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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Better Coolant For My TE-449?

Figured I'd be wasting my time trying to help you, maybe the info will help other readers. To the OP, XF2 is well worth the investment, best coolant on the market at this point. Will never corrode or boil over to 387° :thumbsup:
 
No, not wasting your time.
As I said, I don't understand your concerns.
These bikes run a 1.8 bar radiator cap, even with plain water in them, they won't boil until 267deg.

Will plain water corrode - yes. Will it boil, yes, it stops cooling completely at this point and yes the system is under pressure. Will it freeze and damage your engine , yes.

Is it more efficient at removing & giving up heat than heavy viscous Glycol on its own - Yes, resoundingly so.

Does a product that has some of the properties of plain water with the benefits of corrosion protection and further overboil properties and antifreeze sound like a good idea.

To me yes.
Is it a compromise, yes it is.
Does it work if kept maintained, yes.
