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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

08 te510 800 miles long gnarly downhill ,rear brake faded away completely , came back down in the flats what causes this? heat,bad fluid?
 
Combination of heat and fluid contamination most likely....Low miles mean nothing, time and moisture is hard on brake fluid. Bike's 3 years old, have you changed the brake fluid ever?
 
since it faded to zero: replace the burnt fluid, flush that sucker good, use exact fluid if possible- if wishing diff fluid/next DOT up, you must tear down everything and rinse in separate container/baths . check pads for glazing. surface same if nec. use more front and engine braking.
 
Bleed your brakes more often than less often do all that the above inmates said and use this stuff

Motul660!! it rocks even for brake draggers.
also always use the highest quality racing sintered pads from any of your choice of brands,like Braking CM46s, EBC SBS, Brembo, DP, racing pads etc etc
I stuck standard use pads (cheaper) in only one time and they were a complete fail, under ugly conditions
not completly necessary for most but I also added a reservior extender on my rear.
