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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Air Filter w/Screen leakage? TE310

Looking to get some input from both sides here, those who use, and those who don't use the back-fire screen with thier air-filters. It would seem I'm having a hard time getting a "perfect" seal using the screen, as this is the 2nd time I've found small traces of dust inside the air boot when using it. I oil my filters properly (same way I have for 20 years), grease the seal on the filter, and run a thin bead between the air boot and screen. I fit it, run my hand around to insure what appears to be a tight fit, yet still getting a small leak somewhere. Filters are new twin-air, Oil is No-Toil. Used it since it came out 10+ years ago and never had any issues. Going to go back to running without the screen and take my chances, but wondered if anyone else has had similar results, or it's just user error somewhere along the line. :confused:
 
I always removed that thing for that reason. Never had an issue but filter fires can happen.

My 2010 EFI 250 does not have the screen. Maybe EFI never backfires / no bowl for gas to slosh out of?
 
if you guys are taking the screen out im going to do the same. after i took it out to clean it once, it never stayed flat again
 
Took mine out 2 years ago. Not so much for the sealing (not great anyway) but for aspiration.
 
I took mine out 2 years ago too and alternated between 2 Twin air filters with no backfire problems. I now have a K&N filter and have no problem with it either. 2008 TE310
 
I also felt I got a better seal w/o the screen. Ive gotten "stuff" in the air boot with or without, but far less without the screen.
 
My bike came from the dealer fully de-restricted and powered up, also that screen was never installed and i've never had a problem.
