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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Cooling might be an issue

Ive been reading quite a few posts on here about SMR's running hot. I live in Vegas, and I just picked up an '05 SMR. I was thinking of buying a fan from another bike and wiring it to a switch to keep the temps down. Has anyone done this? If so, what worked for you? Also as thinking about installing a temp sender unit to a gauge possibly. This will not be my everyday commuter, but I do plan on putting ~100mi/week on it.

Thanks
 
I have a 07 TE510 that use to overheat once and a while in the tight woods but a fan fixed that issue. I turn it on before I get it hot. Works for me.

I cant imagine to many overheating issues on the road unless sitting in traffic. If your in traffic the best thing is a fan to keep airflow.
 
Well, when the ambient temp is 110-120*, I dont think it would take much heavy traffic to overheat. Anybody got a fan laying around? Just trying to be safe then sorry.
