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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So we're do the crank case gasses go now if you blocked them off? The blue sticky stuff is just air filter oil then? Man that stuff is sure sticky cant believe air flows through it.

Sorry for leaving that out... I assumed you knew air filter oil was sticky :) there are many options for your breather routing so for me to say the best way to run it would be taboo :)
 
Sorry for asking such a noob question. I thank you all for the help non the less. I've used KandN filter dressing on my truck filter and it was never even close to that sticky. Is there an easy way to clean the filter or do you have to buy a new one?
 
I have been riding for 28 years and the best air filter cleaning setup for me is a couple gallons of mineral spirits in a quality bucket. Dip filter in it and it comes out clean. Couple gallons lasts years. Have a rinse bucket with soapy water. After rinsing with soapy water then rinse with fresh water. Towel dry your filter or air dry with fan. Re-oil, you should see filter oil squeeze out when you pinch with your fingers to check there is enough oil on the filter. Greese the filters dust seal and re-install. :thumbsup: I use this filter oil.http://www.cyclegear.com/CycleGear/...GPF-June2013&gclid=CJSSw4uP57cCFTByQgod-H4AoA


 
Thanks rearwheelin good advice in the manual it doesn't tell you to grease the seal of the filter but I think you know what your doing and ill play along. And I will buy the fft oil asap
 
I've always greased the filter seal as well, then I read that many people are spraying extra oil on the seal (of their 610's)...I've done that the last couple of times even though it doesn't give me the warm fuzzies that a greased seal does. That said, I haven't detected any dirt getting by...
