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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi guys,

I have been running my 2005 TE 250 (now 310) for five years now and never had any problem. I changed bigend and rod togethet with new piston and cilinder 1 year and a half from now and never had any heating problems, not even on steep sandy trial climbs (1st and 2nd gear stuff and clutch abuse). However since a couple of weeks I am having some heating problems. The boiling coolant gets in the overflow tank and should flow back but it doesn't, so it overfills and then some of the coolant gets out of the fillercap. I did notice that some coolant was pressed out the overflow cap.
I found out that the bike was running hot last week because I suddenly lost all pressure in the clutch and found out that the hydraulic fluid in the clutch pump was boiling. Looking into the radiator I see a regular flow of liquid, so it does seem to be a waterpump issue. What coud prevent the coolant to flow back into the radiator aftercooling off? Why dores it run hotter now? No dirt in coolant and no smoke from exhaust so I don't think it will be the headgasket either?

Any ideas?
