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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Gas tank removal on tr650 strada

Me and my dumb ass done managed to puncture my gas tank. I can repair the damage but I must first remove the tank. My metal shield under the back fender came loose so I tried to force it back into place and the corner of the shield cut into the tank just slightly. I started to take it apart this evening and I didnt realize just how much work it involves. It appears that I will have to take the sub frame off to get the tank off and by doing that I will have to disconnect every electrical connection, pull the sub frame back and pull the tank out. Am I going about this right or is there an easier way? Pleeeeease help with some good advice!
 
Wow dude! You have been sooo helpful to me! I do have a workshop manual downloaded but it is different. Nothing about removing the gas tank. I compared the two and noticed that mine says 9/2012 rev00 and the link you sent me said 9/2012 rev01. Totally different! Thanks man! Im confident I can repair it now and I was on the right track but running blind. You have opened my eyes! Much thanks!
 
**UPDATE ON FUEL TANK REMOVAL**

The Workshop Manual is WRONG. The rear subframe MUST be removed to remove the fuel tank.

I tried it with the subframe attached and fought it for 3 hours. Removed the two subframe bolts and it came out in 30 seconds! :censored:

Y'all, thank you SO much for this documentation and the update, Matt C. Saving me a ton of trial and error installing the AF-XiED.
