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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Radiator Cap Cross Match

I've been laded up the last couple months with an arm injury so, about once a week I've been starting my '14 TXC 310R and letting it idle in order to maintain the battery. Anyway when I started it today it started spewing coolant from the overflow as it warmed up. I'm thinking that my radiator cap has gone bad for sitting idle for to long and I would like to replace it with a higher pressure one. The one on it now is a 1.4 and I would like to replace it with a 2.0. My question is what other brand bike does the Husky cap fit. I know that KTM caps are different than Jap bike caps. I don't have a bunch of husky dealers close by so I'll have to order one, I just want to get it right.
Thanks, Rex
 
Hope your arm is healed soon. Being laded up for to long for sure would get old. Like OHR said, wonder how long your beast is at idle before it spews into the overflow. I don't know which radiator caps cross fit, but I have seen discussions on this forum about that subject, with as I recall, answers as well for at least some Huskys.

How long did you let it idle? You could have something else wrong that is causing the bike to run hotter than normal.

It started dripping before it can up to full temp so, it wasn't over heating and it only dripped from the overflow. This lead me to concluded that the radiator cap has a weakened spring or a bad gasket. Simple solutions first, then dig deeper. This ain't my first rodeo. Thanks, Rex

What was keeping the fan from kicking on.... Any replacement or rewiring?

I think it was a some corrosion in the wiring. I pulled the fan and tested it and it worked fine so, then I cleaned all the connections and put it back together and it seems to work fine now. It sat in the garage for a couple months, after I washed it from my last ride, due to a minor arm injury may be the cause.
