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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

G'day All,
Just got back from an awesome ride at Canunda National Park, and when giving the bike a wash I have noticed a small hole on the left side of the head.
I wasn't sure if the small hole should have a rivet in it like the two above it.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Glenn
 
most machines have a drain/vent hole for the spark plug receptacle this is probably what it is. To really verify pull the plug cap and pour a little water into the spark plug receptacle(I said to pull the cap because those are usually sealed well with a grommet), it should drain out (somewhere). This one looks to be in an odd location, however. So wait for the new motor experts to chime in (Motosportz for example) and just use my note as an idea of what it is.
 
My 449 has the exact same hole and it is, as robertaccio mentions, a drain hole for the plug cavity.
