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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE510 2010 PROBELM WITH COOLING FAN

Hi there Cafe husky friends !!!

I have an ongoing issue with my cooling fan on this bike. I have had to replace 2 cooling fans as the 6 x small plastic holding mechanisms tend to break.. Once one has broken then it weakens the whole mount and then they all fail.
I have already replaced 2 complete fans at a cost of around $ 100 each ( plus cost of delivery to Australia of about $ 80 )
I have had the bike since new and the bike always seems to have idled quite rough.. bike has plenty of power but due to shudder also creates probelms with nuts loosening and I also believe creates this probelm, with the fan.
I have investigated the next model 2011 + fan modules but it looks like they are are different size
( and radiator shrouds etc) The mounting bracket for this fan is also quite tight.
I did try to re-enforce these small arms which hold the fan in place to no avail...
Has anyone got a recommendation ????
I am currently riding without the fan on this bike and do ride open trail as well as some tight single trail.. obviously it is important to get the cooling fan back on the bike ASAP... just want to know fif there is something better to do so I dont have to continue to replace..

Any help appreciated..

If you weren't half way around the world from me, I'd buy one of those busted fans off you. But to you questions. I would reinforce it with my own braces, but if you don't have the option to fabricate, then buying something different is your only option.
 
I do not think you need the fans to be honest. use a top quality coolant. I have had 510's and 450's riding steep st with 250 lump of rider on the back with no issues.
