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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Coolant leak

This was a delema when I first rode my Strada found that there was coolant dripping on the fan housing mount.
Dealer responded with the fact that it was probably levels sorting it self out, was good to hear that they were concerned and I conitnued riding trying to come to terms that it was just that. But still it dribbled out after every ride.
one morning I decided to check the level and was suprised to find the plastic front cover was in the middle of the exspansion bottle cap and it was tightening onto that and not the bottle which allowed the coolant to drip out. Now sorted and must make sure the bottle is free from the panel and can be able to flex about on the rubber mount
 
Thanks! For the info....by fall most of us here will have this bike sorted out and many miles on them also.

Also another point is that there is or was none in my case any seal between the cap and the bottle, today I had to ride on an unsurfaced road and was jumping all over the place, so much so that the coolant was all over the place again. Cap off and replaced with an 'o' ring. Today after a lot off mopping up, and replacement of distilled water found the leak is no more or so far!
