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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE 450 oil change help.....

I just finished changing the oil in my 09 TE 450, I have a o-ring left over and I have no idea where it goes! It's not the small one for the trans screen. I ran the bike for a few minutes and didnt see any leaks.... Any ideas would be very helpful.
 
I think 22, 23, 34 are rubber O-rings. There's 2 Orings of different sizes on part number 21.

Are number 22 and 23 are both attached to number 21? Or does number 22 belong on the end of the screen? (no. 7) Thanks for the help!
 
#21, the cover has a machined step that centers the outer oring, and I think the inner, smaller one also. The larger one seals the case and cover, the smaller on the oil passage to the inner filter screen. You can lay the bike on the right side and pull that cover off and put the oring in. Don't overtorque the 2 small bolts.
 
Thanks. Sorry to sound stupid. I've changed the oil several times before and everything seems to be right. I guess my spare oring fell from the sky and landed on the side of my oil drain pan! Lesson learned....Don't change your oil with a hangover!

I read where the Homerun King [Mickey Mantle] was always sober when playing Baseball & golf. They fiqured it put about 5 years on his life so maybe the garage should be too

Well, maybe bring it down to a six pack

If you really want to simplify those oil changes and dealing with the multiple screens, check out 7602's solution which converts everything to one wrench/socket size, 14mm. No more allen wrenches. I installed his kit on my 510 a few months before I sold it. Very good investment.

Edit: On the drinking while wrenching topic, I really had to cage myself this past weekend when dealing with valve adjustments. Doing the math for the correct shims and discovering an error in the manual would not have been feasible with anything less than a clear mind. I normally sip on a beer when doing casual maintenance but this definitely was not the occasion for that stuff.
