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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Zip Ty Vent Review

AA Class
Ok, I had a Zip Ty vent sent to me for my 2013 TC449. just the kit without the recovery unit.
I installed it as per the instructions and it fit well and was easy to install. I then created a rerouting of the vent hose to more closely match the Honda CRF450R routing after plugging the OEM vent with the supplied rubber plug. The Honda routing places a "T" in the vent line and uses a clear dropped line that is plugged to catch any blown by oil. After doing so I changed the engine oil and added exactly 1250cc of Shell Rotella T6 5w40 oil. I also cleaned the air filter.
I then rode the bike on and MX track this past weekend and put a total of 5 hours on it via the hour meter. After which I washed the bike and then examined the air filter. It was spotless with absolutely no oil blown on to it. The oiling of the air filter was the norm when the OEM vent was used and was very frustrating. I then checked the clear catch tube in the vent system and found no oil in it either. So in short the system worked great!
Thank you ZIP TY racing!

Glad it worked for you. I bought the vent early on, but once Tinken and started takling about his recovery system, I just had to have the whole thing. Fashion and function was the thing that sold me! However the breather is truly the big score for long life and more oil capacity.
