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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE449/511 oil fix....

Well have found a good use for the oil spewing out all over my motor. Pipe it down to the chain....perfect auto lube...
Just grab a piece of clear plastic tube. Fix to the air box vent, then run it down the frame tubes left side of engine. Caution on the header pipe.. pass tube underneath the plastic chain guard and fix it with zip ties... Done.... Stage two fix will be to take vent tube and 're route it to do the same thing... No more oil into the air box****************************************!

That's the first thing I tried. Oil will still leak out of the air box onto the engine. I installed the Zipty breather and "T"eed it into the existing vent line. It works great. I run 1150 ml of oil. I don't think you need that goofy looking tank. I now have 8,000 miles on my TE449, no oil issues.
 
I've run a pipe all the way around with 800mm of 13mm pipe and a small filter and fit 1000ml of oil with no issues but are going to try ZIP - TY FULL OIL KIT ON ORDER NOW.
 
Yes I agree to fixing it properly, I just got shitty about all that oil over my nice clean engine DOH... It'll still get oil on the air filter but I'm guessing that is better than no fix at all. I am saving for the proper fix..

huskydude59 contact at Danny@Ziptyracing.com postage just cost me $40.00 plus the item I think it cost all up $368.00 thats for the full Husqvarna full oil kit. Just waiting for it to come it.In your subject put in HUSQVARNA FULL OIL KIT. you may have to send a few emails.
 
I've been very conscious of my oil level as i fill it, no more than 1150ml each time & haven't had much oil on the filter since overfilling it when new........

Until yesterday!

Went out by myself to find tracks for a ride, ended up at the bottom of a greasy clay hill which ended at a 10ft creek bank!
I have been lazy & not changed my worn rear tyre yet & spent the next half hour pushing the bike with it clicked into second & revving it's tits off!
I was spent by the time I crested the hill again & just sat in the dirt for 15 mins. The bike sat there dripping oil happily while i watched :)

It would seem all the oil heads to the rear of the motor on steep hill climbs, big revs must push it up the breather hose I guess.
I never use that many revs on hills if I'm still riding it, so maybe that's why don't normally get the overflow.
