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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Give them a call. When I went onto their site to purchase a couple for my WR125 they didnt have it listed but I knew they made them. They had not realized it was never posted up for sale. Not saying they definitely make them but its worth a shot. The filters are high quality and very reasonably priced compared to the competition.
air filter service! it's called "doin' the nasty" in the dirt bike world!
dont hate me boys (too late i know) but....twin-air fan here!
clean up: swab out the air box and chassis rails first, then, i clean in gas, water, soap-n-water, done.
oiling: i have a lil tupperwear bowl with my air filter goodies in it. put about two inches of oil in the bowl, dunk-n-roll, GENTLY pursuade the oil all round over a small funnel letting the excess drain back in the can. set the filter aside, let the carrier evaporate a couple hours while i do other stuff then gently pat with a towel inside and out to get off excess if any. grease the rim in the air box a smidge then install.
regardless of what you use- be gentle.
leaning an air filter can/will degrade it. twisting and wringing it will kill it NOW. gently fold or knead the filter to get the oil to and fro. same with cleaning, be gentle and support it if its water-logged, dont whip it by the rim to get water off. watch it with extreme water temps hi or low as itll kill the glue. before oiling after cleaning inspect the glued seams for splits. esp a factor for 4-strokes. they need pure clean air to live. i dont recomend washing them in a machine for obvious reasons. treat them like a very fine garment, do it by hand. i replace mine after 5-6 cleanings at the very most. if i go dune hopping in poof-sand i toss it when i get home. cheap insurance. check your filter frame for flashing and burrs and round off as required.
look in the boot for debris. some stuff falls in when you yank the filter. check the box to boot seals too!
on a 4-stroke ALWAYS use a flame arrestor! dont try and convice me otherwise!
never plug the drain hole in your air box to keep spooge from dripping out. let it drip, if it pools it's a fire hazard.
