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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Check that hose for kinks- gas tank or whatever may have pinched it...

Right now with all that fluid in your bottle check the level of the radiator by taking off the cap (while cool)- in theory it should be doun some. Either the cap is not functioning properly (sticking or not sealing to create vacume) or the line is pinched. There is less force pulling back into the radiator than out which is why it may push it out but not pull it back in.
 
just check the the radiator is at the right level. empty the over flow bottle go riding and see if water is pumped out of the radiator into the overflow bottle if no water in overflow should be ok if water in overflow replace rad cap ps..water may get in overflow bottle when washing bike see how you go
 
Ok thanks guys I'll check everything you have sugested, I am also thinking on increasing the radiator cap pressure from 1.1 to1.4 to see if that helps, I have been told the more pressure the water is under the harder it is for it to boil

You should leave a bit of coolant in the overflow to prevent the bottle from melting when hot coolant overflows into it.
