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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Best Way To Drain Coolant From Case?

Had a gasket fail during a new top-end job on my wr250, and ended up with coolant inside the case.
What's the best way to draining the coolant?

Please don't say I need to pull the jug...

Game plan for tomorrow.

Pull the spark plug.
Flip the bike over, and in 5th gear...rotate the rear wheel to pump out the coolant.
Flip back and add av gas through intake to try and dilute any remaining coolant in the case.
Crank a few times, to mix av gas throughout the case.
Flip the bike over again to drain for the last time (sounds messy).
Flip back to normal and install spark plug.
 
Probably late on this one, but I'd put some two stroke oil in the gas you're flushing with. And then I put some two stroke oil in the crankcase through the exhaust port under the piston skirt.
 
Flushed the case twice through the intake manifold with oil/gas mix.
Flipped the bike and drained it through the spark-plug hole each time.

Looks like coolant is holding this time :)
