  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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,
was out on my 2009 TE310 today when I felt the bike a bit shakey and running rough..... I was close to home so I turned back, when I got home the bike was idling at high rpm and the whole bike felt really hot, then I spotted coolant comming from the overflow pipe........ I let it cool down and tryed starting it again it was a bit backfirey but when it fired it was over reving again and it got hot in no time at all....?
Any suggestions would be greatful
Thanks
 
Ok Thanks guys for your replys, OHR i will check the intake manifold tomorrow, and shilo020 I started the bike again after it was cool and i took of the radiator cap while the bike was running and the coolant was spinning around in the radiator which leeds me to think the water pump is doing its job!.... the only thing I have done wrong with the bike prior to this over heating was I switched around the realys as the bike cut out on me a few days ago when the fuel pump realy went on the bike, so I just changed over to one of the other realys which I thought didnt do anything important for the running of the bike..... wonder would this have anything to do with this???

Thanks again guys, your help is much appreciated, I really like my new Husky and cant wait to get back on it soon.

Intake manifold leak could make the bike run hot AND make the bike idle high as well.

Well you have hit the nail on the head with that one!..... I checked all the fuses and they were fine then I checked the manifold intake and what ya know! it was off at the top a bit! I guess the bolt on the jubilee clip had vibrated loose and rubber boot slipped off and made it leak..... once I realigned it and tighten it back up, bike was back to normal:D then off up the hill for a good test drive, going great now.... just goes to show ya, something simple like that caused a few problems at once! anyway good outcome.
thanks to OHR for your wealth of knowledge:oldman:
