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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Oil leak from magneto housing cover plug

Discovered an oil leak from this plug which looks to have a hairline crack in it. Trying to identify the correct part to purchase. I've checked a parts interchange list for the TR650 and BMW G650GS and the TR650 part is listed as the anthracite one. Online catalogue for BMW G650GS the plug shows two options (item #4 in diagram below).Capture.JPG

one is described as anthracite, the other apparently not. I'll also order the o-ring (part #5).

Local BMW dealer (Perth, Western Australia) does not have the anthracite one (11 14 7 228 356) come up one their system but does have the other one available for order.

Anyone know if it matters whether the plug is anthracite or not ?
 
dark charcoal or anthracite?
