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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2008 TE 250 Oil Seep

Hi All,

While changing oil today I noticed some oil seeping through the front of the case:

There is some on the skid plate:

But I've never seen any oil on the garage floor.

What do you think? Very concerning? Somewhat concerning? Just ride it?

Thanks,

Alex
 
That's the notorious vent line from the valve cover to the air box. If the bike lays on it's right side, oil comes out of the vent, and drains into the airbox. Genius design! I keep a rag in the bottom of the airbox to soak that oil up. Nothing to worry about.

That sounds plausible... but I was thinking it looked kinda thin. Does the coolant overflow line run down near there?

caveat: I have one of the newer engines with the (in)famous stator cover leak. To the OP: Mine looks twice as bad and I don't see a huge difference in oil level between changes- so, no worries.
