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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Grey/Beige gearbox oil

Hello my friends! I was changing gearbox oil on my WR 300 today and the oil was light grey/beige. I can´t see anything wrong. The coolant water looks fine and the water level is just under the cooling cells in the radiator. I filled up and almost nothing got in. Engine runs fine and clutch and everything is working perfect. Do you think it just could be condensation, or could it be cooling water that is coming in? Can coolingwater come in to the gearbox? I haven´t checked in the engine manual how it´s constructed yet.

Not sure if that model has a crank case breather .. but if it does it could have taken in water tru it and into the trans case(water crossings and such.. but like Norm posted the Norm(pun intended) is thru the impeller seal.

Worst case drop the trans juice fill her up with some new fluid and see what happens after a ride..

Ok, thanks! I changed the oil and took a short ride down the street, and the oil looks perfect, but we will see after a real woods ride. And yes, there is a crankcase breather hose.

If there is water in the oil it will look like a milkshake or a frothy mud.

My spectro gear lube comes out grey with aluminum particles from the clutch.
