  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 vs. TE511

Yeah there the same. Swing by motosportz.com to get the cool protect your bike stuff and tires if you need them. And if you are doing slow speed stuff try the coolant that zip Ty racing sells. I had a few boil overs on a TC 449.

Even thought the Evans coolant will not boil over until a much higher temp than water based coolants, your engine is still overheating.
 
I think the idea is that when the coolant is boiling it looses much of its ability to transfer heat and makes maters worse.

Makes sense. Thanks. One more thing I've got to buy before my bike is ready to carry my old, fat, slow @$$ around the woods.

The local auto parts store has high quality coolant with a high boiling point and low freeze point and made for alum engines.
 
My 511 always ran hot and no matter which coolant I used I would always over boil, even with engine ice. I finally gave XF coolant a try and I never had a problem since. The bonus is that I never have to worry about corrosion, no etching, rusting, nothing. It's a lifetime coolant that never needs to be changed out.

Are there any trade offs to that? Is it good for any dirtbike?
 
The only trade off I know of is up front price. XF is 26.95/half gallon which fills most dirt bikes twice by volume. But because you never have to flush it and it doesn't corrode your radiators/cylinder, the price is justified over a long term period. If the radiators must be drained, coolant can be collected and restored to the radiators.
