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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc WR250/300 stator breather vent mod

K5PL5

Husqvarna
Pro Class
I was cleaning up the garage and found and extra elbow fitting like the one I used for my stator cover breather mod on my 2012 WR 300. If anyone is interested in the mod, let me know. I'll throw this thing in the mail for ya. Free!
If youre not sure what the mod is Im sure I search will bring it up but I will post a pic today.
 
Take off the stator cover, seal the hole(notch) at the bottom of the cover and drill a hole and install an elbow on top of the cover and run a hose up under the tank or into the airbox. Some epoxy an elbow. I bought a small brass elbow that was barbed on one end and threaded on the other end and tapped the hole I drilled in top of the cover.
 
Interesting, I simply sealed the bottom hole with silicone and that's it, Do we need the breather tube ? For what ?

Thanks.
 
Interesting... wasn't thinking about condensation but make sense specially with lower temps... Another problem could be the Cable guide from the alternator letting humidity in ... I will have a look to put some breather hose in there...

Do you have any pics from that hose barbs ?

Regards.

Scott Summers used to thread a small teflon tube in with the wiring. Seems the Honda 650s weeped a little oil when the cover was totally sealed. Creek crossings cooled the air inside and created a vacuum causing a mess. Ever look at your plastic gas jug on a cold morning? I've seen half full jugs almost creased in half from the contraction.

I just went to a hydraulic supply house and got a 1/8" npt x 1/8" barbed elbow. Your local hardware store should have one. I'd take a pic but my bike is buried in the shed and I only have the use of one arm right now.
