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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Never mind the broken fender, what about my broken expansion bottle

lol, its been a grueling couple of months with coolant leaking out, so much to say that the level dropped so much i had to top it up!
First it seemed to stop as if it was finding its level, to bloody hell, all over the engine!
Just as well its time for the first sevice, and to get a rlacement botttle.
love the bike even though its been a trying time.

How did you crack it?

Its been leaking for a while and It was assumed that it was the level that was sorting itself out but after a time the outlet pipe just leaked more and now its empty and a workshop floor stained with antifreeze.
It would appear that the clamp may have been too tight in the first place and had originally cracked it along the seam.
 
There's not much to see really, only an empty bottle and a clamp around the troubled area.
I have watched the coolant leak out when it was stood in the garage.
 
Its not around the filler cap that's the problem, its where the small hose is fitted leading from the radiator. the Plastic outlet is cracked! Anyway its at the bike shop after a grueling drive in the van to the bike shop. Traffic here is getting so bad you can hardly see the tarmac!
