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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2013 TXC 310 oil change

I've had them my entire life, never had a problem with them. Im probably getting another 250, i never get out of third gear here so a 450 would be overkill. Thanks for asking. Wish me luck on the sale.

From what I have read, the wear particles of greatest concern are between 2 and 25 microns in diameter. Wouldn't a 35 micron absolute filter let all of those critical wear particles pass through to harm bearing surfaces in the engine?

Now that I have run the bike a bit and changed the oil several times, I am going to switch to a stainless mesh filter. As hot as these engines run, I think the heat will kill them long before particulates in the oil will. My opinion is a lighter weight oil (0W-40 synthetic in my case) with a stainless mesh filter for maximum flow is the answer. The wear particles can be taken care of with frequent oil changes.
 
Tinken...I purchased the stainless filter recently for my '13 txc310R. I spoke with you on the phone and asked why the rubber seal doesn't fit tightly around the flow knob on the inside of the filter cover. At that time you told me to turn the rubber seal around....because it's wider then the paper filters and might cut off flow....or something like that??? I just got a chance to check things out today and I'm not sure what you mean. There is no way to turn the rubber seal around. All I can think of is you want me to replace the rubber seal from the stainless filter which is thicker. With the seal off a paper filter....is that correct??

Once again thanks for all your help....and all the great parts and upgrades for the Huskies!!!
