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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Dirty water in the out pipe

What should I expect to have when dirty muddy water goes in the exhaust when my 2008 TE250 is not running? Drop the bike in a puddle for about 5-10 seconds, ran good after all was dry. Should I have top end concerns? Don't see any milky oil thru the eye glass.
 
I understand the bike was not running when she fell into water. If that is the case it should be ok. I would as a matter of course change the oil and oil filter, give her a good run and inspect.
 
She went in running and was shut off. Oil and filter will be changed as well as the air filter.

I shut down so I would not suck water in the airbox, now water went into the exhaust. Would it have been better to keep her running as I uprighted the bike??

No!...do not keep it running under water!

You did good grasshopper!

If there is no milkshake in the oil and the bike started right up, you're good.

Change the oil anyway and take a look at the airfilter to see if it was soaked.
 
One little puddle = broken mirror, broken headlight bulb, burnt finger (blowing out connectors), reduce riding time and my 73yr father yelling at me to move so he can get thru!
