  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Petrol/gas leak from tap

Hi All,

Was out racing yesterday and while loading up the bike I noticed the smell of petrol (gas if you're the other side of the pond :) ) wasn't going away. I traced it dripping from the fuel tap (can't think of it's proper name) and just wondered if anyone else has had this. I didn't crash or drop the bike at any point so no idea why it has started now (Correct, I wasn't trying hard enough if I didn't crash!). Here is a pic of me cresting a nice steep hill.. wasn't sure what was the other side so took it easy!

cap gasket is probably the culprit, mine leaks and I need to get one too, albeit a different model
 
If its like the type in this pic its most likely to be full of mud/grime.
I had one that leaked pretty bad and when taking it apart I was surprised at how much muck had worked its way in there, cleaned it all out and its been good ever since.
Remove the two little screws that hold the small plate and pull the tap out, Do not do this with the tank full of fuel lol

had to buy a couple of those in the past as they were not responsive to a good cleaning
still have them, just did not like to be cleaned and resealed for whatever reason
 
Thanks guys that is great. Once I've cleaned her up from Sunday's race I'll take the peacock off and inspect.. good tip about making sure the tank is empty first :thumbsup:
