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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Overheat Temp

Can anyone tell me at what temp does the fan automatically switch-on? And at what temp does the red overheat light come on?
TIA
 
After putting on a Trail Tech with a temp sensor, I don't think my fan come on with any regularity based on temps. It's one of those iffy things about my bike.
 
I really don't think my fan has EVER come on.....

Dodgy thermo sensor? Fan? Whatever....... never heard it.
 
The manual states 184 degrees high temp and 200 degrees overheat. My fan kicked-on at 205. I adjusted my gauge settings accordingly.

Thanks,

I could be wrong (it wouldn't be the first time!!) but I thought the red light was for over revving (not temp).......(i.e. red light = red line)
 
I have 60w oil in my bike right now. It seems to cross the 200 mark real easily, and I wonder if the oil is causing more heat? I think I ran 40w oil last summer and I didn't cross the mark so easily. Thoughts?
 
A fan would help if you had a manual switch and rode in bumper to bumper traffic. Mine hasn't come on in ages, I know a bunch of people just took them off their 610.
 
If my bike sits at idle for about ten minutes the fan will kick on. I'll check the cylinder temp with my infrared gauge and report back.
