• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 pipe close to header

No one seems to mention how close the oil feed pipe in top behind the cylinder
almost Or is touching the header.
This stuff bothers me more than a leaky airbox ... ;(
 
Hey Rapid. Which pipe is worrying you? The one with the little plug that runs from the fill cap down? It has a small inline drain plug that uses a hex, on the left (non throttle side) of the bike? Is that the one? I've not had any issues with it, but one could easily relocate it if that's the one in question.

If no-one has mentioned it after 4+ years in the wild and probably several million km in total by owners on forums, and various other issues have been identified and worked around, then the oil pipe is probably not worth worrying about.
 
It's the black one on the top of the crankcase behind the cylinder, with a hex cap/nut, right where the exhaust bends inboard and then outboard.
The header looks like it's actually touching the oil line.
Just seems like some thoughtless engineering, but hey, i'm nitpicky...
 
this one? The steel pipes shouldn't touch the engine as they are fixed in place with brackets but the rubber hoses do touch the engine. Never saw an issue with this though.

I dismantled that pipe when I did my engine rebuild. There were no indications of damage to either of those hoses.
