  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 - oil from the power valve cover

Hi All,

Brand new here. I've got a 2008 WR250 with 19 hours on it (honestly, it's factory fresh) but when I gave it a short run (tarmac just to warm it up) I notice a small drop oil seeping from bottom right of the power valve cover. I wondered if the gasket has perished with age or lack of use, or is this nothing to worry about?.

Many thanks

Myles
 
I'd pop it off and give the power valve assembly a quick clean. Then seal it up with an rtv sealant. Or a new gasket gasket if u wish.
 
Thanks for the info guys.. It' good to know it's not damaging anything. I’ve read about air leaks but I guess that’s anything before the air and fuel has gone into the cylinder, rather than waste out the other side.
 
Being new to 2-strokes I was pretty freaked out by spooge. I use Goo Gone citrus cleaner. It takes spooge off with a paper towel really easily. Soap and water just smears it around. I'm careful not to get it on the o-ring chain or near the brake rotors because its pretty strong stuff.
 
PB blaster takes 2 stroke spooge off amazingly well too.
