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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

05 TE450 radiator overflow

Hi,
this has probably been covered before, but, on a recent ride on a 35 degree day - lots of 1st / 2nd gear single track and rutted hills, my bike started spitting coolant over my boots (nice!) from the plastic overflow bottle benath the airbox....so, radiator is now up for new coolant - does the overflow bottle need coolant in it also, ir is it just for surplus coolant when things heat up?
Cheers
Steve...:thumbsup:
 
Yes you definitely need coolant in the overflow bottle, if you don't have any when the hot fluid from the radiators began overflowing it will melt holes in the coolant bottle. Don't fill it all the way to the top, about half way should be right.
BTW welcome to Cafe Husky.:cheers:
 
thanks for the help! much appreciated...Sound like it was a bit on the low side anyway (have not long had the bike).
