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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Brake Reservoir Mod...

On my 610, a little tab is ground off (by prev. owner) so that the brake line can come up at a higher angle from the reservoir -- looping more upwards from the bars before it goes down under the bar clamps. You can see the tab missing on the pic below of the 610, and still there on the 630. With that tab gone, the connector can rotate more upwards. This would also allow the levers to be rotated more downwards.

Any reason not to knock that tab off? Seems to work on the 610...

Just had a look at my 09 Te610, and notice that I still have the tab (no surprises as I bought it new ) BUT the banjo fitting is curved upward, around the tab unlike the pic in the previous post where the fitting is bent down, which would make it akward. Dunno if it would be possible to rotate the pipe 180 degs rather than cut the tab off. Maybe some of those banjo fittings were crimped on wrong in the factory?:excuseme:
 
If you loop the brake line up and create a "high point" it is possible that you can have airbubbles collecting there, I do not know if these systems are self bleeding and require that the reservoir is the highest point in the system to accomodate for letting airbubbles to escape through the reservoir.
