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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Which Coolant for my WR 300 that I just blew up

I am ordering the new intake boot. Thanks for the link. I looked closer last night and I definitely have a crack there.

I am really hoping that was/is my issue.
I am also going to get two new gaskets for either side of the reed cage. Are those something I could cut from gasket material or do I need to order the premade ones?

They are pretty cheap, but I made one myself a couple weeks ago. I thought I had 2 but could only find one and needed to get my bike back together. It was quite simple to make.

I just ordered mine along with the piston and rings I needed from Halls. Part number is 800089954 and they were 2.50 each. Youll probably spend more to have them shipped out. that was for an 09 wr300. Not sure what you have.

Re-building the top end of my 09 wr300 due to overheat issue. Not sure if i was running too lean or if it got too hot but either way it is a mess. Wondering which coolant you would recommend I use. Thanks

I would not recommend using Engineice for coolant. The reason is that polypropylene glycol in it's pure form is very thick, nearly as thick as 140 weight gear lube. What Engineice uses to thin their glycol mixture is water that eventually boils off and you are left with a coolant that places extra stress on your coolant system.

My XF coolant will never thicken and lasts the life of the coolant system. It will never boil over and runs at so low of pressure, that we use zipty's to hold our radiator hoses on. Put it in once, never change it again, never worry about corrosion or boiling over out in the middle of no where.
