing so it is now about 1/8" away from the hose, so it shouldn't get close now.
