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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I just want to make owners aware of a potential problem. During a pretty hard ride I began to smell anti-freeze. My riding buddies said it was the over flow since it was a hot day and we were riding hard.

Turned out that my header pipe burned a hole into the lower radiator hose! The hole was on the underside of the hose so it was hard to see. Gradually all the water drained out of the radiator.

The lower radiator hose is routed very close to the header and owners should check it to make sure it is not contacting the header. It is a very bad location for a radiator hose.
 
Have you removed the catalytic converter yet? My experience with my te449 was that the exhaust was ridiculously hot with the catalytic converter still in. It seems like the cat was an afterthought. Cutting that POS out make a huge difference in exhaust temp.
